Dictation Notes
Read full descriptionHide full description
Dictation Notes turns meetings, interviews, and sales calls you are actually in into live text โ and suggests a short line you can say next. Use it for conversations you take part in, and only with any consent the law requires. This is a personal meeting notebook and reply coach, not a tool for recording others in secret. You bring your own speech-to-text and AI API keys. Keys, history, and recordings stay on your iPhone or Mac. The app has no hosted AI credits, no developer backend, and no built-in keys. On-device dictation works without an API key and stays free. Cloud transcription, optional live translation, and AI replies can be tried 20 times, then a one-time lifetime unlock. This is not a subscription. What you can do โข See the conversation as text while you stay in the room โข Ask for a reply, a summary, a critique, an explanation, or a quick prediction โข Set a goal, background notes, and speaking style for this session โข Keep history and local recordings on the device โข Use 13 interface languages on iPhone and Mac โข Connect common AI and speech providers, or your own compatible chat completions API Please record, transcribe, or summarize only where it is legal and you have any required consent. Audio and text may be sent to the providers you configure.
