For Remote Workers

Work from anywhere, speak everywhere

Remote work means unreliable WiFi, endless Slack threads, and all-day typing. Yaps lets you dictate messages, emails, and docs at 150+ words per minute — completely offline, completely private. Your voice tools should never depend on your coffee shop's internet.

Sound familiar?

Typing Slack messages and emails all day is the remote worker's RSI factory — your wrists pay the price for async communication
Coffee shop WiFi kills cloud-based dictation tools mid-sentence, losing your train of thought along with your connection
You spend more time writing about work — Slack threads, email chains, status updates, docs — than doing the actual work
Post-meeting "I should write that down" moments vanish within 30 seconds because switching to a note app breaks your flow
Reading long documents and PRDs on screen all day causes eye strain and fatigue that compounds by Friday afternoon
Working from shared spaces like cafes and coworking hubs means cloud dictation tools transmit your sensitive work audio through public networks

The Yaps way

Dictate every Slack message, email, and document at 150+ WPM — your wrists rest while your output doubles
Yaps runs 100% on your Mac. No server, no WiFi dependency, no mid-sentence dropouts. Dictate from anywhere with zero interruptions
Speaking is 3x faster than typing. Blast through your async communication backlog and get back to the work that matters
Capture action items and reflections as voice notes the moment a meeting ends — transcribed, timestamped, and searchable instantly
Use text-to-speech to listen to docs, PRDs, and long threads instead of reading them. Rest your eyes while staying informed
Your audio is processed entirely on-device. Nothing is transmitted over the network — not through your home WiFi, and certainly not through a public hotspot

Built for the remote workday

Yaps handles the communication overhead so you can focus on the work itself.

Offline Dictation

No WiFi? No problem. Yaps processes everything on your Mac's hardware. Dictate from a cabin in the mountains, a train through a tunnel, or a cafe with terrible internet. Your voice tools work wherever you do.

Async Communication Speed

Remote work runs on written communication. Dictate Slack messages, email replies, Notion docs, and status updates at natural speaking speed. What used to take 5 minutes of typing takes 30 seconds of talking.

TTS Document Consumption

Turn long documents, PRDs, and Slack threads into audio. Listen while you stretch, make coffee, or take a walk. Combat screen fatigue by consuming information through your ears instead of your eyes.

Voice Notes for Meetings

The moment a Zoom call ends, capture your takeaways by voice. Action items, decisions, and follow-ups are transcribed and saved before the next meeting steals your attention.

Searchable Work History

Every dictation and voice note is saved locally and fully searchable. Find that idea you spoke about last Tuesday, or the action item from Friday's standup. Your spoken words become a personal knowledge base.

Privacy on Public Networks

Working from a coworking space, airport lounge, or hotel lobby? Yaps never sends audio or text over the network. Your company's sensitive information stays on your machine, not on a shared WiFi pipe.

Real remote work workflows

How remote professionals actually use Yaps throughout the day.

01

Slack & Email Dictation

Dictate replies to Slack threads and emails as fast as you think. No more staring at a blinking cursor trying to compose the perfect message — just say it and refine.

“

Thanks for the update on the Q3 roadmap. I think we should prioritize the API integration work before tackling the dashboard redesign — happy to discuss in our Thursday sync.

”
02

Meeting Follow-Ups

Capture action items and key decisions the moment a call ends. Speak your notes while the context is fresh, and Yaps transcribes them into searchable text instantly.

“

Follow-up from the product sync: we agreed to push the launch to March 15th. I own the migration script, Priya owns the notification emails, and we need to loop in design for the updated onboarding flow.

”
03

Document Review by Ear

Use text-to-speech to listen to long documents, project briefs, and team updates. Perfect for catching up on reading while stepping away from the screen.

04

Daily Standup Prep

Dictate your standup update before the meeting. Speak freely about what you shipped yesterday, what is blocking you, and what you are working on today.

“

Yesterday I finished the auth token refresh logic and opened the PR. Today I am picking up the rate limiting middleware. No blockers but I might need a review from someone on the platform team.

”
05

Brainstorming Sessions

Think out loud and capture every idea. Dictate stream-of-consciousness notes during solo brainstorms — the raw transcript often contains insights you would never bother typing out.

“

What if we flip the onboarding flow entirely — instead of asking for preferences first, we drop them straight into the product with smart defaults and let them customize later...

”
06

Travel-Friendly Work

Airports, trains, hotel rooms — Yaps works everywhere without needing connectivity. Draft documents, capture ideas, and stay productive during transit without depending on spotty travel WiFi.

“

Draft for the client proposal: we recommend a phased rollout starting with the core API endpoints in week one, followed by the webhook integration in week two...

”

Hear from people like you.

“

“I work remotely from a different city every month, and the WiFi situation is always a gamble. Yaps changed everything because it just works — no connection needed. I dictate all my Slack messages, emails, and meeting notes now. My daily written output probably tripled, and I am not exaggerating. The privacy angle sealed the deal for me too. When I am working from a coworking space in Lisbon or a cafe in Mexico City, knowing my audio never touches the network means I can dictate confidential client work without a second thought.”

Voice Dictation in Regulated Industries: Why On-Device Processing Is the Only Safe Path

When a clinician dictates a patient diagnosis, an attorney records case strategy, or a financial analyst captures insider information — every word is regulated data. Cloud dictation turns each of those moments into a compliance exposure. On-device processing eliminates the risk entirely.

Attorney-Client Privilege and Voice Dictation: What Every Lawyer Needs to Know

When you dictate a privileged memo using a cloud-based tool, your words travel to a third-party server. That transmission may be all it takes to waive attorney-client privilege. Here is what the law says, why the risk is real, and how on-device dictation eliminates it entirely.
