Only Saytomo

Trust is the feature.

For legal work, the question is never just "can it write?" — it's "will it keep my words, and keep them in confidence?" Here is exactly how Saytomo answers that.

Faithful by default

The Dictate key is reductive only — it removes the "um"s and false starts and nothing else. It never paraphrases, never adds a word, never translates. Your phrasing is your phrasing.

Sentinel-safe replace

When you ask Ask to redline a selection, it replaces your clause only on an explicit signal. If the model is even slightly unsure, it degrades to an answer instead — it never overwrites a selection on a guess.

Ask, document untouched

Ask a question about a clause — its risk, its meaning, what a term of art covers — and the answer streams into a floating panel beside your work. Your document is never modified.

Names spelled right

Add party names, case captions, and terms of art to your personal dictionary once. Saytomo snaps spoken words to them with an exact, whole-word match — the details a generic model mangles.

Confidential handling

Audio is processed in the moment and never stored. Transcripts aren't retained on our servers, nothing is used to train models, and the selected text you send with an Ask is used only for that one request. Every subprocessor is disclosed publicly.

The honest line

Saytomo is not HIPAA-eligible and not SOC 2 certified. It is a drafting tool, not a compliance product, and not a substitute for professional review. You remain responsible for reviewing everything it produces.

What's at stake

In a brief, a small slip is not small.

A wrong word

"Shall" for "may," a misspelled party name — a tool that "improves" your phrasing can quietly change its meaning.

An altered clause

An assistant that overwrites your selection "to help" can destroy carefully negotiated language on a single guess.

A leaked draft

A privileged passage stored on a vendor's server, or quietly used to train a model, is a confidentiality problem you can't take back.

A matter, scene by scene

One keypress, six moments.

Scroll through a working session — watch the right key step in at each turn, and watch what it never touches.

The indemnity is uncapped ("without limitation") and the 30-day cure is tight. Consider a liability ceiling and a longer notice window.

Dictate · dictionary

Dictate the brief

Speak the statement of facts at the speed you think it. Fillers drop away; your exact words stay. Party names, case captions, and terms of art snap to your personal dictionary — spelled right, every time, nothing added.

Ask · REPLACE

Tighten a clause

Select the clause, press Ask, and say "tighten this." The replacement lands in place — but only on an explicit signal. If the request is even slightly ambiguous, it degrades to an answer instead. It never destroys your selection on a guess.

Ask · ANSWER

Ask the risk

Select a clause and ask "what's the risk to our client here?" A focused answer streams into a floating panel beside your document — Copy, Insert, or Close. Your text is never touched; this is a read, not an edit.

Ask · ANSWER

Summarize a passage

Highlight pages of deposition or a long recital and ask for the gist. The summary appears in the panel, grounded in exactly what you selected — again, leaving the source document untouched.

Translate

A cross-language note

A client speaks in a mix of Chinese and English. Press Translate and turn it into clean English for the file in one step — and party names, brands, and dictionary terms are preserved, not translated.

Confidential

Handled in confidence

Through all of it: audio is processed and discarded, transcripts aren't retained on our servers, nothing trains a model, and only the text you deliberately send with an Ask leaves the device. Every subprocessor is disclosed publicly.

Why it fits the work

Built for precise writing.

FASTER

Speaking runs near 220 wpm; typing crawls at ~45.* Get the brief down at the speed you argue it.

Works in every app

Text lands at your cursor in your word processor, email, PDF reader, and the browser — wherever you draft. macOS 13+.

40+ languages

Dictate or translate across 40+ languages, with Simplified ⇄ Traditional Chinese and faithful code-switching for bilingual practice.

Polish, on your terms

Opt-in Polish turns a rough spoken memo into clean prose — keeping your claims and facts exactly, never inventing, never translating.

* Speed figures are estimates of speaking vs. typing throughput; your mileage will vary.

Works where you work

Your word processor, email, and PDF reader.

…and any other Mac app with a text field — including your document management system and PDF reader. macOS 13+.

The numbers

Faster in, word for word out.

Speaking is roughly five times faster than typing — but the number that matters most to a brief is the one on the right: the words you said equal the words you keep.

* An estimate of spoken vs. typed throughput; your mileage will vary. The faithfulness guarantee, however, is not an estimate — the Dictate path adds nothing.

The Dictate path is reductive only. Fillers come out; your words, claims, and meaning stay exactly as said.

Questions from counsel

The short, honest answers.

Is my client data stored, or used to train models?
No. Audio is processed in the moment and never stored. Transcripts aren't retained on our servers, and nothing you dictate or send is used to train a model. When you use Ask on a selection, only that selected text is sent for that one request — nothing is read passively or in the background. Every subprocessor that ever sees data is listed on the privacy page.
Is it faithful — will it change my wording?
The default Dictate path is reductive only: it removes fillers, false starts, and repetitions, and does nothing else. It never paraphrases, never adds a word, and never translates. "Shall" stays "shall." Generative behavior — Polish, Translate, an Ask rewrite — only happens when you deliberately press its own key, and even Polish keeps your claims and facts exactly.
Can it safely replace or redline a selection?
Yes, and it is deliberately conservative about it. An Ask command replaces your selection only when the model emits an explicit signal that it intends a replacement. If that signal is missing or unclear, the result is shown as an answer in the panel instead — your selection is left exactly as it was. It never overwrites carefully negotiated language on a guess.
Is it HIPAA-compliant or SOC 2 certified?
No — and we will not imply otherwise. Saytomo is not HIPAA-eligible and is not SOC 2 certified. It is a drafting and dictation tool, not a compliance product, and it is not a substitute for professional review or for your firm's own confidentiality and conflicts obligations. Do not use it for protected health information, and treat its output as a draft: you remain responsible for reviewing everything it produces. Our privacy commitments and the full subprocessor list are on the privacy page.
Does it translate while preserving names?
Yes. The Translate key dictates and translates in one step across 40+ languages, and party names, brand names, and the terms in your personal dictionary are preserved in their conventional written form, not translated. Input that is already in the target language is cleaned, not paraphrased. It also handles code-switching faithfully, so a mixed-language client note keeps each word in the language it was spoken.
Is there a free plan?
Yes — 2,000 words a week on a rolling 7-day window, no credit card, free forever. If you want no weekly limit and unlimited assistant keys, Pro is $13/month (or $11/month billed annually). macOS 13+, Apple Silicon and Intel. See full details on the pricing page.
