Warid is a tiny desktop app that records your voice and turns it into clean Arabic or English text in seconds — using your own free Google Gemini key. Press Ctrl + Shift + R anywhere on your computer.
Warid is small, sharp, and stays out of your way. Everything happens through one keyboard shortcut.
Press Ctrl+Shift+R anywhere — even while another app is focused — and start dictating.
Full RTL support and code-switching. Talk in both languages in the same sentence — Warid handles it.
Transcribe, translate, polish, format emails, write code — each template with its own model and hotkey.
Audio goes straight from your machine to Google. No middleman, no analytics, no telemetry.
Every transcription is saved to a local SQLite database. Search the full text instantly.
Track total words, sessions, time saved, effective WPM, streaks, and milestone progress — all stored locally.
No accounts to create. No subscription. No data leaves your machine except the audio you choose to send.
Sign in with any Google account at Google AI Studio and copy your API key. The free tier covers most users entirely.
Open AI StudioHit Ctrl + Shift + R in any app — a tiny pill appears at the top of your screen. Pause, resume, or stop when done.
Your transcription streams in, gets auto-copied to your clipboard, and is saved to local history. Paste it anywhere.
Every screen is rendered in real HTML and CSS — exactly what you'll see after you install it.
A single circular button. Press it or use the hotkey. Output streams into the left panel while a pulse indicator and live waveform show that Warid is listening.
Warid quietly counts every word you transcribe. A heatmap shows your active days, a progress bar tracks the next milestone, and a top-words list reveals what you actually talk about.
Make Warid do more than transcribe. Each template carries its own prompt, output language, model, and global hotkey — so the same voice clip can become a polished email or formatted code.
Your Gemini key is stored in the OS keychain. Pick a model, change the language, switch theme, decide what to auto-copy — and you're done.
Free, open-source, ~10 MB. Drop in your Gemini API key and you're ready.
