About Hiwa 灯話 - AI Voice Journal
As if lighting a small flame at the end of the day. 灯話 (Hiwa — roughly "light and words") is a gentle voice journaling app: just speak, and it becomes a record. ■ Just speak, and it becomes a record No typing required. Tap the screen gently, as if touching a candle's flame, and say whatever is on your mind. When you're done, AI quietly smooths your words into something easy to read — without rephrasing or summarizing, keeping your own words as close to what you actually said as possible. ■ Start from a question Some nights, you don't know where to begin. Choose "Start from a question," and a gentle prompt tied to your day will help you find your way in. ■ Prefer typing? That's fine too On days or in places where speaking out loud isn't comfortable, you can write instead. Either way, your entry is treated exactly the same. ■ Read back anytime Every past entry lives in your archive, ready whenever you want to look back. You can also export everything as a single markdown file to take with you. ■ Word Book — keep your names spelled right Family names, your workplace, the shop you always visit. The words that matter most are the ones speech recognition gets wrong. Save them to your Word Book and Hiwa will use your spelling, both when listening and when tidying. After an entry, it suggests just one word worth saving, so the book fills up without effort. The note comes pre-drafted by AI, but you always decide what it says. ■ Stored encrypted Your entry content is encrypted before it is saved to our database. Encryption keys are managed separately from the database, so your words cannot be read by viewing the database directly. ■ Tonight, as a card Turn a single line from your entry into a small card lit by the flame. Never the whole entry — you always choose which line leaves the app. ■ 灯話 Premium (free 3-day trial) AI polishing, prompts, and short replies are available up to 3 times a day on the free plan. With 灯話 Premium, all of these become unlimited. Saving and reading past entries stays unlimited on every plan. At the end of the day, take a little time to listen to your own voice. May 灯話 be that quiet light. ■ Terms of Use & Privacy Policy Terms of Use (EULA): https://hiwa.blog/en/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://hiwa.blog/en/privacy.html

During recording, you can lower the panel until only its handle is visible. One opening question is shown at a time, with a button beside it to choose another. Long questions are shortened in the list; tap one to read it in full.
