Dicta

Talk. Dicta handles the rest. Tap once and start talking. Dicta turns what you said into text, then writes the summary for you. Walking out of a meeting, sitting through a lecture, or catching an idea before it disappears. Record it now, read it later. RECORD Starts with one tap. You can also import audio files and documents you already have. AI SUMMARY You don't have to sit through a forty minute recording again. Dicta breaks every note into three parts: - Overview: what it was about - Key Points: what you shouldn't miss - Action Items: what came out of it TRANSCRIPT Everything spoken gets written down. When more than one person is talking, Dicta separates the speakers so you can tell who said what. You name them yourself. AI CHAT Ask your recording a question. Say "what did we decide about the budget?" and the answer comes back with the timestamp underneath, so you can jump straight to that part and hear it. Chat with one recording or across all your notes at once. FOLDERS Sort by project, class, or client. A recording can live in more than one folder. Most people using Dicta are the ones who never get a free minute between meetings to write anything down, and students who record the lecture and study from the summary later.
