Email, docs, chat, code — wherever the cursor is, Dictera types your words straight in. No copy-paste, no switching apps. Just talk and keep working.
Speech recognition runs entirely on-device on the Apple Neural Engine. No cloud, no accounts, no API keys — and it works offline.
Switch languages naturally — Dictera transcribes them on-device with the same speed and privacy, no settings to fiddle with.
Tidies punctuation and filler words on-device with Apple Intelligence — your text comes out clean.
Every transcription is saved and searchable, with a weekly report of words dictated and time saved.
Pick any shortcut to start and stop. Choose your mic, and paste-vs-type — all configurable.
Add punctuation, new lines, and edits hands-free — just say the command and keep talking.
Set custom word and phrase replacements so names, jargon, and shortcuts come out exactly right.
