Speak One Language, Type Another

On-device speech translation that types directly at your cursor. No copy-paste.

seam's translation feature sits in your MacBook's notch. Press a shortcut, speak in English (or another language), and the translated text is typed wherever your cursor is. No switching apps. No pasting from a translation window. No audio sent to the cloud. The same local Whisper-based AI that powers seam's voice transcription handles translation too, so it works offline and stays private.

Why use this?

Inline Translation, No Copy-Paste

Translated text types directly at your cursor in any app. No switching to a translation window, copying the result, and pasting it back.

100% On-Device

All translation happens locally using on-device AI models. No audio or text is sent to Google, DeepL, or any external server.

Works in Any App

Compose translated emails in Mail, write in Notion, reply in Slack. If there's a text field and a cursor, seam can type into it.

Frequently asked questions

Which languages does seam's translation support? +
seam supports the same languages as its underlying Whisper-based model, including French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Japanese, Chinese, and many more. You pick the target language in settings.
Is my speech sent to any translation service? +
No. Everything runs on your Mac using local AI models. Your audio and text never leave your device. seam does not connect to Google Translate, DeepL, or any other cloud service.
How is this different from using Google Translate or DeepL? +
Those tools require you to open a separate app or browser tab, paste your text, copy the result, and paste it back into what you were writing. seam skips all of that by speaking and typing the translation directly at your cursor.
Does translation work offline? +
Yes. Because all processing is on-device, seam's translation works without an internet connection. Useful while traveling or in environments with unreliable Wi-Fi.
Is translation included in the base price? +
Yes. Translation is part of seam's $29 one-time purchase. There are no add-ons, no per-language fees, and no subscription required.
