Arabic voice to text, in the Arabic you actually speak

Most speech to text treats Arabic as one language. It is not. Sawti understands the Arabic people really speak, and lets you decide what happens to it on the way to the page.

Two ways to write down what you said

  1. Literal Dictation Your words, in your dialect, exactly as you said them. Sawti removes the stumbles and filler, fixes spelling and punctuation, and changes nothing else. An Egyptian sentence stays Egyptian.
  2. Smart Speak in any dialect and get polished Modern Standard Arabic, ready for an article, a post or a report.

Literal: the dialect survives

You say, in Arabic:

أ أنا عايز أقولك إن الاجتماع بتاع بكرة اتأجل يعني هنتقابل يوم الحد بدل السبت

Sawti types:

أنا عايز أقولك إن الاجتماع بتاع بكرة اتأجل. هنتقابل يوم الحد بدل السبت.

Smart: the same kind of speech, ready to publish

You say, in Arabic:

اليوم كنت رايح عالشغل وشفت زحمة مو طبيعية، فقلت خليني أكتب عن مشكلة المواصلات بمدينتنا

Sawti types:

اليوم كنت متوجّهًا إلى عملي، فرأيت ازدحامًا خانقًا، فقرّرت أن أكتب عن مشكلة المواصلات في مدينتنا.

Made for real recordings

A single recording can run up to ten minutes, which covers a voice note, a section of an interview, or the first draft of a chapter. Names and specialist terms you add to your personal dictionary are spelled the way you want them.

Your audio is sent once, transcribed and discarded. The text is saved on your own device, where a crash or an update cannot lose it.

Questions people ask

Which dialects are supported?

Egyptian, Gulf, Levantine, Iraqi, Maghrebi and Modern Standard Arabic.

Can it transcribe an audio file I already have?

Not today. Sawti transcribes what you say into your microphone.

Does it work if I mix in English words?

Yes. Speak Arabic, English or a mix, whatever comes naturally.

Where does the text go?

On a computer, straight into the app your cursor is in. On a phone, into whatever field you are typing in, because Sawti is a keyboard.
