I’m a convert
One of the features I didn’t know about initially was by hitting the windows button and the alt button I could get dictation that was cleaned up by AI is if I were dictating to a real person who could pivot if I made a mistake.
It’s gotten so much better and there have been a few hiccups, but when I reached out to Ryan, he got back with a very gracious email and some terrific instructions!
I’ve just downloaded the latest update and I’m also going to be trying Ryan’s suggestions. It’s highly likely I will be back soon to upgrade this rating to 5 stars.

Thanks for the detailed note — you’re not doing anything wrong. On iPhone, Apple requires DictaFlow’s keyboard to open the DictaFlow app when the recorder needs to reconnect. After it says “DictaFlow is ready,” swipe back to the app you were typing in, then use the DictaFlow keyboard there. To reduce how often this happens, open DictaFlow → Settings → Keyboard → Mic Auto-Off and set it to 1 hour or 4 hours. That keeps the recorder alive longer in the background. I know this flow is annoying — it’s an iOS keyboard limitation, not how the Mac/Windows apps work. Email me at ryan@dictaflow.io and I’ll help get it working smoothly.
This is the best
The developer is extremely responsive and has even implemented an offline mode that works far better than when I first started using it. This is handy for me because there are times when I absolutely cannot get an Internet connection inside specific buildings. In those cases, it gives me the same fantastic dictation capabilities in a supremely quick offline version.
I have deleted all of the other voice dictation apps I used in the past because they don't hold a candle to what DictaFlow offers. I'm all in on it, and this entire review was written with the application. I didn't need to go back and make any corrections whatsoever.

Thanks — battery life matters a lot for a dictation keyboard, so I’m glad DictaFlow is feeling lighter there. I’m continuing to tune speed, accuracy, and background behavior with every update.
