Why Dictator
Private by default
On-device transcription — your voice never leaves your iPhone, and it works offline.
Actually clean text
Fixes punctuation and capitalization, drops the "um"s, breaks long thoughts into paragraphs.
Works everywhere
A keyboard on iPhone, a hold-to-talk hotkey on Mac. Text lands where your cursor is.
It respects your music
Records over whatever you're playing — never pauses, ducks, or hijacks your audio.
Say it your way
Pick a register and Dictator matches it.

Cloud accuracy & speed
On-device stays free, forever. A premium tier will add the fastest, most accurate cloud transcription and higher limits — a fair trade for power users.
