Speech becomes text on your Mac. Saybox never sends your audio or words to us, or to anyone else.
Speak naturally.
Saybox writes.

Real-time dictation
Types as you speak.
Saybox types each word into your note while you’re still talking. There’s no recording to finish and no wait for a block of text at the end: when you stop speaking, the sentence is already there, ready to proofread.

An illustration with fictional text, not a measurement. Some dictation apps show nothing until you stop talking, then the whole passage at once. How quickly Saybox’s words appear depends on your Mac and how you speak.
- Word by word, at your cursor. Each word lands in the app you’re already using, a moment after you say it.
- Fixed in place. If Saybox hears a word better a moment later, it corrects that word and leaves the rest of the sentence alone.
- Nothing to wait for. Stop talking and the text is already in the note, ready to read over before you move on.
For everyone
Built for clinic notes. Fluent in everything else.
Saybox starts from a general English speech model and adds medical vocabulary on top. So it writes emails, messages and documents as naturally as progress notes, all on your Mac.
Private by design
Nobody else is listening.
Saybox turns speech into text on the Mac itself; the speech model is inside the app. Your audio and words never reach us, or anyone else, through Saybox: audio from Saybox Mic goes only to your own Mac. The note goes only where you type it, and that app keeps it under its own rules.
Audio or words Saybox sends over the internet. Audio is held in memory while it becomes text, and never saved.
Accounts, analytics or crash uploads. Nothing to sign in to. The only internet connection planned is a license check when Saybox starts and once a day, with no audio or text.
Is all a pairing code lives. It works once, and it’s kept out of screenshots.
Late, and audio is refused. Old dictation is never typed into whatever is open later.
After you close the Text Box, Saybox erases its text. Anything you copied out stays where you put it.
Of security events for your practice to review. Never a word of what was said.
Voice commands
Say it. It’s done.
A few short commands shape the note while you talk. Prefer to dictate every word? Turn them off in Settings.
Starts a new line.
Starts a new paragraph.
Ends the sentence. “The review period” stays a word.
Takes back the last phrase you said.
Types your prepared phrase called “normal exam”. Name your own.
Your iPhone, your mic
Walk the room. Keep the mic.
Saybox Mic turns your iPhone into a wireless microphone for your own Mac, over your local network and nothing else.
- Paired, not exposed. A one-time code, then the same six digits on both screens before a word gets through.
- Stops when you do. The microphone turns off when the iPhone locks or you switch apps.
- Never sees your text. The iPhone sends audio. The words appear only on your Mac.
- Switch windows safely. Change apps mid-dictation and the words wait in the Saybox Text Box instead of landing in the wrong place.
Straight talk about accuracy.
Speech recognition makes mistakes, and in a clinical note one wrong word can change the meaning: a drug name, a dose, “hyper” for “hypo”. Proofread every note before signing it.
Saybox is still in development. It hasn’t met its accuracy targets yet, and no version is ready for use with patient information. We’ll keep saying so until that changes.
Saybox is for dictating your own words. It isn’t built to capture conversations, so pause it while a patient or anyone else is speaking, and let people nearby know you’re dictating.
Check with your clinic’s privacy or security officer before using Saybox with patient information.
