FAQ

About the program

Does SAYRIL work without the internet?

Yes. Speech recognition, translation and text editing run on your computer, and the models are stored on disk. The internet is needed only to download the files and get the license file. Offline

Can my computer run SAYRIL?

A graphics card is not required: without one, the processor does the work. You need 64-bit Windows 10 (version 1809 or later), Windows 11 or Linux, and a microphone; translation and text editing also need a processor with AVX2. On Windows, 3.8 GiB of RAM is recommended for dictation with Windows 10 and 6.6 GiB with Windows 11; other features need more. Test SAYRIL during the free 72-hour trial. Recommended specs

Which systems does SAYRIL run on?

On 64-bit Windows 10, Windows 11 and Linux, on a desktop or laptop. macOS is in development. There are no phone versions. Recommended specs

Where does SAYRIL insert text?

Into the window where the cursor is: an editor, browser, email, messenger, AI assistant chat. Text cannot be inserted into programs running as administrator; it stays on the clipboard. Features

Privacy

Does SAYRIL send audio or text to the internet?

No, and the program has no telemetry either. Text inserted into another program is handled under that program's rules. The program contacts the server for online activation. If a subscription key is saved in the program, it also automatically requests the next month you have already paid for: once a day, from five days before the term ends until 30 days after it ends. It sends the key, the device code and the program version. Offline

Does SAYRIL contact the website for updates on Linux?

The DEB package for Linux adds an update source. The system checks the website for new versions according to its own settings and offers to install them; the program itself sends nothing. The source is removed together with the program.

Installation and activation

Why is the download so large?

The speech recognition, translation and text editing models run on your computer, so they are downloaded with the program: the installer and one archive with all models, 7.30 GiB in total. You download them once; after that the program downloads nothing more. Download

Why does Windows show a warning during installation?

The installer does not have a digital signature yet. Compare the SHA-256 of the file with the checksum in the “Downloads” section of your account, then click “More info” → “Run anyway”. Installation and activation

How do I activate SAYRIL on a computer without the internet?

Copy the device code (SRM-…) from the “Activation” window. On another device, get the .srlic license file in your account, then open it in the program: “Activation” → “Open license file…”. Installation and activation

What happens after reinstalling Windows?

Usually the computer is recognized, and the activation is kept. After replacing the motherboard, a new activation may be needed.

Purchase and license

What if SAYRIL does not suit me?

Try it first: for 72 hours all features work free of charge, without a purchase. If you bought it and changed your mind, the law lets you cancel Base within 7 days, not counting the day of purchase, and get the full amount back. You can cancel a paid month of Pro before it ends and get back the part for the remaining time; a month that has not started yet is refunded in full. Organizations get refunds in the cases provided for by law. Refund Policy

Is there a trial?

Yes. The free 72-hour trial with all features starts at first launch. It runs in the program itself, with no code or activation. The trial is available once per OS user account. You download the installer from your account after you register. Download

How many devices does a license work on?

A personal license is for one person and their family members, on up to two devices at a time. The second device is activated without a transfer.

How do I transfer the license to a new computer?

You can do it yourself once every 12 months: enter the new device's code in your account, and the previous activation will be revoked. If the device is broken, being repaired or lost, contact support: the transfer is free and does not count toward the 12-month limit. Support

Do I need to renew the license?

Base does not need renewing: it is a license without a time limit. Its features work in all versions of the program, including those released after purchase, at no extra cost; Pro features, including new ones, are available only with a subscription. Fixes for bugs, vulnerabilities and compatibility issues are released free of charge while the program is officially supported. Pro is a subscription for one calendar month, renewed manually, with no automatic charges. When the term ends, if you do not have Base, the program stops recognizing speech until you renew the subscription. Your settings and files are kept, and Base, if you have it, keeps working. Plans

How do I pay, and where will the license appear?

You pay on the website, from your account; the price is in rubles. The license appears in your account after the payment is confirmed. Plans
