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.

What you say

“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.”

What Silu writes

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.

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.
