## What is Dictation Notes?

Turn meetings, lectures, interviews and spoken ideas into notes you can revisit. Dictation Notes brings together iPhone audio recording, live speech-to-text and optional AI meeting summaries.

• Record on iPhone, pause and resume, then transcribe with Apple speech recognition.
• Record with Apple Watch Pro, mark key moments and transfer to your paired iPhone for review.
• Read a compact transcript preview or open the full text; edit saved text and titles.
• With Pro, search titles and transcripts, and jump to marked moments or transcript timestamps.
• Use your chosen AI service for full-recording summaries, takeaways and action items; open cited source text to check the result.
• Pro exports transcripts, summaries, recordings and backups. Restoring an existing backup is free.

Basic features are free. Claim one optional 7-day Pro trial with no automatic charge when it ends.

Try all available Pro features. After the trial, search, precise playback, new AI actions, sharing and backups require purchase. Basic recording, viewing and editing saved content, normal playback and backup restoration remain free.

This is a one-time purchase, not an auto-renewing subscription.

AI and cloud transcription require your own API. Provider fees are separate; the app supplies no keys or credits.

The trial lasts 7 consecutive days from a successful claim. Reinstalling or restoring does not restart it.

Already purchased? Restore with the same Apple Account; no second purchase is needed.

Apple speech recognition prefers on-device processing; unavailable languages or offline models may use Apple’s speech service. Notes and recordings are stored on your device; inclusion in system backups depends on your device settings. API credentials are stored in Keychain. Optional cloud and AI requests send the required audio or text to your chosen provider after recipient disclosure and consent. Obtain required consent before recording and check AI results. Watch recording requires Pro activation on the paired iPhone; no fixed battery life is promised. Supports iPhone, iPad and 13 interface languages.
