What's New in dicto
2.0
September 7, 2026
Two ways to use dicto... starting now. Introducing Solo! Hold the microphone and dicto focuses on your voice - designed to show your words and ignore other voices nearby. Enroll in seconds, watch the bar fill, and catch the Solo Glow when dicto has fully enrolled your voice. Session-only by design. Everything happens on your device and nothing is ever stored. Also in dicto 2: only whole words on iPad (no more broken hyphens), richer high-contrast colors, and stability fixes throughout.
