Dictanote is a notes app with speech-to-text for voice-typing notes. Speech recognition covers more than 50 languages and 80-plus dialects, and notes can be arranged into notebooks with checklists, tables, links, search, favorites, and pinned items. AudioScribe transcribes voice notes, rewrites them into clear text, and supports custom styles and translation; it can connect with other apps through Zapier or a webhook. Notes can be accessed and edited offline, but dictation needs an internet connection. Dictanote says browser speech recognition handles dictation and that it does not receive or store audio, while notes are kept on its servers for syncing. The free plan is 0.00 USD per free, billed $0 forever, and allows up to 50 notes in one notebook and 60 minutes of dictation a day. Dictation also stops after 20 seconds of silence. Pro monthly is 8.00 USD per month, billed monthly; Pro yearly is 60.00 USD per year, billed yearly. Dictation works in specified versions of Chrome, Edge, and Safari, but not Firefox or Brave. The app is available across desktop and mobile platforms, with browser installation options.
Who it is for
Dictanote suits people who want to dictate notes in supported browsers and organize them into notebooks. It may also suit users who need offline access to existing notes, while recognizing that dictation itself requires internet access.
