Hold to talk. Release to clipboard.
SayCopyPaste is a dictation application for Mac, Windows, and Linux that sends transcribed text directly to the system clipboard. Instead of using a floating window or requiring the user to switch between apps, the software operates from the menu bar or system tray. The user taps a designated key, speaks, and taps the key again; the transcribed words are immediately placed on the clipboard and can be pasted into any application using the standard paste command, such as Command V on Mac. On Mac, the default push-to-talk key is the Globe key. The app is developed by Bravely Studios, which also produces other utility tools including PrintScreen.ly, Terminal Tags, Diskaroo, and Sticki.ly. The primary workflow involves a hold-to-talk and release-to-clipboard interaction. While speaking, a brief recording HUD appears, and the interface disappears as soon as dictation ends. The clipboard is the sole destination for output, so no per-app configuration is needed and the text can be inserted into any field that accepts clipboard input. The software includes a learning vocabulary: if the user corrects a word once, that correction is remembered for all future transcriptions, affecting names, jargon, and acronyms. Transcription data and the custom vocabulary are stored locally on the user's Mac, and audio is used only for transcription and is not retained. From a technical standpoint, SayCopyPaste requires the user to grant microphone and input monitoring permissions during setup. The application supports native installation on Mac, Windows, and Linux, and also offers a browser-based version. After signing in with a Bravely Account, the app is ready for use in less than one minute. A free 7-day trial is available upon sign-in during the onboarding process, which requires a credit card. After the trial, the service costs USD 9.99 per month, or users can purchase an annual bundle that includes all Bravely utility applications across all platforms for USD 95.99 per year. Cancelation is available at any time.
