Yap

Yap is voice dictation for Mac and Windows: hold a shortcut, speak, and let go, and Yap turns your speech into clean, punctuated text typed straight into the app you're using. Speech recognition runs entirely on your computer, so recordings are never uploaded, and it works offline with 25 languages detected automatically, punctuation and filler-word removal, and a searchable local history. There's a 14-day free trial, then $6.90/month or $69/year. Worth weighing: it's a subscription in a category with free built-in OS dictation, so the value is in the accuracy, privacy and cross-app polish. For anyone who writes a lot and wants private, offline dictation, it's a strong pick.
