What is Streva?
Streva is a Mac app for voice dictation and instant translation that works wherever your cursor sits. Speak in any language and it writes natural, formatted text straight into Gmail, Slack, Notion, Zoom, or your code editor. It keeps your intent and tone while fitting the output to each app.
Top Features:
- Inline translation: speak in one language and get polished text in another.
- Context-aware formatting: adjusts phrasing so emails, chats, and notes each read naturally.
- Privacy mode: audio and transcripts are never kept or shared with anyone.
Use Cases:
