Writing cleanup
The sentence, not the stumble.
English cleanup can drop fillers, finish punctuation, and keep the meaning. “Probably” stays.

Fillers
“Uh” and “um” can come out. “Probably” and “actually” stay.
Punctuation
A line that reads as a sentence can gain a capital and a closing mark.
Self-correction

Your style
Conservative, Natural, Professional, Casual, Concise, or Developer. Cleanup does not change the facts.
Where you work
Your voice follows the cursor.
Just Say is a voice layer for the Mac. It types into the app you already have open. If it cannot find a text field, it says so.

Screen context
A region you choose.
Screen context stays off until you turn it on. While you dictate, you select a region. Just Say keeps that image on your computer, with the dictation. Text in the image is read on the device. It is not treated as words you spoke, and it is not uploaded.
Cancel discards a capture that is still in progress. Dictation still inserts if capture fails.

The image stays with this dictation.
Spoken words

Read from the image
Kept on your computer, separate from speech.
Four languages

Just Say
On your computer
After the model is on disk, transcription stays here. Just Say does not send audio or text to a cloud speech service.
When the network is used
Internet is for a model download or repair you choose, installer updates from this site, and a daily check for a newer version (it sends nothing about you; turn it off in Settings → About). The download is the model file, not your transcript.
What stays here
History, dictionary, styles, notes, and settings live in ~/Library/Application Support/ShabdaTaraFlutter/ on a Mac, or %LOCALAPPDATA%\ShabdaTaraFlutter on Windows. There is no required account and no API key.
Workflows
Built for how you work.
Writing
Draft faster than you type
Speak the thought. English cleanup and a style you choose finish the sentence without changing the facts.
Coding
Keep technical words intact
Developer style can format spoken case names and symbols. It does not write the program for you.
Messaging
Reply without leaving the app
The words land at the cursor in the app you already have open. Just Say does not open a chat.
Notes
Keep a local trail
History and notes stay on your computer. Search, copy, or delete them. Empty history stays empty.
The app
A menu-bar app, not a chat window.
Just Say lives in the menu bar. Home, History, Dictionary, Styles, Language, and Settings are there when you need them. The listening bar stays on screen while you speak.
Listening
Hold Left Option or Left Alt. Speak. Release.
Voice bar
Listening stays in view.
Cancel inserts nothing. Confirm finishes, the same as letting go of the shortcut. Escape cancels too.

Questions
What is Just Say?
A menu-bar app for Mac. Hold a shortcut, speak, and Just Say transcribes on your Mac, cleans English locally, and inserts the text where you were already typing. It does not open a chat.
Is my voice processed locally?
Transcription runs on the Mac. English uses a local Parakeet model, then Apple’s on-device English speech if needed. German, Hindi, and Russian use a local Whisper model after you install it. Just Say does not send dictation audio or transcripts to a cloud speech service.
Does Just Say work offline?
After the speech model you need is already on disk, dictation does not require a network. Internet is used when you choose to download or repair a model. That transfer is the model file, not your transcript. Installer updates are downloaded from this site. Once a day the app also asks GitHub whether a newer version is out. Nothing about you, your voice, or your text is sent, and you can turn it off in Settings → About.
Which languages are supported?
English, German, Hindi, and Russian. You pick one in Settings. Just Say transcribes that language. It does not translate. German, Hindi, and Russian need the multilingual model from Settings → Models. Automatic language detection is not available.
Does Just Say work on Windows?
Yes. Download JustSay-Setup.exe from this site and run it. Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. Mac uses JustSay-macOS.dmg.
What permissions does it need?
Microphone, to hear you. Accessibility, to type into other apps. Screen Recording is optional and is used only when you select a region. Speech Recognition is used only if English dictation uses Apple’s on-device engine.
Where are recordings and transcripts stored?
On your computer: ~/Library/Application Support/ShabdaTaraFlutter/ on a Mac, %LOCALAPPDATA%\ShabdaTaraFlutter on Windows. Temporary dictation audio is deleted after transcription unless you turn on Keep audio files. History, notes, dictionary, styles, and screenshots stay in that folder. Just Say does not upload them.
