Because this installer is not yet code-signed, Windows SmartScreen may show a blue “Windows protected your PC” box. That is expected for unsigned software: click More info → Run anyway. You can verify the file with its SHA-256 checksum above.

What SaySo needs, and why

Microphone permission — to hear you while you hold the talk key.
Accessibility permission (Mac) — to type text at your cursor and to detect your talk key while other apps are focused. Windows uses a standard keyboard hook for the same purpose.
A global talk key — hold it (default: Right Option ⌥ on Mac, Caps Lock on Windows) and SaySo listens; release and your words are typed. You can pick any key in Settings, and double-tap to lock hands-free.
Your own API keys — Deepgram (required, speech-to-text; about 30¢ per hour of actual CONTINUOUS talking — billed only while the talk key is held — with free credit for new accounts) and Groq (optional, AI cleanup; free tier with published limits). Billed by those providers to your accounts, at their rates — SaySo adds no markup. Full costs on the BYOK page.
An internet connection while dictating — there is no offline mode.

Install

Mac

Open SaySo-mac.dmg and drag SaySo into Applications.
Launch SaySo from Applications. It opens without warnings — the app is signed and notarized by Apple.
Follow the built-in setup: paste your license key, allow Microphone and Accessibility when asked, add your API keys (the key guide shows every click), and try your first dictation.

Windows

Run SaySo-windows.exe. If SmartScreen appears, click More info → Run anyway (see the note above).
Follow the installer, then launch SaySo.
Same built-in setup: license key, API keys, first dictation.

Uninstall

Mac

Quit SaySo: menu-bar icon → Quit.
Drag SaySo from Applications to the Trash.

Windows

Quit SaySo from its tray icon.
Settings → Apps → Installed apps → SaySo → Uninstall.

Removing your data too (optional)

Uninstalling removes the application but deliberately leaves your data, in case you reinstall. To erase everything:

History, settings & dictionary — Mac: in Finder press ⌘⇧G and go to ~/Library/Application Support/com.sayso.app, then delete that folder. Windows: delete the com.sayso.app folder inside %APPDATA%.
API keys & license — Mac: open Keychain Access, search com.sayso.app, and delete the entries. Windows: Control Panel → Credential Manager → Windows Credentials → remove the com.sayso.app entries.

Your Deepgram and Groq accounts are yours and are not affected by any of this. To move SaySo to a new computer instead, deactivate the license in Settings first — one license covers two devices.
