A powerful speech-to-text editor for professional dictation with multi-language and custom voice command support.
Dictanote is a sophisticated browser-based speech-to-text application that integrates high-accuracy voice recognition with a feature-rich word processor. Positioned as a lightweight alternative to Dragon NaturallySpeaking, it leverages the Web Speech API and proprietary punctuation algorithms to provide a fluid writing experience in over 40 languages and 50 dialects. By 2026, Dictanote has maintained its market position by offering 'Voice Commands'—a technical feature allowing users to create custom macros and formatting triggers via voice. This makes it particularly effective for long-form writing, legal documentation, and academic research. Its technical architecture is primarily optimized for Chromium-based browsers, ensuring low-latency processing and high-fidelity transcription. The platform includes a cloud-synced 'Pro' environment that allows users to organize notes into hierarchical folders, attach files, and manage large-scale transcription projects. Unlike standard transcription services that focus solely on meeting recordings, Dictanote is purpose-built for 'live writing,' enabling authors and professionals to compose complex documents entirely hands-free while maintaining full control over formatting and structure through its integrated rich-text editor.
