Wherever you can type,
you can speak.

Press. Speak. It’s written. Dictate in your apps, with local processing on your Mac.

01 / PRESS

The signal opens.

Hold your shortcut. The menu bar icon and Voice Bar move together from idle to listening.

02 / SPEAK

Talk without switching apps.

The waveform confirms capture. The target app and Local route remain visible.

03 / TRANSFORM

Give words the right shape.

List, email, message, correction or temporary mode: text commands stay explicit and reversible.

04 / ACT

Text lands. No surprise.

Pressay verifies the target, inserts, confirms, then returns to idle. Every external route stays opt-in.

ROUTES / EXPLICIT BY DESIGN

One voice. One validated route.

The Voice Bar shows where processing happens before it starts. Local is always the starting point.

Speak freely. Pressay keeps your tone, not your hesitation.

Shall we lock this in tomorrow morning?
MODES / OUTPUT

Your voice stays yours. Its shape adapts.

Faithful keeps your words. Clean removes hesitation. Message, Email, Prompt, Commit or Ticket handle the format when it matters.

AI that shows its hands.

Before cloud processing, Pressay shows every source, character count and authorized payload. Secure fields are rejected before the microphone even opens.

FAQ / NO FINE PRINT

Frequently asked questions

Does Pressay send my voice to its own servers?

Not with the currently published route: the model stays on your Mac.

Why does it need Accessibility?

The Direct edition uses it to prove the target and insert text. The App Store Companion remains copy-only.

What happens to my clipboard?

After a successful insertion, Pressay restores every item and format that existed before dictation. A concurrent copy from you always wins.

Is Cloud required?

No. Local dictation works offline, without an account or quota.

PRESS / SAY

Speak.
The keyboard follows.

Your voice. Your target. Your control.
