Streva

What Streva does

Streva, Inc. is a Delaware-incorporated, privately held software company headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, that builds a native macOS application for real-time AI-powered voice dictation, translation, and text transformation. The product captures spoken language and converts it into natural, contextually formatted writing directly inside any active application on a user's Mac, removing the copy-paste step normally required by standalone translation tools. It supports 100+ languages, uses "latest" speech recognition models for audio-to-text conversion, and applies large language models to interpret intent and tone, perform inline translation, and reformat output to suit the target application (e.g., a Slack message versus an email versus a code comment).

The platform overlays the user's entire desktop and adapts formatting based on active application and, where enabled, browser tab or window metadata. A Private Mode is the default (audio and text are processed only to fulfill a request and not retained), with an opt-in Contribute Mode for anonymized usage data. Users can personalize vocabulary via a custom dictionary.

The business model is product-led and self-serve: a free Basic tier caps usage at 2,000 words per week, while a Pro subscription is offered at $15/month or $120/year for unlimited dictation, prioritized feature requests, and early access to new features. Streva is distributed exclusively through direct download from its website and is currently macOS-only, with a Windows version on a public waitlist and iOS on the roadmap. The firm has no disclosed funding, headcount of 1-10, and no enterprise customer logos, and it currently relies on organic social channels plus Product Hunt for top-of-funnel acquisition. Primary customer segments are multilingual professionals, developers and technical users, healthcare providers, and researchers and academics.

Core offering

Streva is a native macOS application that provides real-time AI-powered voice dictation, transcription, and translation across 100+ languages. It runs as a floating overlay that injects output directly into the user's active application (Slack, Gmail, VSCode, Zoom, Notion, etc.), eliminating copy-paste and context switching. The product is offered as a free tier (2,000 words per week) and a Pro subscription ($15/month or $120/year) with unlimited dictation, prioritized feature requests, and early access.

Product overview

Streva is a single unified product — an AI-powered real-time translation and dictation application for macOS. The product consists of two tiers: Streva Basic (free) offering 2,000 words per week with essential translation and transcription features, and Streva Pro ($15/month or $120/year) adding unlimited dictation, prioritized feature requests, and early access to new features. Both tiers leverage the same core engine supporting 100+ languages, intent-driven speech recognition, and contextual formatting that adapts output to any target application. The product works as a floating overlay across all macOS applications, enabling users to dictate, transform, or translate content directly into their preferred apps without copy/paste. A Windows version is in development with a waitlist open; iOS support is on the roadmap.

Direct peers

• Wispr Flow: Wispr Flow is a desktop voice-to-text dictation tool with AI editing and inline text injection across applications. Most direct competitor — same voice-input-into-any-app workflow, same macOS-first consumer PLG motion, same Pro subscription pricing model.
• Otter.ai: Otter.ai provides AI-powered meeting transcription, summaries, and voice notes for individuals and teams. Closely comparable on speech-to-text core AI, multi-platform support (web/mobile/meeting integrations), and freemium-to-Pro SaaS monetization targeting professionals.
• DeepL: DeepL is a flagship AI translation product with desktop and keyboard-integrated offerings for Windows/macOS. Comparable on the translation quality and 100+ language coverage claims, plus freemium/Pro subscription; named by Streva customers as the benchmark Streva aims to beat.
• MacWhisper: MacWhisper is a native macOS app that transcribes audio via OpenAI Whisper, with Pro tiers for unlimited transcription. Closely matches Streva on platform (macOS-native), target user (transcription on Mac), business model (freemium subscription), and core capability (AI speech-to-text).
• Trint: Trint is an AI transcription and translation platform with editable transcripts and multilingual workflows for journalists, researchers, and enterprise teams. Comparable on the combined transcription + translation value proposition targeting professionals.

Broad incumbents

• Google Translate: Google Translate is the dominant free translation product across web, iOS, and Android, with broad language coverage and integration across Google Workspace. Explicitly named by Streva customers as the comparison point; represents the free bundled alternative Streva competes against on translation.
• Apple Dictation: Apple's built-in macOS Dictation and iOS Live Transcription/Voice Control ship free with every Apple device. Same platform (Mac) and same core capability (voice-to-text input) — directly threatens Streva's anchor market with no incremental cost to users.
• Microsoft Copilot / Translator: Microsoft Translator and Copilot integrate voice dictation, translation, and meeting transcription across Windows and Microsoft 365. Comparable on the integrated translation/transcription stack, with the reach advantage of being bundled into enterprise Windows estates — and the competitor Streva must match when its Windows version ships.

Emerging players

• Whisper (OpenAI, open source): OpenAI's Whisper is an open-source speech recognition model widely used to build desktop transcription apps (including MacWhisper). Underlies the speech-to-text capability that Streva's product depends on; represents the commoditizing foundation that could enable rapid competitor clone products.
• ElevenLabs: ElevenLabs provides AI dubbing and voice translation for multilingual content workflows, with API and consumer products. Comparable on the AI-powered multilingual voice/translation frontier, overlapping with Streva's translation use case for creators and professionals producing multilingual outputs.
