About Yaps AI

Yaps is a collection of AI tools that process content on your own device rather than in the cloud, available on macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android, with a Chrome extension and a web studio. Dictation types into any app, and the site cites about 300 milliseconds to text. Meetings records a call on your computer with no bot, transcribes it, attributes speech to each speaker and drafts notes you can edit. Handwriting to notes turns a photo of a notebook page into a typed note, and documents to audio reads PDFs, ebooks and articles aloud in 31 languages.

Other tools include local image generation, Ask your notes, which answers from your own notes with citations, on-device translation with 28 languages in the Standard pack and 53 in Extended, auto captions, background removal, file transcription, text to speech, voice notes and voice cloning. Dictation, cleanup and read-aloud work offline in airplane mode. Yaps is free to download, with a Pro tier listed on the pricing page and 50 percent off the first year for students with a verified .edu email.
