### 5/5 — This is the best

*2026-07-23*

I've been using DictaFlow for almost a month now, and it has been amazing for my workflows. I have probably used five other dictation applications, and they are the popular mainstream ones out there, but they do not come close to the voice accuracy that DictaFlow provides.
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.

### 5/5 — Finally found the best!

### 5/5 — And amazing accessibility tool

*2026-07-11*

that’s an amazing tool and a good price. The subscription is affordable and it allows me to do what I need to do. I didn’t have to upgrade to the pro version because I definitely use more than 2000 words per month. I haven’t needed to upgrade any further so far, but if it keeps working this well, we’ll see, especially in the coming months with me traveling for nonprofit organization organizational events. This is an amazing tool and I recommend to anyone who dyslexic who needs the assistance like this. It works very well.

### 5/5 — Better Wispr flow

*2026-07-07*

It doesn’t kill your battery as fast!

**Developer response:** 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.

### 5/5 — Smooth sailing on MacOS

*2026-07-07*

I've been using DictaFlow on my iMac and MacBook and have found the utility to be reliable, fast, and accurate.

### 5/5 — Much better than Wispr flow

*2026-07-07*

Incredibly accurate and useful dictation keyboard. So much more accurate than Apple dictation or Wispr flow. Would highly recommend. This is my most used app I have. Generous free tier as well.

**Developer response:** Thanks Jeremy — really glad it’s been faster and more accurate than Siri or Wispr for you. That’s exactly the bar I’m trying to hit with DictaFlow.

### 5/5 — Just get this if you do any voice to text!

*2026-06-12*

I just started using Dictaflow, and I have to say, this is awesome. It speeds up all my computer time when I'm on Claude doing Vibe Coding and other voice-to-text commands. Now, I do almost all my voice-to-text on text messages using this. (Apples voice to text is garbage now)

Like I said above, if you do any voice to text, you have to try this out and the pro level is so worth it! Just try it.

**Developer response:** Love this — that Claude / coding workflow is exactly one of the use cases I built DictaFlow for. Really glad it’s replacing Apple dictation for you, and thanks for mentioning Pro too.

### 4/5 — Easy to use and quick

*2026-06-02*

I was looking into Dicta Flow as an alternative to WhisperFlow, and I haven't been disappointed. There was a bit more setup involved, as I had to create a custom prompt, but using AI has helped me shape Dicta Flow into what I want it to be. 
It’s not perfect but it’s definitely still usable and does what an AI voice keyboard is expected to do

**Developer response:** Thanks for the thoughtful review. You’re right that custom prompts can take a little setup, but they’re also where DictaFlow gets much more personal to your workflow. I’m working on making that setup smoother.

### 5/5 — Great voice to text app

*2026-05-13*

Awesome app, super easy to use, totally changes the way that I use my phone in my desktop computer. Very reasonably priced.

**Developer response:** Thanks — using your phone as the voice input for your desktop is one of DictaFlow’s best workflows. Glad it’s working well for you.

### 3/5 — Maybe it’s just me…

*2026-05-04*

Every time I try to tap the microphone to speak, it takes me to a screen that says, "Dictaflow is ready." Then it takes me to a settings screen, and I have to hit the back button to get back to the message I was trying to write. 

I'd like to be able to hit the button and start talking, but that's not how it works on the iphone. 

On the laptop, it's great. I've checked all the settings and everything seems to be in order, but the app keeps putting up this splash screen and the settings, which makes it nearly useless. 

It's way faster to use the regular iPhone dictation than this app. Hopefully, it gets better. If someone from Dictaflow can help me figure out whether I'm doing something wrong, I'm happy to change this review.

**Developer response:** 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.
