Every question, answered.

yapyap records and transcribes conversations on your own computer, for €69, once. Everything people ask before buying is on this page. Missing one? Write to [email protected] and it gets added.

yapyap records your conversations and turns them into clean, searchable transcripts, summaries, and action lists. All on your computer.

No, there is no subscription! yapyap costs €69, once, and it is yours forever. Every update included, nothing to cancel. The cloud notetakers keep charging: five years of Otter, Granola or Fireflies runs to $500 and up.

Never your audio and transcripts stay on your computer and do not reach me, so there is nothing of yours to sell. And if I disappear tomorrow, your copy keeps working without me.

Yes, as many write-ups as you like: meeting minutes, an action list, a quote sheet. Same recording, different lens.

No. At your desk your computer records. Away from it, yapyap go records and transcribes on your iPhone or Android phone, free and unlimited, and the take lands back home.

Yes, and that is the point. Recording, transcription, speaker recognition, and write-ups all run on your own machine. No wifi, no cloud, no account.

The desktop app runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. yapyap go, the phone recorder, runs on iOS and Android.

A lens is a saved way of reading a recording: a summary, an action list, a quote sheet. Use the built-in ones or write your own. Sharing a lens never shares your audio.

Yes. yapyap runs speaker diarisation on your computer: it separates the voices and puts a name on every line, so you can search and quote by person.

Diarisation is working out who spoke when, and splitting a recording into turns per person. yapyap does it on your machine and lets you name each voice once.

yapyap go is a standalone recorder, not a microphone for a meeting your laptop is already recording. At your desk, your computer records. Away from it, hit record on your phone: it transcribes on the phone itself, free and unlimited. The take lands on your computer over your own wifi, where the voices get separated and the write-ups happen.

Open models that run on your own machine, such as OpenAI's Whisper and NVIDIA's Parakeet. You pick the model in settings, and nothing leaves your computer.

Yes. Transcription runs on models like Whisper, which understands about 100 languages. Pick your language in settings, and everything still happens on your own machine.

€69, once, for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Every update is included, forever. There is a free trial, and no card is needed to start.

Yes. Hold your dictation shortcut in any app, speak, and yapyap types the words at your cursor. It transcribes on your own machine, so it works offline and nothing is uploaded.

Yes, to open formats: Markdown, plain text, Word, HTML, JSON, CSV, and SubRip or WebVTT subtitles. Your recordings are ordinary files on your own disk, so nothing is ever locked in.

No. Your recordings and transcripts stay on your own disk and never reach me, so there is nothing of yours to sell. There is no account and no ad business.

All three: the app is written yapyap, the domain is yap-yap.app, and people shorten it to yap. They are the same voice and meeting recorder. It is not the YAPYAP co-op game on Steam, which is a different product from a different studio.

No. You download it, you record. Activating your licence is a single network call that carries no recording data.
