Just talk.
It writes.
Private dictation and cleanup, entirely on your Mac.
Speak in Japanese or English, then keep working where you are.
If cleanup changes too much, Hanashigaki uses the raw transcript instead. Switch the spoken language in Settings.
Requires macOS 26+, Apple silicon, and Apple Intelligence turned on for cleanup.
The demo is illustrative. Timing varies with your Mac and text length.
Your voice and text stay on this Mac.
Audio and text are not sent to an external server for recognition or cleanup. No account is required.
Hanashigaki connects only to register and verify a purchase key with Gumroad and to check yamag.app once a day for updates. Speech and text are never included.
From speech to clean writing.
Hanashigaki removes clear fillers and keeps the corrected part after phrases such as “no wait.” It does not aim to add words or summarize. If cleanup drifts too far from what you said, it inserts the raw transcript.
Measured on the developer’s Mac with English sample sentences read by synthetic voices (median 0.38 s, max 0.54 s). Times vary with your Mac and text length.
Cleanup, with a safety net.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use it offline?
Yes. Recognition and cleanup run on your Mac. A connection is needed to register and occasionally verify a purchase key, and to check for updates. If a check cannot connect, you can keep using the app.
How does recognition accuracy compare with cloud dictation?
We do not have comparative accuracy data. Try it for 14 days with your own work. You can correct recurring mistakes with the dictionary.
Where are my speech and text stored?
Dictation history and your dictionary are stored only on this Mac. You can turn history off or delete it at any time.
What happens if Apple Intelligence is off?
Hanashigaki inserts the raw transcript without cleanup. Turn on Apple Intelligence in System Settings to use cleanup.
What if I replace my Mac?
Register the same purchase key on your new Mac. One key allows 5 registrations. Contact support if you run out.
Can I get a refund?
Please use the 14-day trial before buying. Refunds are generally not offered for a change of mind. We will refund a duplicate purchase, or a purchase that does not work on a Mac meeting the requirements after support cannot resolve it, if you contact us within 30 days of purchase. See the Legal notice (Japanese).
