Review summary

Dictadroid is praised for its traditional dictation features, stability, and user-friendly interface, making it especially popular among professionals for recording and transcribing voice. However, multiple users report issues with audio quality on newer devices, inaccurate transcription, and recording duration errors. Some experience recordings missing audio when the screen is off, and there are complaints about the absence of a waveform display which limits editing precision.

Pros

Offers traditional dictation features like rewind and overwrite, making it more than a simple audio recorder.
Stable and reliable performance over time for many users.
User-friendly and easy to use interface with easy file sharing.
Automated transcription functionality available, valuable when accurate.
Highly valued by professionals such as in medical practice for dictation.

Cons

Audio recording quality issues on some devices (e.g., Google Pixel 4a with Android 11) resulting in garbled sound or missing audio.
Automated transcription quality often poor and unreliable, requiring manual correction or retyping.
Recording duration metadata errors, sometimes showing negative duration or incorrect length.
Issues with recording when screen is off, with recordings only capturing sound while screen is on.
Lack of waveform display and limited editing control during playback for precise navigation.

2024-11-11	Oc*****	Great recording app. However there is some error with the file duration, which is sometimes negative and sometimes (24 hrs - actual recording time). Please help me to fix the recording duration.

2021-07-02	Dr*****	This app is well worth the cost for the full features. Automated transcription works well. The reviewed transcription obviously is much better and also well worth the cost.

2020-04-17	A *****	Best dictation app available. Rewind and overwrite modes make it a true dictation program and not just an audio recorder. Anybody who dictates knows this is a must and would spend over $100 for a nice digital recorder that does this. Thanks!

2020-04-17	A *****	Absolutely the BEST app I have ever downloaded!! So easy to use and so convenient! I really do not know why anyone who dictates reports, letters, or other documents does not use this app. I sincerely hope this app is available forever!! I use it in my medical practice and have never had any issues with it!
