Current functionality
NeuroSwitcher is built for people who move between languages all day: messages, documents, code comments, search, support chats, and internal tools.
Analyzes the recent typing buffer, detects when the characters do not fit the active language, switches the layout, and replaces the text. For manual control, press Pause to convert the last word or selected text. Undo the last correction with Shift+Pause.
Temporarily stop or restart the runtime with Ctrl+Shift+P. The same control is available from the tray menu when you prefer not to use a hotkey.
Stable core mappings cover English, Russian, and Hebrew in both directions. German support is present as an experimental path.
Supports SI-1452 Classic, SI-1452-2 Arkan, and Phonetic QWERTY-Hebrew variants, with BiDi fixes for brackets and direction markers.
Type Latin input and convert it into Russian or Hebrew. Toggle Translit Mode with Ctrl+Alt+T or from the tray menu; the tray also opens the transliteration rules cheatsheet file.
Includes 430+ built-in transliteration entries and lets users add custom replacement pairs without changing the core engine. The user dictionary is edited in Pro Console: it stores from → to rules, not accepted wordforms.
Shows local in-typing suggestions. Accept with Right, toggle suggestions with Ctrl+Alt+S, and move through candidates with Up / Down.
Can auto-capitalize after sentence endings and fix accidental double-uppercase words such as HEllo to Hello. Use Ctrl+Insert to accept the current wordform: NeuroSwitcher remembers that the word is already correct, but does not create a dictionary replacement.
Disable corrections for selected processes: games, video players, terminals, IDEs, or any app where keyboard interception should stay out of the way.
Pro Console exposes the confidence threshold, buffer size, suggestions, hotkeys, and Translit Mode languages. Quick shortcuts open the right section directly: Ctrl+Alt+H for clipboard, Ctrl+Alt+K for dictionary, and Ctrl+Alt+W for wordforms. It also has a silent-start switch: no log console window on the next launch.
Use the tray icon to pause or resume NeuroSwitcher, switch Translit Mode targets, open the cheatsheet, open Pro Console, change UI language, or quit.
Default keyboard shortcuts
These are the current default shortcuts in the beta. Pro Console lets you change them later if they conflict with your workflow.
Pro beta
Pro is not just a prettier tray icon. It is the control layer around the local Rust runtime: visual settings, dictionary editing, runtime health, clipboard workflow, and packaging for non-technical users.
Privacy and trust
Detection, correction, transliteration, dictionaries, and Pro console state are designed to work locally.
The core substitution path uses Windows text input APIs instead of relying on the clipboard for normal corrections.
The shared runtime, mappings, config, hooks, and UI-safe API are separated from the commercial Pro shell.

FAQ
Yes, the beta is free to download and test. Beta access is for real-world testing and feedback while the product is being polished.
.ex_ — what now?The beta is not yet code-signed, so two things can happen on download:
Windows SmartScreen warning — when you run the file, you see "Windows protected your PC". Click More info, then Run anyway. This warning goes away once the build is signed for the public release.
Antivirus rename to .ex_ — some products (Kaspersky, Bitdefender, corporate AV) quarantine unknown executables by changing the extension so they cannot be launched accidentally. Open your Downloads folder, rename NeuroSwitcher-Pro-Beta-X.Y.Z.ex_ back to .exe, and it will run. If your AV outright deleted the file, restore it from the AV quarantine and add a local exception.
You can verify the file you downloaded is the original: every release publishes its SHA-256 at /v1/latest. Compare it with certutil -hashfile NeuroSwitcher-Pro-Beta-X.Y.Z.exe SHA256 in PowerShell.
No. The beta is local-first: typing, detection, and correction run on your computer without constant internet access.
Yes. NeuroSwitcher supports a process exclusion list and Pro includes a friendlier visual editor for it.
False positives, missed corrections, keyboard-layout edge cases, app-specific conflicts, installer issues, and confusing Pro Console settings.
Open the Dictionary tab in Pro Console (fastest way: Ctrl+Alt+K) and add the word to Excluded Base Terms. The built-in transliteration rule is muted just for that entry — everything else keeps working, and you don't lose the rule on the next update.
Common cases: a friend's nickname that looks like a translit target ("Хелло" stays as a name instead of being rewritten to "hi"); a term used in your professional jargon where the automatic conversion is wrong; a word you simply prefer to type as-is. One entry per line, save the dictionary, and the rule is gone for you.
