## What is Ariya?

Press record, and your words turn into text as you speak — line by line, so a fast meeting or a long interview lands as a clean transcript you can actually work with.

• Every word is yours to keep — the transcript and the original WAV recording export cleanly and go wherever you need them.
• Reach the strongest engines at cost — plug in your own key for engines like Azure, Deepgram, Aliyun and more, and Ariya routes straight to the provider. You pay their rate; we never mark it up and never meter you by the minute. Your audio and key stay on your device and never touch our servers.
• A voice for every language — pick the right engine for Mandarin dialects, Japanese, or mixed Chinese-and-English speech, the languages English-first tools tend to skip. Turn on a live translated line where the engine supports it.
• Free to start on Apple devices — transcription runs on your iPhone, iPad or Mac, offline, with nothing leaving it; connect a cloud engine when you need longer sessions or wider language coverage.

Start free; a one-time unlock removes the per-session length cap and turns on timestamped SRT and JSON export — paid once, never a subscription.

You speak the world; Ariya takes it down.
