## What is Dictalo?

Dictalo turns your recordings into clear transcripts and useful summaries. Record a meeting, a class or a voice note, or import an audio file, and Dictalo handles the rest.

HOW IT WORKS
Dictalo connects directly to the transcription provider you choose, using your own API key:
• Groq: very fast and low cost, with a free tier (no credit card needed)
• OpenAI: adds speaker detection, so you know who said what (pay per use)
You pay the provider directly for what you use. There is no Dictalo account and no subscription.

FEATURES
• Record with pause and resume, or import audio files (M4A, MP3, WAV and more)
• Transcripts with timestamps; long recordings are split and processed automatically
• Speaker detection for meetings and interviews (with OpenAI)
• AI summaries that adapt to the content: meetings, classes, interviews, voice memos and more
• Projects: group related recordings, give Dictalo your own instructions for summaries, and get an automatically updated overview of each project
• Add notes while you record
• Playback with speed control
• Copy, share, or export transcripts and summaries as .txt or .md files
• Detects the spoken language automatically, or set Spanish or English as your default
• App available in English and Spanish

YOUR DATA
• Recordings and transcripts are stored on your device. Dictalo has no servers and no accounts.
• Audio is sent only when you tap Transcribe, directly to the provider you selected. When you tap Summarize, the transcript is sent to that same provider.
• Your API key is stored in the iOS Keychain.
• No ads, no analytics, no tracking.

WHAT YOU NEED
An API key from Groq (free tier available) or OpenAI. Setup takes about a minute, and the app walks you through it.

Dictalo is an independent app and is not affiliated with Groq or OpenAI.
