FAQ

Frequently asked.

Answers about the tiers, the license, privacy, and what Yapivo actually does. If yours isn’t here, write to support@yapivo.com — no account needed.

What's the difference between Speak, Control, and Delegate?

Speak is dictation — talk instead of type, free forever, no word limits. Control adds voice commands for macOS: navigate apps, edit text by voice, run your own workflows. Delegate is the one that does work for you — describe a task and Yapivo carries out the steps. Speak is free, Control is a one-time payment, and Delegate will be a subscription when it ships.

Is there a free version?

Yes—and dictation is unlimited on it. No word limits, no credit card, no trial period. You only pay if you want the Control power features like voice commands, Voice Systems, and Context Vault.

What does Control include, and is it really one payment?

Control is a single $79 payment—no subscription, ever. It unlocks voice commands for macOS, Voice Systems (reusable voice automations), Context Vault (learns your vocabulary and writing style), per-app formatting, and edit-by-voice. It is a perpetual license: the version you buy is yours forever, and every update released in the first year is included.

What happens after the first year of updates?

Nothing changes about what you own. The app keeps working, forever, with every feature and update released during your first year. If you want the newer versions after that, there will be an optional renewal—but you are never locked out of what you paid for, and there is nothing to cancel.

When is Delegate available, and what does joining the waitlist commit me to?

Delegate is still being built, so there is no date yet. Joining the waitlist costs nothing and creates no account: you get one email when it is ready, and nothing before that. Reply to it any time and you are off the list.

Do I need an account to buy?

No. Your license key is shown on screen the moment the payment goes through, and emailed to you as well. Paste it into Yapivo under Settings → Enter License. An account is only useful if you want your purchase visible on the web dashboard.

Which apps does it work with?

Yapivo works in any text field on your Mac—email clients, Slack, Notion, Google Docs, VS Code, ChatGPT, and thousands more. If you can type in it, you can speak in it.

How accurate is the transcription?

State-of-the-art speech recognition means 95%+ accuracy for most speakers. Add our AI cleanup layer and your transcriptions come out cleaner than what you'd type.

What if I stutter or make mistakes?

Yapivo's AI layer handles natural speech patterns gracefully. Stutters, restarts, and corrections are cleaned up automatically. Speak like a human, get polished text.

How does Yapivo protect my privacy?

Your audio is processed locally on your device by default. For cloud features, we use encrypted connections and never store your voice recordings. You have full control over your data.

What languages does Yapivo support?

Yapivo supports over 90 languages and dialects. You can speak in your native language and switch between languages seamlessly within the same session.

Will it slow down my computer?

Yapivo is built to be lightweight. It uses minimal resources when idle and processes speech efficiently. You won't notice any slowdown in your daily work.

How long does it take to get comfortable?

Most users feel natural within a day or two. The bigger adjustment is realizing how much faster you can work—and learning to trust your voice over your keyboard.
