Double press Fn to ask a question, draft text, or follow up—no selection needed. Select text when you want it rewritten or translated.
“Make that sentence shorter.”
Add names, projects, and terms by hand, review suggestions from pasted text, or confirm a correction after dictation. Edit or delete saved items whenever you need.
Usage shows daily, weekly, and monthly dictation totals, speaking time, top apps, and Voice Agent tasks. Daily totals stay on this Mac without text or audio. Pause or clear them in Settings → Privacy.
SayKuku is free. Its source is available on GitHub under Apache 2.0. It uses Qwen3.8 Omni Flash models to work directly with audio, rather than a fixed ASR-then-LLM pipeline. The current build uses Qwen cloud processing for voice input and Voice Agent. Audio and the context you allow are sent to your selected region. History, Memory, and optional recordings are saved in the app’s Application Support folder on your Mac; your API key is stored in macOS Keychain. Model use may incur charges.
Download the signed and notarized Mac app on the download page. The interactive demo on the Chinese home page uses preset text and does not access the microphone or call a model.
