Built for academic life
Tools that fit the way students actually study and write.
Voice Notes Between Classes
Record a quick voice note after a lecture, during a study group, or while reading. It is transcribed instantly and searchable by keyword.
Study by Listening
Paste your notes and have Yaps read them aloud with natural voices. Listen while commuting, exercising, or doing chores - turn dead time into study time.
Searchable Smart History
Every dictation and voice note is saved and searchable. Find that insight from last week's lecture by typing a keyword.
Studio for Presentations
Generate narrated audio for presentations and slide decks with text-to-speech. Paste your script, pick a voice, preview the waveform, and export WAV files for group projects and multimedia assignments.
No Wi-Fi Required
Library Wi-Fi is down again? Yaps does not care. Everything runs on your own machine. Dictate and study anywhere, any time.
Your campus workflow, upgraded
Real ways students use Yaps throughout their week.
Essay Writing
Dictate your thesis statement, body paragraphs, and conclusion by voice. Many students find their arguments are more coherent when spoken out loud.
“The central argument of this paper is that social media algorithms create ideological echo chambers by prioritizing engagement over informational diversity...”
Post-Lecture Capture
Right after class, record a two-minute voice note summarizing key takeaways. You will remember more and have a searchable study resource.
“Voice note: Professor Kim said the exam will focus on chapters 7 through 12. The Keynesian multiplier effect is definitely going to be on it.”
Audio Study Sessions
Paste your study notes into Yaps and listen to them read aloud. Repeat sections, adjust speed, and study hands-free while walking between classes.
Research Notes
Dictate summaries as you read journal articles. Speak your observations, questions, and connections - building a searchable research log over time.
“Note on Smith 2024: their methodology is similar to Park's but they control for socioeconomic status. Compare with our literature review section.”
Thesis & Dissertation
Grad students use Yaps to dictate entire thesis chapters. When you have been researching for months, the ideas flow faster than your fingers can keep up.
Group Project Coordination
Dictate meeting notes during group study sessions. Assign tasks and document decisions by voice so everyone stays aligned.
“Team meeting notes: Alex handles the data analysis section, I'll write the intro and lit review, Jamie does the presentation slides. Due Friday.”
Hear from people like you.
“I record voice notes after every lecture and dictate my papers instead of typing them. My workflow used to be read, highlight, type slowly, and lose focus. Now it is read, speak my thoughts, and keep moving. I wrote my entire linguistics thesis draft by voice - 40,000 words in three weeks. The searchable history is a lifesaver for finding quotes and ideas I mentioned weeks ago.”
