Freemium

Description

Dictanote is a versatile note-taking application designed for modern users, featuring built-in speech-to-text capabilities. It allows individuals to efficiently voice type their notes, supporting real-time transcription with high accuracy in more than 50 languages and 80 dialects. Users can utilize voice commands to insert punctuation, format text, and even add smileys, streamlining the note-creation process. All notes are securely stored and automatically synced to the cloud, ensuring accessibility across various devices including desktops (via Chrome/Edge), Android, and basic editing functionality on iOS (Safari).

Beyond standard dictation, Dictanote offers an advanced AI writing assistant called AudioScribe. This feature transcribes voice notes with enhanced accuracy, cleans up the text by removing filler words and repetitions, adds appropriate punctuation, and summarizes the content. The Pro version enhances functionality with features like unlimited notebooks, background dictation, custom voice commands for automation, voice-based editing controls (undo, backspace), image embedding in notes, and expanded AudioScribe capabilities including audio file uploads and custom writing styles. Dictanote also provides offline access for editing notes, although dictation requires an internet connection.
