Yap: The VR Dictation Keyboard

Yap is a speech-to-text application built specifically for VR. It replaces clunky virtual keyboards with fast, natural voice dictation that works in any PC application while you are in VR.

Key Features

• Real-time speech recognition designed for VR use
• Two performance modes optimized for mid-range and low-end systems
• Controller-accessible keybinds for Copy, Paste, Select, Enter, and Delete
• Works across all PC applications
• VR overlay interface accessible directly from your controllers
• High-accuracy voice recognition
• Background operation that does not interrupt gameplay or immersion
• Optional text translation supporting 40+ languages

How It Works

Yap runs as a SteamVR overlay and starts automatically with SteamVR. To dictate, hold Trigger + B on your controller and speak naturally. Your speech is instantly converted into text and typed into the currently focused application, with optional translation applied in real time.

Replace your virtual keyboard with your voice!
