Dictanote installs as a standalone desktop app in two steps. These instructions work the same on Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome OS.
Step 1: Open https://dictanote.co in Chrome or Edge. At the
right of the address bar, click Install
.
If you instead see
, that
means the
Dictanote app is already installed. Click on it to open the app.
Don't see the icon? Open the browser menu (⋮ at the top right) and look for
Install — in newer versions of Chrome it sits under Cast, Save and Share, and in
Edge
under Apps.
Step 2: You will see a popup. Click Install.

That's it! You will see a shortcut on your desktop. Clicking
it will open Dictanote in a standalone window.
