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.
