Show HN: Yap – OSS on-device voice dictation for macOS with no model to download

Quality: 8/10 Relevance: 9/10

Summary

Yap is an open-source, on-device voice dictation tool for macOS that requires no model download or cloud service. It uses Apple's Speech framework for real-time transcription, stores transcripts locally, and pastes text into the active application via a global shortcut, with no network calls or telemetry. The project emphasizes privacy and provides straightforward installation via Homebrew or releases under the MIT license.
