“Hi David um I just wanted to let you know that the Q2 campaign budget has been approved, it's uh twelve thousand five hundred dollars, no wait actually it's thirteen thousand, my bad. Anyway we need the creative assets by June 15th. Oh and also the team meeting is moved to Thursday at 2 PM in conference room B.

Zero retention
Audio is deleted from our servers immediately after transcription. No caching, no archiving, no keeping. Every voice input is processed once and gone.
No training
Your data is never used for any form of model training or product improvement. Audio is used solely for real-time transcription and discarded immediately after.
Fully compliant
Built on Vertex AI, compliant with SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA standards. Enterprise-grade security for everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Yak
Yak offers a 30-day Pro trial with no credit card required. After the trial, you can continue with the free plan (100 requests/week) or upgrade to Pro for unlimited usage. Yak Pro is a subscription that you can cancel anytime, with access continuing until your subscription period ends.
Yak currently supports macOS 12 (Monterey) and later, with native support for both Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs. Windows and Linux versions are in development.
Yak supports 100+ languages with automatic detection, and this number is continuously growing. The multimodal AI engine handles various accents, dialects, and speaking speeds with ease.
Yes, data protection is a core principle. Yak inherits Vertex AI's zero data retention policy — your audio is processed and immediately discarded, never stored, never used for model training, and never reviewed by humans. All transcription data is saved locally on your device only. Vertex AI holds certifications including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and more.
Yes, Yak requires an internet connection for transcription as it uses cloud-based multimodal AI models. You can use Yak Cloud or BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) mode with your own API key.
Both plans can be activated on up to 3 devices. You can manage your devices from your account dashboard.
For Yak Pro subscriptions, you can cancel anytime and keep access until the end of your billing period. After cancellation, your account reverts to the free plan.
The Free plan gives you 100 requests per week with standard processing — great for light usage or BYOK users. Yak Pro is a subscription ($12/mo annual or $15/mo monthly) with unlimited cloud AI and always-updated features.
The first few months of Yak's development revolved around a local-model architecture — until we realized that local models simply cannot deliver high-quality transcription in a single pass. Multimodal large language models currently deliver the best accuracy for voice understanding, while local models have yet to reach the required level of capability. Our goal has always been to provide the best possible user experience, so when local models become powerful enough, we will absolutely add support for them.
