Native macOS voice input
Just talk. It's written.
Speak naturally, and Silu transcribes and polishes on the fly — then drops the finished text right where you're typing, in any app. One shortcut, and it's faster than your keyboard.
Try it free — your first 10 minutes are on us. No card required.
Messy in, clean out
You ramble. Silu writes it up.
Repetition, filler words, thinking out loud, even mixed languages — Silu straightens it out in real time and hands you text you can send as-is.
“Um… so, like, I was thinking, could we maybe push the deadline back a bit? because the design isn’t, uh, finalized yet, so — yeah, let’s just do that for now.”
Could we push the deadline back a little? The design isn’t finalized yet, so let’s keep this pace for now.
What it does
Speak once — it does four things.
Dictate in any app
Press your shortcut and talk — text appears right at your cursor. Email, chat, docs, code. No copy-paste, no switching windows.
Auto-polished
Silu drops the filler, straightens the wording, and formats as it goes — so what lands is ready to send.
Bilingual? Code-switching comes out perfectly clean.
Say it in one language, get another
Need it in English? Say it in your own language and Silu drops in a natural translation — emails, replies, cross-language work in one step.
Ask out loud
Ask a question by voice and get the answer typed right where you are — look something up, reword a line, do quick math, without leaving what you’re doing.
Works everywhere
Wherever you type, you can talk.
Silu is system-wide input, not a plug-in for one app — Gmail, Slack, Notion, your browser, your editor… anywhere on your Mac with a text field.
Native macOS · system-wide · no window-switching, no copy-paste — it lands right at your cursor.

What people say
The people who write most can’t put it down.
“I run meetings and clear my inbox by voice now. It comes out cleaner than I’d type it — I get back half a day a week.”
Product Manager · San Francisco
“I dictate replies to reviewers, then tidy up — twice as fast. Saying it in one language and getting clean English is a lifesaver.”
Postdoc Researcher · Berlin
“Haven’t touched the built-in dictation since day one. One shortcut, every app — I even write commit messages by voice.”

Privacy first
Your voice is only used to write.
Audio, processed then gone
Recordings are used only to produce your text, then not kept as a long-term archive — never used for ad profiles or sold.
Processed close to home
Handled within the EU where possible; EU users are routed to EU endpoints. Clear, traceable data flow.
We never touch your card
Payments run through Stripe. We never receive or store your full card number.
FAQ
You might be wondering
How is my voice and data handled?
Your audio is sent to speech-recognition and AI services to produce text, then returned to you; it’s processed transiently, not archived, and never used for ad profiles or sold. We collect only what’s needed to run the service — email, usage, subscription status. See our Privacy Policy.
Which Macs are supported?
macOS 14 (Sonoma) and later, on both Apple Silicon (M-series) and Intel. Silu is notarized by Apple and installs directly from our site — no App Store.
How do I cancel? Is it a hassle?
Cancel anytime in the app or the Stripe customer portal. It simply stops renewing; you keep access to the end of the period you’ve paid for. See our Refund Policy.
Does it work offline?
Silu’s real-time transcription, polishing, translation, and Q&A rely on cloud AI, so a connection is needed for the best results. Those features aren’t available offline.
Does it really handle mixed languages?
Yes — it’s a case Silu is built for. Code-switching (including mixed Chinese-English) comes out with the right spacing, punctuation, and capitalization, ready to send.
How does the free trial work?
Every account gets a one-time 10 minutes of dictation, no card required. Like it, then subscribe to Silu Pro.
Your next paragraph? Just say it.
Try it free for 10 minutes — the first time it writes what you said, you won’t go back to typing.
