Typing Should Not Hurt
Repetitive strain injuries affect millions of knowledge workers. Carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, arthritis, nerve damage, post-surgical recovery -- the causes vary, but the result is the same: typing becomes painful, slow, or impossible.
You should not have to choose between your health and your productivity. SpeakUp gives you a way to keep working without touching the keyboard for every word. Press a hotkey, speak naturally, press again. Your words appear on screen.
Not a Workaround -- A Better Way to Work
Dictation is not a compromise. For most writing tasks, speaking is three times faster than typing. Emails, messages, documents, notes -- all of these flow more naturally when spoken. Many people who start dictating for medical reasons discover they prefer it even after their condition improves.
SpeakUp is not accessibility software bolted onto an existing product. It is a dictation tool built from the ground up to be fast, accurate, and invisible. It works in every app on your Mac -- email, Slack, Word, Notion, your browser, clinical software, anything with a text field.
Accuracy You Can Rely On
Apple's built-in Dictation struggles with accents, non-native English, and European languages -- producing errors that force you back to the keyboard to correct. For someone who relies on voice input throughout the day, constant corrections are exhausting. SpeakUp's Whisper model handles diverse accents, technical terms, and multiple languages with far greater accuracy. Speak naturally, in your own voice, and get text you can actually use.
Privacy Matters Here Too
People with medical conditions often dictate sensitive content -- conversations with doctors, insurance correspondence, disability documentation, personal journal entries. This content deserves privacy.
SpeakUp processes everything on your Mac's GPU. No audio is ever sent to a server. No transcription is stored anywhere. No account means no profile linking your medical or personal information to a service. Your words stay on your device and nowhere else.
Your Condition Does Not Define Your Productivity
RSI does not mean you are less capable. It means you need a different input method. SpeakUp exists to make that transition seamless -- not with a clunky accessibility tool, but with a polished, fast, accurate dictation app that anyone would want to use.
Download it. Open it. Start speaking. Your hands can rest.
€29 once, forever. No subscription. No recurring cost adding up while you are already dealing with medical expenses.
