What Dictaria is

Dictaria is an AI meeting coach for live transcription, notes, and advice during conversations. It runs on the web, macOS, and Windows. During a meeting, users can request coaching; afterward, overviews collect decisions, action items, and editable notes. Saved meeting history is searchable, and users can ask questions across stored transcripts. Audio files and existing transcripts can be imported with an account. Guest live transcription runs locally on the device, so audio is not sent to Dictaria in that mode. Cloud transcription sends audio chunks to a transcription provider for in-memory processing; recordings are not uploaded to cloud object storage on the current production path. Dictaria says meeting content is not used to train general-purpose AI models. Saved meetings and Workspace Chat sessions default to deletion after one year. Plans include Free, Plus at $12 a month, and Pro at $20 a month.
