The page you arrived on was raw speech — crooked, misspelled, almost right. You scrolled, and it composed itself. That is the entire product. You talk the way people talk. Yena writes the way you wish you typed.
scroll back to the top and it comes apart again — see for yourself ↑
Anywhere on your Mac — mail, docs, code, iMessage. No window to open, nothing to switch to.
Talk like a person. An open-source speech model transcribes in real time, on your chip.
Your words are already there — punctuated, capitalized, roughly three times faster than typing.
The model downloads once and lives on your Mac. Airplane mode? Still works. Audio uploaded? Never.
If you can type in it, you can talk in it. System-wide — no plugins, no per-app setup.
You speak about three times faster than you type. Yena keeps up in real time on Apple Silicon.
Built on open-source speech models. Choose the size that fits your machine and your patience.
No subscription, no trial, no "pro" tier waiting around the corner. We made this for fun.
Don't trust us — read us. Every line that touches your microphone is public on GitHub.
Transcription happens in a process on your machine, and the audio is discarded the instant it becomes text. We couldn't listen even if we wanted to.
