Built for Arabic speakers.
Live in Arabic. Work in a world that runs on English.
Sawti is a voice app for people who think in Arabic but have to use English tools: AI assistants, work software, code. Speak the way you actually talk, and Sawti gives you clean, professional English to use anywhere. When the answers come back in English, even dense technical English, Sawti turns them into simple, clear Arabic that anyone can understand. No English needed, no tech background needed.
Free for a week, about half an hour of speaking included. Windows, Mac, Android, iPhone & iPad.
A bridge that works both ways.
Going out: clean English, in your voice
Speak the way you actually talk, dialect and all, and Sawti drops clean, professional English straight into Mail, Slack, Claude, or wherever your cursor is. Nothing to copy, nowhere to paste.
Fast enough to keep your thought
Press the key again and the text appears in one to three seconds, quick enough that you never lose the sentence you were about to say next.
Six Arabic dialects, not just the textbook one
Formal Arabic lands cold with people who speak Egyptian, Gulf, or Levantine. Pick the dialect that matches how the people around you actually talk.
Your voice doesn’t stick around
Audio is sent once, transcribed, then discarded. It is never stored and never used to train anything, so there is nothing about your voice left to leak.
Five voice modes, one hotkey.
Same hotkey, a different mind behind each mode. Five turn the way you talk into the text you need. The sixth brings the English world back to you in clear Arabic.
Literal Dictation (Word for word)
Your exact words, cleaned up, in your own dialect. Nothing reworded. For interviews, voice notes, and anything you need kept as you said it.
Smart (Polished Arabic)
Speak in any dialect and get back polished Modern Standard Arabic, ready for the article, the thread, or the post. Talk the way you talk; publish the way you mean to.
Casual English (Speak Arabic, get everyday English)
A colleague messages you in English. Say your reply in Arabic and get the natural, everyday English you would have texted, without switching keyboards or hunting for words.
Formal English (Speak Arabic, get business English)
The email to your boss, your client, or a recruiter has to read professional. Speak it in Arabic and get business English that reads like a native professional wrote it.
Vibe Code (Speak Arabic, get a clean prompt)
AI coding tools only really obey precise technical English. Describe the build in plain, casual Arabic and get the exact English prompt the tool needs, so a missing word never shuts you out of your own field.
Read-back (English back in clear Arabic)
We translate what it means, not just the words. If a tool says it “couldn’t find the hero on your page,” Sawti won’t hand back a baffling “couldn’t find the warrior.” It tells you, in plain Arabic, that it couldn’t find the main banner at the top of your page. Select any English text and get it back in Modern Standard Arabic or a dialect of your choice.
Press. Speak. Press again.
- Press the hotkey Right Option to dictate, Right Command to translate English you’ve selected. Both keys are remappable.
- Talk into your device A small waveform floats up so you can see Sawti is hearing you. Speak Arabic, English, or a mix — whatever comes naturally.
- Press again Sawti transcribes, applies the mode you chose, and pastes the result into whatever app your cursor was in.
Your voice never sticks around.
Most voice apps quietly keep your recordings — or hand you an API key you then have to guard and pay for. Sawti does neither. Your audio does one job and is gone; your transcripts stay on your device, under your control.
Questions, answered.
What exactly is Sawti?
A voice app for Arabic speakers. Press a hotkey on your computer (or tap the mic on your phone), say what you want in your own Arabic, and Sawti gives you clean text: polished Arabic, natural English, or a ready prompt. It also turns English answers back into plain Arabic.
Which devices can I use it on?
Windows, Mac, Android, and iPhone & iPad. Most people in the Arab world are on Windows, so that is where we put our first effort, and the five writing modes are the same on every platform. Read-back, which turns English into plain Arabic, is on Windows, Mac, and iPhone & iPad; it is not on Android yet.
Which Arabic dialects are supported?
Modern Standard Arabic, Gulf, Egyptian, Levantine, Maghrebi, and Iraqi. Pick the one closest to how the people around you speak, the same idea as British versus American English.
Can I change the hotkeys?
Yes. On the desktop apps, one key dictates and one reads English back in Arabic; both can be remapped in Settings if they clash with something else you use.
Does Sawti store my audio?
Never. Audio is transcribed once and discarded. Your dictation history and snippets are saved as local files on your own device, so a crash or update can’t lose them, and they never leave your machine.
Is it really Arabic-first?
Yes. Every label, button, and message is in Arabic by default, and the layout runs right to left. Prefer English? Switch it in Settings and the whole app follows.
Is Sawti free to try?
Yes. A free week, with about half an hour of speaking included, whichever runs out first. No card is needed to start. After that you choose a plan or stop, and the prices are published so there are no surprises.
