Yap Voice Typing

Yap Voice Typing brings private, on-device dictation to the Chrome browser, typing your words directly where your cursor sits. It is a recent release from O-mega Enterprise Inc., the developer of the Yap dictation apps, and it keeps the same privacy-first design as the rest of the family.

• It works in standard inputs, text areas and rich editors, and on pages that draw their own text, it copies your words to the clipboard so you can paste them.
• Whisper runs inside the browser after a one-time download of roughly 80 MB, and from then on it works offline.
• It adds capitalization and punctuation automatically and removes filler words like "um" and "uh."
• An on-page indicator shows when it is listening, recordings can run up to two minutes, and pressing Esc cancels.
• The listing states there are no accounts and no analytics, and the microphone is active only while you dictate.

It is ideal for people who write in web apps all day, such as Gmail, Google Docs, chat tools and CRMs, and for anyone who prefers speaking to typing. If the default Alt+Shift+Y shortcut clashes with another extension, you can change it on Chrome's extension shortcuts page so dictation is always one keystroke away.
