"need to write to the client that we received their request and will get back within two business days"
One shortcut — and recording starts from any app.
Speak naturally. Dictanota recognizes speech right on your device.
Text appears where your cursor is. Instantly.
Dictanota is not another service with servers "somewhere out there." Speech recognition runs entirely on your device. This is not a setting — it's the architecture. Verify yourself: the code is open.
Download and start right away. No signup required.
No internet — no problem. Everything is already on your device.
No marketing promises. Here's what Dictanota actually does.
The recognition model loads once and runs on your Mac's CPU or GPU. No server requests.
No delay for sending data and waiting for a response. Results appear in real time.
Text is inserted where your cursor is. Email, messenger, editor — doesn't matter.
Plane, train, basement — no internet needed. At all.
Set up a shortcut. Hold — speak. Release — text is ready.
No subscriptions, no trial period. Just download and use.
Dictanota is not a plugin. Text appears where your cursor is. Any app is supported.
"The main thing for me is that nothing goes to the cloud. I dictate reports every day. Fast and reliable."
"As a developer, I value that it works fully offline. I use it for code comments and Slack messages."
"I have carpal tunnel syndrome, dictation is a lifesaver. Dictanota works without internet and doesn't lag. Perfect."
Free. Local. No signup. Download and start speaking.
