What's new in SayWrite
SayWrite updates itself. Here's what changed in each version, newest first.
· Latest
0.5.0
Try SayWrite free for 7 days, no card and no account. The trial starts the first time you open the app; when it ends, buy SayWrite to keep dictating ($5 a month or $30 a year). Your history, dictionary and settings stay put.
0.4.9
When you hover a dictation to see the full text, the box is now only as tall as the text (up to 8 lines, then it scrolls), instead of a big empty box.\nThe preview no longer expands just because it popped up under your mouse.
0.4.8
The preview pill no longer expands just because it popped up under your mouse. Move the mouse onto it to see the full text, or click it to edit.
0.4.7
New: Send Feedback (menu bar right-click, Help menu, or Settings › Privacy). Tell us about bugs and ideas straight from the app. Nothing is sent until you click Send, and you can see exactly what's included.\nSmall fixes and polish.
0.4.6
SayWrite 0.4.6: Subscription licenses now check in with saywrite.app about once a week (sending only the license), so removing a Mac from your account takes effect within days. Dictation still never needs the internet.
0.4.5
SayWrite 0.4.5: The menu bar icon now starts on the right side of the menu bar, so it isn't hidden behind the MacBook camera notch on crowded menu bars (⌘-drag it anywhere you like). The text preview after dictating is a little shorter.
0.4.4
SayWrite 0.4.4: New menu bar icon: the SayWrite squiggle (with a red dot while you dictate) instead of a microphone, so it no longer doubles up with macOS's microphone indicator. Free trials now start on saywrite.app (14 days free, then your plan; you're reminded before any charge). If you're already in a trial or subscribed, nothing changes. The text preview after dictating now stays a little shorter.
0.4.3
SayWrite 0.4.3: Sign in with your email instead of a license key: Settings › License › Sign in with email, then click the link. A subscription works on 2 Macs; see and manage your Macs at saywrite.app/account. The result pill now expands when you hover and opens the editor when you click it (no more flicker). Cleaner text fields throughout.
0.4.2
SayWrite 0.4.2: Per-app templates: write your own prompt with an example of the exact output you want, test it in the editor, and assign it to any app (or everywhere else). Three starter templates included. Redesigned AI page with engine cards for Apple Intelligence, Ollama and LM Studio, one-click Start Server for LM Studio, and simpler routing. Open-source credits now in About SayWrite.
0.4.1
SayWrite 0.4.1: the AI page now shows only the engines your Mac actually has. Apple Intelligence is listed first; Ollama and LM Studio appear grayed out with a download link if they aren't installed, and their server and model settings only show up once they are.
0.4.0
SayWrite 0.4.0: now signed and notarized by Apple (opens without warnings). New: Per-App Polish page with custom instructions per app, a default for everywhere else, and suggestions. Subscriptions: 14-day free trial, then $5/month or $30/year. Result pill now expands on click instead of hover. After updating, re-enable SayWrite in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Accessibility (macOS asks once because the app is now signed with a Developer ID).
0.3.1
Subtler result pill: a small check and your text, on screen for 4 seconds. Hover it to see the full text and copy it. Buttons show icons when space is tight instead of cut-off labels.
0.3.0
Speakeasy is now SayWrite: new name, new icon, and a new look. New Appearance settings: Match System, Studio (dark), Studio Light, and High Contrast, all checked against WCAG AA. Your settings and history carry over.
0.2.0
First public build with auto-updates. Hold Fn to dictate; tap Space while holding to Polish with local AI. Includes per-app auto-polish, dictionary suggestions, Edit Last Dictation, and the new Speakeasy look.
