Frequently asked questions

No. All speech-to-text processing happens 100% locally on your Mac using OpenAI's Whisper AI model. Your audio is processed in RAM and never written to disk, sent to any server, or stored anywhere. Unlike cloud-based dictation tools like Otter.ai or Google's speech recognition, Scrybapp requires no internet connection at all. This makes it ideal for confidential work, medical dictation, legal documents, and anyone who values privacy.

Everything — unlimited transcriptions, access to all Whisper AI models (tiny, base, small, medium, large), lifetime updates, priority email support, and up to 3 device activations. There are no hidden fees, no subscription, and no usage limits. You pay once and own it forever. Every future update and new feature is included at no extra cost.

Scrybapp uses OpenAI's Whisper AI, which achieves 95-99% accuracy across 99+ languages — significantly higher than Apple's built-in dictation. Whisper AI also handles accents, technical jargon, medical terminology, and noisy environments much better. Plus, Scrybapp automatically removes filler words like 'uh', 'um', and 'like' that Apple Dictation leaves in.

Yes, 100%. Scrybapp runs entirely on your Mac with no internet connection required. The Whisper AI model is downloaded once during setup and runs locally using your Mac's processor. You can dictate on an airplane, in a coffee shop without WiFi, or anywhere else. This is a major advantage over cloud-based alternatives like Wispr Flow or Otter.ai.

Scrybapp supports 99+ languages thanks to OpenAI's Whisper model, including English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian, and many more. The app auto-detects which language you're speaking — no need to manually switch. You can even switch languages mid-sentence.

Your lifetime license key works on up to 3 Macs. This covers your work laptop, personal Mac, and a desktop. If you need to transfer an activation to a new device, contact us and we'll help you reset it.

Yes. Scrybapp works in any application where you can type — Gmail, Slack, Notion, VS Code, Cursor, WhatsApp, Discord, Terminal, Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Obsidian, and hundreds more. Simply press ⌥ Space, speak, and the text appears wherever your cursor is. No plugins or integrations needed.

The biggest difference is pricing: Scrybapp costs $39 once (lifetime) while Wispr Flow charges $8.49/month and SuperWhisper charges $8.49/month. Over 2 years, you'd save over $160 with Scrybapp. All three use Whisper AI for transcription, but Scrybapp is the only one with a true lifetime license and zero cloud dependency. See our detailed comparisons at /vs/wispr-flow and /vs/superwhisper.

Yes! You get 3 minutes of free voice transcription to test Scrybapp before purchasing. No credit card required, no account needed — just download and start speaking. The trial gives you full access to all features including all AI models and all 99+ languages.

Contact us at support@scrybapp.com and we'll resend your license key to the email address used during purchase. We keep a secure record of all purchases so you'll never permanently lose access.

Scrybapp works on macOS 12 (Monterey) and later, on both Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) and Intel Macs. Apple Silicon Macs will get the fastest transcription speeds thanks to the Neural Engine. You need at least 4GB of RAM, though 8GB+ is recommended for the larger Whisper models.

Absolutely. Because all processing happens locally on your device with no cloud involvement, Scrybapp is ideal for privacy-sensitive fields like healthcare and law. Your patient records, legal briefs, and confidential documents never leave your Mac. While Scrybapp is not formally HIPAA-certified, the fully local architecture means there's no data transmission risk.

Yes! Scrybapp can translate your voice in real-time. Speak in French and get English text, speak in Japanese and get Spanish text — any combination of 99+ languages. The translation happens locally on your Mac using Whisper AI, with no internet required. It's perfect for non-native speakers who think in one language but need to write in another.

Whisper AI's translation is remarkably accurate for natural speech. It handles idioms, context, and technical vocabulary well. For best results, use the medium or large Whisper model. The translation produces natural, fluent text in the target language — not word-for-word literal translation. This is exactly what you want for emails, social media replies, and professional documents.
