Is Szept worth running as a client service?

The evidence supports Szept as a lightweight, pay-once Mac utility for dictation, AI cleanup, screenshot annotation, screen recording, and agent handoff, with full Swift source code. What remains unknown is the agency's own labor rate, client price, and Soniox usage volume, so no ROI can be modeled from vendor pricing alone.

An agency-fit judgement for reselling this service. It is separate from the tool description on the decision record.
