Puhuu by HowToSay
A voice-led way to turn everyday Mandarin into English that sounds lived-in, calm, and socially natural.
Web preview with authenticated API access
Voice in. Better phrasing out.
Say the thing the way people actually say it.
Puhuu is built for the quick, slightly messy moments where you already know what you mean, but you want the English to sound warmer, lighter, and more natural than a direct translation.
Input
Speak a Mandarin thought naturally, without rewriting it first.
Output
Get a polished English phrasing, plus the literal meaning and quick context.
Use case
Useful for chats, meetings, travel moments, or when tone matters as much as meaning.
Hero demo
Tap once, speak once, get a cleaner English line.
Speech recognition happens in the browser first. After the transcript is ready, the page sends text to the authenticated HowToSay API and renders the response here.
Use a short Mandarin phrase. Browser support is best in Chrome and other Chromium browsers; permission must be granted before recording begins.
Recognized input
Your transcript will appear here after the browser captures it.
Natural phrasing
The web demo will place the generated English here.
Literal meaning
A close literal translation will show up here.
Why it works
A short explanation will help the user understand the tone shift.

general
01
Text-first clarity
The page stays editorial and quiet, so the words and spacing carry the experience instead of heavy UI chrome.
02
Voice-ready workflow
Microphone permissions, browser support, listening state, and generation feedback all live in the hero where the action starts.
03
Designed for real speech
The interaction assumes quick spoken input first, then lets the generated phrasing explain itself without sending the user to another view.
Editorial rhythm
A calmer landing page for a language tool that starts with nuance.
For the first release
The focus here is the visual system and the hero interaction. The demo logic is replaced with a real authenticated generate flow, while the broader product depth can grow later without changing the page direction.
What changes next
Future rounds can add saved history, richer prompt controls, and authenticated native clients without having to revisit the hero composition or the page shell.
