Open the original- What it measures
- The page compares SayIt's three recognition modes. Its FAQ answers 'Is it free?' with 'Yes. SayIt is free and open source, with no account to create.' The app is for Windows 10 and 11.
- What it does not show
- The page gives no dollar figure: 'Free' is recorded as zero US dollars. Cloud API mode is not free in the sense that you pay your own provider, and the page states no SayIt price for it, so it is not a row here.
