Work from anywhere, speak everywhere
Remote work means unreliable WiFi, endless Slack threads, and all-day typing. Yaps lets you dictate messages, emails, and docs at 150+ words per minute - completely offline, completely private. Your voice tools should never depend on your coffee shop's internet.

Dictation

Built for the remote workday
Yaps handles the communication overhead so you can focus on the work itself.
Offline Dictation
No WiFi? No problem. Yaps processes everything on your Mac's hardware. Dictate from a cabin in the mountains, a train through a tunnel, or a cafe with terrible internet. Your voice tools work wherever you do.
Async Communication Speed
Remote work runs on written communication. Dictate Slack messages, email replies, Notion docs, and status updates at natural speaking speed. What used to take 5 minutes of typing takes 30 seconds of talking.
TTS Document Consumption
Turn long documents, PRDs, and Slack threads into audio. Listen while you stretch, make coffee, or take a walk. Combat screen fatigue by consuming information through your ears instead of your eyes.
Voice Notes for Meetings
The moment a Zoom call ends, capture your takeaways by voice. Action items, decisions, and follow-ups are transcribed and saved before the next meeting steals your attention.
Searchable Work History
Every dictation and voice note is saved locally and fully searchable. Find that idea you spoke about last Tuesday, or the action item from Friday's standup. Your spoken words become a personal knowledge base.
Privacy on Public Networks
Working from a coworking space, airport lounge, or hotel lobby? Yaps never sends audio or text over the network. Your company's sensitive information stays on your machine, not on a shared WiFi pipe.
Real remote work workflows
How remote professionals actually use Yaps throughout the day.
Slack & Email Dictation
Dictate replies to Slack threads and emails as fast as you think. No more staring at a blinking cursor trying to compose the perfect message - just say it and refine.
“Thanks for the update on the Q3 roadmap. I think we should prioritize the API integration work before tackling the dashboard redesign - happy to discuss in our Thursday sync.”
Meeting Follow-Ups
Capture action items and key decisions the moment a call ends. Speak your notes while the context is fresh, and Yaps transcribes them into searchable text instantly.
“Follow-up from the product sync: we agreed to push the launch to March 15th. I own the migration script, Priya owns the notification emails, and we need to loop in design for the updated onboarding flow.”
Document Review by Ear
Use text-to-speech to listen to long documents, project briefs, and team updates. Perfect for catching up on reading while stepping away from the screen.
Daily Standup Prep
Dictate your standup update before the meeting. Speak freely about what you shipped yesterday, what is blocking you, and what you are working on today.
“Yesterday I finished the auth token refresh logic and opened the PR. Today I am picking up the rate limiting middleware. No blockers but I might need a review from someone on the platform team.”
Brainstorming Sessions
Think out loud and capture every idea. Dictate stream-of-consciousness notes during solo brainstorms - the raw transcript often contains insights you would never bother typing out.
“What if we flip the onboarding flow entirely - instead of asking for preferences first, we drop them straight into the product with smart defaults and let them customize later...”
Travel-Friendly Work
Airports, trains, hotel rooms - Yaps works everywhere without needing connectivity. Draft documents, capture ideas, and stay productive during transit without depending on spotty travel WiFi.
“Draft for the client proposal: we recommend a phased rollout starting with the core API endpoints in week one, followed by the webhook integration in week two...”
Hear from people like you.
“I work remotely from a different city every month, and the WiFi situation is always a gamble. Yaps changed everything because it just works - no connection needed. I dictate all my Slack messages, emails, and meeting notes now. My daily written output probably tripled, and I am not exaggerating. The privacy angle sealed the deal for me too. When I am working from a coworking space in Lisbon or a cafe in Mexico City, knowing my audio never touches the network means I can dictate confidential client work without a second thought.”
