Use case
A Mac dictation workflow for when typing hurts
RSI, tendonitis, injury recovery, or a chronic condition can make typing painful or impossible for part of the day. Sayframe replaces the keyboard for that work: press a shortcut, speak, and text lands at the cursor.
FreeOn-deviceNo account for local dictation
The keyboard-light workflow
- 1Put the cursor in Mail, Notes, a form field, Slack, or anywhere else in macOS that accepts text.
- 2Press your Sayframe shortcut once and speak. No holding a key down, no repeating yourself to fit a word cap.
- 3Text lands at the cursor. If an app blocks insertion, the transcript stays recoverable in the Library instead of disappearing.
- 4Everything you dictate is saved and searchable afterward, so nothing said while working through pain has to be said twice.
- 5Transcription runs on-device by default, which helps when your dictation is personal or medical.
Why the free tier matters here
A free tier with a word cap or a trial clock is not much use if you need dictation every day. Sayframe’s free tier includes unlimited on-device dictation with no monthly cap or trial, no account required. Pro adds Sayframe Cloud hosted transcription if you want it, but the workflow you rely on daily does not require a subscription.
