How it works

From mumble to mail in four steps.

  1. Talk

    Tap the button. Ramble for up to 30 minutes. We don’t judge.

    The Dicta Dork recording screen at rest: one big round button, ready to go.
  2. Dicta Dork types

    Your iPhone turns the recording into text. On the phone itself. No server, no eavesdropping.

    Dicta Dork transcribing a recording: progress is at 64 percent.
  3. Read and fix

    Read it back. Fix what’s off. Teach it a tricky word once, and it remembers.

    Fixing a word in the text and adding it to the word list.
  4. Send

    Send it through Outlook. Or copy and share it. Done before your coffee gets cold.

    The result with the buttons Copy, Share and Send through Outlook.

Screens: design.

Privacy, the short version

Your words. Your phone. That’s the whole list.

Typed on your iPhone

The transcribing happens on the phone itself. Your recording never visits a server.

No account

No sign-up, no password to forget. Install it and start talking.

No analytics

The app doesn’t track what you do. Neither does this website. Honestly, we don’t even know you’re here.

What Dicta Dork does

Silly name. Serious tool.

Who it’s for

Half dictaphone. Half nerd. All yours.

Made for professionals who do their best thinking on the move, and who’d rather not ship their words to a cloud.
