Useful review angles

Stay with the writing task

Select languages, translate, and use the result without moving to a browser dashboard.

Explore one word

Compare related words, inspect word classes and copy or speak an individual result.

Language availability is explicit

The resource assistant distinguishes installed, available and unsupported capabilities instead of silently changing the language.

A voice note on your terms

Choose the recognition locale, audio location and whether to save audio, transcription or both.

Native KeyAct translation page with explicit English and Russian language choices — Actual native UI in an illustrated menu-bar composition, not a titled application window. The translation shown is an unedited Apple Translation result. These captures were prepared during development and may differ from the released version in minor layout details. The voice-note image uses a saved transcript fixture; it is not evidence of a live microphone test.

Testing and boundaries

The sandbox App Store edition uses manual input or the clipboard, URL/HTTP actions and user-installed executable scripts. Typed shell commands and Accessibility-based selection belong to the separate full local edition. Do not describe the App Store edition as an unrestricted terminal.

No KeyAct account, advertising or usage analytics. Optional technical error reports are off by default and use Sentry when enabled. Optional online lookup contacts Wiktionary; see the privacy policy. Offline language support is not universal. Voice Note records inside KeyAct, rather than dictating into other apps.

For testing access, corrections or press questions: admin@raindigit.ie. Include the platform and version you want to test; never send private text, credentials or recordings.
