What is Speakeasy?

A voice-to-text tool that actually understands how people speak

System-Wide Dictation

Works in any app, any text field. Email, Slack, your IDE, documents—just hold a key and speak.

AI-Powered Cleanup

Removes "um", "uh", "like" automatically. Fixes grammar, adds punctuation, and polishes your words.

Instant Results

Text appears in milliseconds. Stream mode shows words as you speak. No waiting, no friction.

Privacy First

Audio is processed and discarded. Nothing stored on servers. Your words stay yours.

How It Works

Three simple steps to effortless dictation

1

Hold the Key

Press and hold the Option key anywhere on your Mac. A subtle waveform appears to show you're recording.

Option
2

Speak Naturally

Talk like you normally would. Don't worry about "ums" or pauses—Speakeasy handles all of that.

"So basically, um, I wanted to say that the project is, you know, going really well..."
3

Release and Done

Let go and polished text appears instantly. It's automatically pasted right where your cursor is.

"The project is going really well."

What if I pay $0?

That's completely fine! You'll still get a valid license and full access to all features. We trust you to pay what feels right.

How long does the license last?

Each license is valid for 1 year. When it expires, simply renew at whatever price you think is fair - even $0. No auto-billing, you're always in control.

Can I use it on multiple Macs?

One license works on one Mac. Need more? Just purchase additional licenses.

What about API costs?

Speakeasy uses your own API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic). You pay those providers directly - typically $0.01-0.05/day with normal use.

Pay What You Think
