Arabic voice typing, in every app you use

Typing Arabic is slow for almost everyone, and switching keyboards all day is worse. Sawti replaces the typing: press a key, say it, and the text is where you wanted it.

On a computer: one key, any app

Sawti sits quietly in the Windows tray or the Mac menu bar. Put your cursor anywhere, press the hotkey and talk. A small waveform shows that it is listening. Press the hotkey again and your words appear at the cursor, in Word, in WhatsApp Web, in a browser form, in your notes.

There is no Sawti window to switch to. The app you were working in never loses focus.

On a phone: Sawti is a keyboard

On Android and iPhone you add Sawti as a keyboard once. After that the microphone is there in every app: tap it, talk, tap again. You choose the mode on the keyboard itself.

On iPhone, Apple does not let keyboards use the microphone, so a tap on the mic switches briefly to the Sawti app to record and then brings you back with the text. On Android the keyboard records directly.

  3. Casual or Formal English Speak Arabic, type English.
  4. Vibe Code Speak Arabic, type a precise prompt for an AI coding tool.

Small things that matter every day

A personal dictionary for the names and terms you use, so they are always spelled right. Snippets: say a short trigger word and Sawti types a full block of text, such as your address or a standard reply. A history of what you dictated, stored on your device only.

Questions people ask

Do I have to hold the key while talking?

No. Press once to start and once to stop. Your hands are free in between.

Can I change the hotkey?

Yes, in Settings, on both Windows and Mac.

How fast is it?

For a normal sentence the text usually appears a second or two after you press the key the second time.

Does it work offline?

No. The audio is sent to be transcribed, then discarded, so you need a connection.
