On-device transcription
Transcription runs directly on your device, iPhone and Mac alike. Your voice is never sent to a server to be transcribed.
Smart dictaphone · iPhone and Mac
Speak freely.
Speak freely.
Dictalia handles the rest.
Record an appointment, an interview, a meeting. Dictalia transcribes it on your device, tells speakers apart, and drafts a summary. On Mac it hears your video calls too — without your voice ever leaving the machine to be transcribed.
Features
Everything you need to stop taking notes
A dictaphone that listens, transcribes, tells voices apart, and summarizes — while you stay present in the conversation.
Who's actually talking
Dictalia tells speakers apart, even several on the same microphone, and you can rename each one with a tap or a click.
Relisten, text in hand
The audio stays on your device. Read the transcript while it highlights exactly in sync with the audio track.
Claude or local summary
Generate a structured summary — overview, key points, action items per person, next steps — with Claude or a fully local model.
It's your text
Fix a mis-transcribed word, rename a speaker: every edit updates search and the summary.
iCloud, your choice
Text syncs automatically across iPhone, iPad and Mac; audio, being heavier, only syncs once you turn it on.
On iPhone
Dictalia, day to day
A doctor's appointment, an interview, a work meeting — a few examples of what Dictalia produces from an everyday conversation.
On Mac
The same app, at the width of your screen
The Mac version does everything the iPhone does — and goes further: it hears what comes out of your speakers, joins your Teams meetings, and puts the summary and the transcript side by side.
System audio, not just the mic
A microphone only hears the room you're in. On Mac, Dictalia also captures what comes out of your speakers: your video call is transcribed from both sides, remote participants included.
Your Teams meetings, without you
Paste a Teams meeting link: Dictalia joins it, shows live subtitles and writes the summary at the end. All you have to do is take part.
Two columns, one read
Room enough to read the summary and check the transcript at the same time, without switching screens. Every key point stays tied to the moment it was said.
One subscription, all your devices
One hour of recording free every month. The Pro subscription is shared across Mac, iPhone and iPad — start a meeting on one, pick it up on the other, without paying twice.
Coming to the Mac App Store
Tell me when it ships
The Mac version is being prepared for the Mac App Store. Write to us if you'd like to hear when it ships — or to try an early build.
Privacy
Your conversations belong to you
Dictalia is designed to keep control in your hands, not a server's.
01
On-device transcription
No audio is ever sent to a server to be transcribed — the model runs entirely on your iPhone or your Mac.
02
Summary, your choice
Use Claude for a finer summary, or a local model that never leaves the device. You choose every time.
03
Sync is opt-in
Your text syncs via iCloud across your devices; the audio, though, only goes to the cloud if you tap "Sync".
