## What is Sawti?

You think in Arabic. The keyboard, the chat box, the ticket, the doc are all in English. Sawti closes that gap.

Press once and speak your everyday Arabic. Sawti gives you back clean, professional English you can paste anywhere: into Claude or ChatGPT, an email, a message, your code editor. No more fighting a right-to-left, left-to-right jumble.

It works the other way too. Select dense English text and Sawti reads it back to you in simple, everyday Arabic, explaining the technical words instead of translating them literally.

FIVE WAYS TO USE IT
- Literal Dictation: clean up exactly what you said, in the same language.
- Smart: turn spoken dialect into polished Modern Standard Arabic.
- Casual English: speak Arabic, get natural everyday English.
- Formal English: speak Arabic, get professional business English.
- Vibe Code: describe a feature or bug in Arabic, get clear developer English.

THE KEYBOARD
Install the Sawti keyboard and dictate straight into any app. Tap the mic, speak, and your words appear as text where your cursor is.

WHY FULL ACCESS
The keyboard needs "Allow Full Access" for one reason: to send your recording to our service to be transcribed. That network connection is the app's whole purpose.

PRIVACY
Your voice is sent once, transcribed, and discarded. It is not stored long-term, it is not sold, and Sawti never tracks you across other apps.

Built for Arabic speakers who live and work in English.
