Dictanote

Dictation-Powered Notes App

Visit Dictanote

Dictanote is a notes application with built-in speech-to-text, designed for people who prefer to capture ideas by voice rather than typing. It transcribes speech in real time across more than 50 languages and 80+ dialects, and supports voice commands for punctuation, formatting, and corrections. Notes sync to the cloud and remain accessible across devices, with offline editing available when an internet connection is unavailable.

Core features include notebooks, checklists, tables, links, search, and export to PDF, HTML, and text. Dictanote Pro adds unlimited notes and notebooks, unlimited hands-free dictation, password-protected notes, voice-based editing, custom voice commands, sharing with up to 10 people, images in notes, and dictation clean-up options. AudioScribe, an AI writing assistant, transcribes dictated audio and rewrites it into clear text by adding punctuation and removing filler words and repetitions. Dictanote Transcribe converts pre-recorded audio files into text. The app runs in Chrome and Edge on Windows, Mac, Linux, and ChromeOS, in Chrome on Android, and in Safari on Mac, iPhone, and iPad, with standalone app installation available.

Dictanote is aimed at students, writers, journalists, and professionals who dictate regularly. It offers a free plan with limited notes and daily dictation, while Pro is available on monthly or yearly subscriptions with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
