Hi all,  
  
Few months ago I released an earlier version of my app, and more than 700 of you downloaded and provided feedback. I have been building on that feedback, and now you can use Prelto as your way of getting instant contextual answers by simply holding a key and speaking to it.



There are two modes, each bound to a separate key:

**1. Answer mode:** ask about anything on your screen: an email, an error, a clause in a doc. The answer streams in right there. Saying "reply that Thursday works" drafts the reply, shows it for review, and inserts it when you confirm. Context is captured only at the moment you press the key, and is discarded immediately.

**2. Dictation mode:** this is the boring but still useful one, hold the key, speak, and cleaned up text appears at your cursor in any app. Transcription runs fully on-device (25 languages).

  
**Problem:** when you need a quick answer about something you are reading or writing, you have to copy it or take a screenshot, then find your chatbot tab and paste it and copy it back again and so on. This is full of friction and often leads to distraction from the thing you were doing in the first place. Prelto eliminates that friction. You just hold a key and ask, and the answer appears right there, and when appropriate it gives you the option to insert the proposed draft at your cursor.



**Comparison:** SuperWhisper and Wispr Flow are primarily dictation tools. Prelto's main feature is its in-context answers and writing assistant, and the fact that no user data is ever stored on the cloud.



**Pricing:** $12/month with a free 7 day trial, and no credit card required. Dictation runs on-device; the subscription covers the managed cloud models for answers and drafts (zero data retention, never used for training and never stored).

**Privacy:** all user data is stored on your local machine. The context and the screenshots are sent to model providers (using only zero-data retention policy providers), and are discarded immediately.
