HOW IT WORKS
Read more
- Give it the conversation. Use the SayThis keyboard without leaving the thread, take a screenshot, or copy the message.
- Choose how you want to sound. Auto picks the voice, or choose from sixteen tones and three lengths.
- Read it and send it. SayThis puts the draft in your message box. The send button is still yours.
WHAT IT IS GOOD AT
- The text you have reread four times
- Saying no without sounding difficult

- Replying in a language you read better than you write
SIXTEEN TONES
Natural, Friendly, Confident, Professional, Casual, Funny, Flirty, Empathetic, Firm, Apologetic, Persuasive, Calm, Supportive, Direct, Warm and Enthusiastic. Or leave it on Auto and let SayThis pick.
THREE LENGTHS
Short, Normal or Detailed. "Sorry, can't" and a proper explanation are different answers, and you pick which one you are sending.
THE KEYBOARD
SayThis installs as a keyboard, so it works inside Messages, WhatsApp, Instagram, Gmail and anywhere else you type. A keyboard genuinely cannot read your conversation, so SayThis does not pretend to. Take the screenshot everyone already knows how to take, and it reads the thread from that, usually on your phone.
ANY LANGUAGE
It answers in the language the other person wrote in, or one you pin.
NOT QUITE RIGHT? CHANGE IT
Too long, make it shorter. Not the voice you wanted, change the tone. Want a different angle entirely, ask for another. It rewrites until it is the one you would have written.
WHAT IT NEVER DOES
SayThis never sends anything itself. It writes the draft, puts it in your box, and stops there. Every message is yours to read, edit and send.
PRIVACY
Your conversations are not stored. Screenshots are read and then deleted. The reply is held for five minutes so a retried request is not charged twice, and nothing else is kept. You are asked before anything is sent for processing, and you can say no. The keyboard never reads while you type, and the reply panel does not appear in password fields.
