## What is Dictalume?

Dictalume – Your voice. Your words.

Some thoughts are easier to say than to type. Capture them while they're fresh: Dictalume turns your voice into text you can edit, copy and share. From a quick note to a longer message or your next big idea. No account. No subscription.

SPEAK INSTEAD OF TYPING
Tap to start recording, or hold the record button while you speak. Once you finish, Dictalume turns your words into text. Works with AirPods and Bluetooth headsets, too.

TURN THOUGHTS INTO CLEAR WRITING
Use on-device AI to improve punctuation, grammar and formatting, or create a clear summary. Compare the original with the polished version and choose what to keep.

GIVE YOUR FILES A WRITTEN VERSION
Import voice notes, podcasts or videos, one at a time or as a whole folder. Dictalume works through the files in order. Supported formats include M4A, MP3, WAV, AAC, MP4, MOV, AIFF and CAF.

KEEP YOUR WORDS CLOSE
Whisper, Parakeet and on-device text enhancement process your content directly on your iPhone. Once downloaded, the models work offline. Dictalume has no advertising trackers or analytics tools, and there's no account to create.

The optional Apple Speech engine may also process speech on Apple's servers. For offline transcription of your recordings, choose a downloaded Whisper or Parakeet model. You decide what to share, export or back up through an enabled iCloud device backup.

YOUR MODEL. YOUR PACE.
Choose Apple Speech, one of six Whisper models or Parakeet TDT v3. Find the balance of storage space, speed and recognition quality that suits your device and your needs.

LESS EDITING. MORE GETTING THINGS DONE.
- A personal dictionary for names, specialist terms and recurring recognition mistakes.
- Searchable history with editable text and adjustable retention settings.
- Start dictation with Siri and Apple Shortcuts.
- Optionally copy results to the clipboard automatically.
- Export text as TXT or Markdown and share recordings as M4A files.

TRANSCRIBE IN TEN LANGUAGES
German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Japanese and Mandarin. Whisper can detect the language automatically. Parakeet supports the eight European languages listed here.

TRY IT FREE. UNLOCK IT ONCE.
Try every transcription model with five free minutes in total, shared across all models. Then unlock Dictalume Pro with a one-time in-app purchase for unlimited transcription time, AI text enhancement, summaries and full history. No subscription. No automatic renewal. Includes Apple Family Sharing for up to six family members.

REQUIREMENTS
Requires iOS 18.1 or later. AI text enhancement and summaries require iOS 26 or later and a compatible device with Apple Intelligence enabled and available. Availability varies by language and region. An internet connection is required to download models, make purchases and restore purchases.
