Speak the way you actually speak.

Telugu. Hindi. English. Or all three moving through the same thought. As Told keeps each language in its own script and puts the words back into the note where you were writing.

Telugu

రేపు అమ్మకి ఫోన్ చేయాలి. చాలా రోజులైంది సరిగ్గా మాట్లాడి. సాయంత్రం పని అయిపోయాక మర్చిపోకుండా చేయాలి.

A normal thought, written back in Telugu — not converted into Roman letters.

Five ways of speaking. One note.

In the note

Your voice lands where your cursor is.

Start typing. Stop halfway through. Tap the mic and say the rest — your words appear right where you left off, as ordinary, editable text.

TypedAlaska trip idea

Then spokenనాకు Alaska trip గురించి ఒక idea వచ్చింది. Maybe మనం Anchorage లో whole week stay చేయకుండా, Seward లో two nights stay చేస్తే better ఉంటుంది.

No separate transcript screen, no voice-note inbox, no second place to manage what you said. It is still one note.

A note in As Told titled Alaska trip idea: the typed title, then a spoken paragraph transcribed verbatim, moving between Telugu and English exactly as it was said.
Fidelity

The mix stays the mix.

If you say something in Telugu, it should not quietly come back in English. And if you switch to English for three words and then back, those three words are not a reason to rewrite the sentence.

What you said

రేపు office కి రావడం కుదరదు. Maybe afternoon call లో join అవుతాను.

Not this

I won’t be able to come to the office tomorrow. Maybe I’ll join the afternoon call.

The second version carries roughly the same meaning. But it isn’t what you said.

Punctuation, not polishing.

Speech needs a little structure when it becomes text. As Told supplies that much and stops.

It may add

  • Punctuation
  • Capitalization
  • Sentence boundaries
  • Clear paragraph breaks

It does not

  • Correct your grammar
  • Paraphrase your sentences
  • Summarize your thought
  • Translate what you said
  • Make casual speech more formal

यार आज बिल्कुल mood नहीं है.

The goal is not “I don’t feel like doing anything today.” The goal is to keep your sentence.

Say it however it comes.

Write it. Say it. Keep it.
