CAPABILITIES / Mac work

Built for the places you already type.

Cursor ready

Press once. Speak into the app you were already using.

Just Speak records, transcribes with local Whisper, and inserts the text into the active field.

Dictation

Focused on transcription

No writing assistant layer. The product is built around fast local dictation and cursor paste.

FAQ / Before launch

Before you ask

Is this a subscription?

No. One payment, yours forever. Early Access buyers get lifetime Just Speak app updates while the product is actively maintained and distributed. This does not guarantee indefinite maintenance, every future feature, every future macOS compatibility fix, third-party service availability, or support forever.

Does my voice leave my Mac?

The public build does not expose cloud transcription. By default speech recognition runs on your machine.

How accurate is local Whisper?

Very. On Apple Silicon, the recommended models transcribe natural speech with near-cloud accuracy, and Just Speak picks the best model your hardware can run comfortably.

What happens when the trial ends?

New dictations pause. Your settings and history stay accessible, and entering a license key picks up right where you left off.
