Document care, privately.
Patient data is sacred. Yaps processes all voice input on your Mac — no cloud uploads, no third-party servers, no data leaving your device. Dictate clinical notes between appointments, review records by listening, and keep your documentation workflow where it belongs: on your machine.

The Yaps approach
Built for clinical reality
Designed around how healthcare professionals actually work.
Rapid Clinical Dictation
Hold Fn after each patient encounter and speak your note. Auto-punctuation handles the formatting. Paste the result into your EHR, email, or documentation system. A two-minute dictation replaces ten minutes of typing.
Patient Data Stays on Device
No audio is uploaded. No transcripts are stored remotely. No third-party service ever touches patient information. The entire speech recognition pipeline runs locally on your Mac's hardware.
Review Records by Listening
Select patient notes, lab results, or referral letters and have Yaps read them aloud in a natural voice. Review charts by listening while you prepare for your next appointment.
Works in Restricted Networks
Many clinical environments restrict internet access for security. Yaps runs completely offline — no Wi-Fi, no cellular data, no VPN required for any core feature.
Medical Vocabulary Recognition
The local speech model handles medical terminology, drug names, anatomical terms, and clinical abbreviations. Speak naturally using the language you use with colleagues.
Searchable Dictation History
Every dictation is timestamped and saved locally with the context of which app you were using. Find the note you dictated after your 2pm patient or the referral letter from last Thursday.
Voice workflows for every role
From the exam room to the research lab.
Between-Appointment Notes
Step out of the exam room, hold Fn, and dictate your clinical note while the encounter is fresh. Paste into the EHR. Move to your next patient. Documentation done in real time.
Patient presents with persistent lower back pain, worse with prolonged sitting. No radicular symptoms. Physical exam unremarkable. Plan: PT referral, follow up in 6 weeks.
”Discharge Summaries
Dictate discharge instructions and summaries rapidly at the end of a shift. Speak the diagnosis, treatment plan, medication changes, and follow-up schedule in one pass.
Discharge diagnosis: community-acquired pneumonia. Completed 5-day course of azithromycin. Follow up with PCP in one week. Return if symptoms worsen.
”Therapy Session Notes
After a therapy session, dictate your clinical impressions and treatment observations. Yaps transcribes locally — sensitive mental health information never touches a cloud server.
Client demonstrated improved distress tolerance using DBT skills discussed in session. Homework: practice TIPP technique daily. Next session Thursday.
”Research Documentation
Dictate lab observations, experiment notes, and research findings as they happen. Voice notes capture the nuance that gets lost when you type abbreviated notes hours later.
Referral Letters
Dictate referral letters and correspondence to other providers. Speak the patient history, current findings, and reason for referral in a natural narrative format.
Patient Follow-Up Communication
Dictate follow-up messages, care instructions, and patient education materials. Yaps formats the text professionally, ready to send through your secure messaging system.
Hear from people like you.
“I see 25 patients a day. Before Yaps, I would go home and spend two hours finishing my notes. Now I dictate each note in the minute between appointments. The quality is actually better because I'm capturing observations while they're fresh instead of reconstructing them from memory at 8pm. And nothing leaves my Mac — I checked with our compliance team and they were genuinely impressed.”
