Dictantor

Capture ideas on iPhone or Apple Watch. Transcribe locally on your iPhone, search spoken content, and export audio or text. No account or cloud storage.

Dictantor is a private voice notes app for capturing spoken ideas and turning them into text. Record on iPhone or Apple Watch, transcribe locally on your iPhone, search transcripts, listen back, and export audio or text.

RECORD ON IPHONE OR APPLE WATCH Capture thoughts, meetings, 1:1s, interviews, lectures, brainstorms, study notes, personal reflections, and musical ideas.

Start a recording from the Dictantor Apple Watch app or directly from your watch face. Watch recordings transfer to your paired iPhone when available, where they can be transcribed and stored.

TRANSCRIBE LOCALLY ON YOUR IPHONE Create transcripts directly on your iPhone in supported European languages. Dictantor does not upload your audio for transcription.

LISTEN AND FOLLOW ALONG Play recordings, seek through the timeline, skip forward or back, and tap transcript sections to return to the corresponding moment in the audio.

SEARCH TRANSCRIPTS Search available transcript text and open a recording at the matching passage.

EXPORT AUDIO OR TEXT Export audio or transcript files using the iOS share sheet. Export options appear only when the corresponding content is available.

OPTIONAL ON-DEVICE INSIGHTS On compatible devices, when Apple Intelligence is available and enabled, Dictantor can generate a summary, key takeaways, and action items from supported transcripts.

When Insights is unavailable, recording, transcription, playback, search, and export remain available.

Use Dictantor to capture a quick thought, record a conversation, save a meeting, or keep a spoken note that you can return to later.

Transcription and Insights availability may vary depending on the device, system settings, transcript language, speech clarity, and audio quality. Dictantor for Apple Watch requires a paired iPhone with Dictantor installed.
