Dictation

Category: Speech Recognition

Industries: Writers, Students, Educators

Instead of typing, speak your content. No time limit for dictation. Voice memos can be translated into any language and converted to text.

Instead of typing, you can dictate, record, translate, and transcribe text with speech-to-text software. It uses the most recent speech-to-text voice recognition technology, and its primary function is text messaging speech-to-text and translation. Never type anything; always dictate and translate verbally! Almost all text messaging apps have the option to operate with “Dictation – Speech to text.” Dictate makes advantage of the internal speech-to-text engine.

Features of dictation-to-text include:

Dictation Languages in Over 40

More than 40 languages are supported using dictation-speech-to-text. For each of Dictate’s three text zones—denoted by language flags—you can select a different language in the settings. As a result, switching between various language projects only requires one click.

Over 40 Languages for Translation

Pushing the translation button is all that is required to translate. In the app’s settings, you can choose the translation target language. The translation is then obtained by pressing the translate button.

Sound recording

You can access both your audio recordings and your text files using the Apple “Files” app.

Transcribing audio files that have been recorded

You may quickly convert speech-containing audio recordings into text using the audio file transcription tool. There is support for all common audio file types.

synchronization with iCloud

When you enable iCloud, all of your Dictate-using devices, including iPhone, iPad, macOS, and Apple Watch, immediately sync your text.

Support for People with Disabilities

For users who are blind or visually impaired, Dictate now supports the system font size setting and offers customizable button sizes. VoiceOver is also carefully set up.

Simple Text Sharing

There is a “Share” button that enables you to launch the target app, such as Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, Flickr, Email, or anything else that can receive text from the system, so you may send your dictated text messages instantly.

Dictation reviews

I recently lost my hearing and I'm deaf in both ears. I like your app for one on one conversations. Having extra people in the room makes it difficult because this app picks up everything, including my voice. Only one person can speak at a time. Now I need to find an app that will work with my iPhone so I can do phone calls. I could not find one on your website and this surprised me. I hav not been able to figure out how to save or share a file. I've tried over and over but instructions are lacking.

App shows a menu of supported speech languages but some of the desired language cannot be selected I previously wrote a negative (2*) preview because after i purchased the Pro Version, I tried to set the app to do the voice-to-text in the language i selected but did not see any button or a box to confirm the selected language beside the “Dismiss” option. But after a few tries, I realized that after I selected “Setup” to choose the speech recognition language, I just needed to select “Dismiss” to go back to the interface where I can start the voice-to-text process by tapping on the red button at the bottom of the screen and just said a few words in the previously set language and saw that the speech is being transcribed in that set language. I wish there were some instructions guiding the user on how to set up the app to do the v-to-t in that language. Thus, the 4 stars instead of 5 ones.

And I have used all kinds of dictation apps going back to Via Voice (IBM). Remember that one? Since IBM took VV off the market, Dragon/Nuance has always been the standard bearer, and their products were always good (except for tech support) , but this app is far superior. Works great on iOS/iPADOS/MACOS. Accuracy is remarkable. Corrections done super easy, usually only very minor ones are needed. Customizable UI. Apple share sheet gets you into Messages, Mail, Files app, Notes, you name it. Incredibly fast. Huge increase in my productivity. Try it for free…you’ll see what I mean. Also extremely affordable with flexible payment plans if you decide to buy after the initial free usage. I have tried all the apps currently available….this one is head and shoulders above all the rest.
