Use local models on your Mac, or AssemblyAI’s EU services for cloud dictation and writing.

No history by default.

Dictation audio and the latest text stay in memory.

You decide when to send.

Yapaca pastes the text and restores your clipboard. It never sends a message for you.

Common questions.

Can I download Yapaca yet?

Yapaca is in private alpha, so there’s no public download yet. It runs on macOS 14 or later and needs microphone and Accessibility permissions.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Download speech and writing models in Settings to dictate, rewrite and translate on your Mac.

What do I need for cloud features?

An internet connection and either cloud access through your Yapaca account or your own AssemblyAI API key. With your own key, rewriting and translation need paid model access.

Does Yapaca save my dictations?

Yapaca doesn’t save ordinary dictation audio. Text history is off by default; you can turn it on in Settings. For cloud requests, AssemblyAI’s retention settings also apply.
