Speak naturally. It’s written.

Dictaphone is a private iPhone and iPad companion for everyday dictation and consented meetings. Notes stay on your device; meetings are transcribed clearly, then returned to your library.

On-device dictation

Private by default

Your everyday dictation stays on your device.

Cloud only with consent

Meeting audio is sent only after you finish recording.

No email account

Use the app without giving Dictaphone your email address.

SIMPLE ON PURPOSE

A quiet studio in your pocket.

From the record button to the library, every surface keeps the distinction between private notes and consented cloud meetings visible and understandable.

Notes that stay local

Eligible everyday dictation uses Apple’s on-device speech technology. Your audio and nearby text stay on your iPhone.

Meetings with clear consent

Before a meeting starts, Dictaphone asks you to confirm that every participant has agreed to recording and cloud AI transcription.

Know who said what

After a consented meeting, timed text returns to the app and anonymous speaker labels are calculated locally on your device.

A library you control

Save notes and meeting transcripts in one place, then review, export, or delete them whenever you choose.

YOUR DATA, YOUR CHOICE

Notes stay local. Meetings go to the cloud once.

Eligible everyday dictation uses Apple’s on-device speech technology. For a meeting, you confirm participant consent before recording; when it finishes, encrypted audio is sent to Groq for transcription and temporary audio is deleted after processing.
