Diktafon: Voice Memos on Tape
Private, on-device transcripts
About
This app offers a private, on-device voice recording experience organized into thematic cassettes. It automatically transcribes and summarizes your memos, allowing for easy retrieval by tapping on any word in the transcript. All processing happens locally, ensuring your data never leaves your device.
What's New in Diktafon
1.0.8
July 23, 2026
• New home screen: cassette tiles in the app icon's pixel-art style. • Clearer transcripts: bundled voice-activity detection cuts background-noise ghost words and hallucinations. • Snappier summaries: one-line memo gists, short memos skip the summary step, and suggested cassette titles name the topic. • Memos no longer get stuck at "transcribing" after the app is interrupted mid-job — stuck memos self-heal on launch. • Playback and recording errors are surfaced instead of failing silently; fixed the jumpy cursor after tapping a transcript word.
