Installing SayFeather on Mac and Windows

Installing

1. 1
   Download the installer
   Use the download buttons on sayfeather.nl. The Mac version is a disk image (dmg), the Windows version an installer.
2. 2
   Install it
   On a Mac, open the dmg and drag SayFeather to Applications. On Windows, run the installer: it installs for your own account and does not ask for administrator rights.
3. 3
   Open SayFeather
   The first start opens the setup: Permissions, Speech model, AI (optional) and Try it. The next topics explain each step.

What you need

• A Mac with macOS 12 or newer, or a Windows PC.
• A microphone. The built-in one is fine.
• Internet once, to download the speech model. After that, turning your speech into text works without a connection.

Where SayFeather lives

SayFeather runs in the menu bar on a Mac and in the notification area (at the right of the taskbar) on Windows. Open Settings from there. You can have it start when you log in: look for Start when you log in (Start with Windows on Windows) under App in Settings.
