Frequently asked questions

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Download SayWrite and the 7-day free trial starts when you open it: every feature, no card, no account, and SayWrite doesn't contact our servers for it. When it ends, nothing is charged; SayWrite asks you to buy it to keep dictating, and your history, dictionary and settings stay on your Mac.

When am I charged?

When you buy. Pick monthly or yearly on this page and pay at Stripe's checkout: you're charged $5 or $30 today, tax included, and the subscription renews automatically until you cancel. Yearly subscribers get a reminder email before each renewal.

I'm already trying SayWrite. How do I buy it?

Buy a plan on this page. After checkout, click Open in SayWrite on the confirmation page and confirm, or open SayWrite › Settings › License and sign in with the email you used at checkout. Your history, dictionary and settings carry over.

What's the difference between monthly and yearly?

Only the price and billing period. Both plans include unlimited dictation, AI Polish, file transcription and updates. Yearly is $30, half of what twelve months at $5 would cost.

How do I cancel?

Anytime, through Stripe's secure billing portal. Sign in to your account at saywrite.app/account with your email (we'll email you a sign-in link), or click Manage Subscription in SayWrite › Settings › License. You can cancel, switch plans or update your card there. After you cancel, SayWrite keeps working until the end of the period you've paid for, and you won't be charged again.

Is AI Polish included, and will it work on my Mac?

AI Polish is included in both plans at no extra cost. Plain dictation works on any Apple silicon Mac with macOS 15 or later. AI Polish is optional and needs one local AI engine: Apple Intelligence's on-device model (macOS 26 with Apple Intelligence turned on) or your own Ollama or LM Studio model. Try both during the free trial before you buy.

Can I use SayWrite on more than one Mac?

Yes, on up to 2 Macs at a time, like a laptop and a desktop. To turn it on, open SayWrite › Settings › License on each Mac and sign in with your email. To swap in a new Mac, remove an old one in your account at saywrite.app/account, or replace it when you turn SayWrite on. For a third Mac at the same time, get another subscription. The free trial runs on each Mac you install it on.

I have a code. How do I use it?

Enter it in the Have a code? box on this page and click Redeem. A free code skips the card entirely. A discount code is applied right away: you're charged the lower price today, and the subscription renews at the regular price after the discounted period. You can cancel anytime.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. You get a full refund on request for any payment within 14 days of it, including your first payment and every renewal. Email support@saywrite.app from the address you used at checkout. No reason needed.

Do I need an account?

Not for the free trial. When you buy, the email you use at Stripe's checkout is your account, with no password: to turn SayWrite on or manage your subscription, we email you a sign-in link. SayWrite checks its license on your Mac.

Is there a usage limit?

No. There's no word limit, no minutes cap and no per-use AI charge. Speech recognition and AI Polish run on your Mac, so there are no cloud costs to pass on to you.

Does paying change what leaves my Mac?

No. SayWrite still never uploads your voice or your text. Checkout happens on Stripe's website. Turning SayWrite on for a Mac sends saywrite.app your license key or sign-in link, a random install ID, the Mac's model and its name, and the license check sends only the license key, about once a week (daily near expiry). Never anything you say or write. Gift keys never connect.

How is it cheaper than Wispr Flow?

Wispr Flow Pro is $12 a month billed annually, $144 a year per user, as of September 29, 2026. SayWrite is $30 a year, less than a quarter of that, because it doesn't pay for cloud servers: the work happens on your Mac.
