Yak is Here — Voice-to-Text for Vibe Coding
Introducing Yak, the fastest and most accurate voice-to-text tool built for developers and creators. Powered by multimodal AI, native on macOS.
We're thrilled to announce that Yak is officially available — a voice-to-text application built from the ground up for developers, writers, and anyone who thinks faster than they type.
Why We Built Yak
Typing is a bottleneck. Whether you're coding, writing documentation, or drafting emails, your fingers can't keep up with your thoughts. Existing voice-to-text solutions are either inaccurate, slow, or invasive with your data.
We built Yak to change that.
What Makes Yak Different
Multimodal AI Transcription
Yak is powered by multimodal reasoning models that understand audio context — not just words. This means better accuracy, smarter punctuation, and natural-sounding output, all in a single step.
Blazing Fast
Results appear in ~1-2 seconds. Yak keeps up with your thoughts without interrupting your flow.
Adaptive Output Styles
Yak automatically adjusts its output based on the app you're using. Casual tone for messaging apps, formal style for emails, code-friendly formatting for your IDE. You can also create custom styles for any workflow.
AI Command Mode
Select any text and let AI rewrite, translate, summarize, or execute custom commands — all powered by voice. Works in any application.
100+ Languages
Support for over 100 languages with automatic detection. Handles various accents, dialects, and speaking speeds with ease.
Enterprise-Grade Privacy
Built on Vertex AI's zero data retention policy. Your audio is never stored, never used for model training, and never reviewed by humans. All transcription data is saved locally on your device.
Native Performance
Built with Tauri v2 and Rust for exceptional performance. Tiny app size, ~20 MB runtime memory footprint, runs smoothly under any conditions.
