Frequently Asked Questions

Dictanote is a rich-text notes app with built-in speech recognition in 50+ languages. Imagine it as something like WordPad + Dragon Dictate, in your browser.

The speech recognition service has an average accuracy of 92%. Be sure to set your language/locale in the settings before testing the software.

The free plan is a complete notes app: up to 50 notes in one notebook and 60 minutes of dictation a day, synced to all your devices. Dictanote Pro removes the limits and adds features for people who dictate every day:

• Unlimited notes, notebooks and dictation
• Hands-free dictation that keeps listening in the background until you stop it
• Password-protected notes, voice editing and custom voice commands
• Sharing notes and notebooks with other people

Dictation works in Chrome and Microsoft Edge on Windows, Mac, Linux and ChromeOS, in Chrome on Android, and in Safari 26 or later on Mac, iPhone and iPad. It doesn’t work in Firefox or Brave. You also need a built-in or external microphone; check that your operating system can see it and that you’ve allowed the browser to use it.

Voice commands let you do your common tasks more efficiently. For example, to insert full stop - speak full stop and a . will be inserted. Similarly say you are writing a mail and want to add customary 'Thanking You, Name', for this create a new voice command with text : 'footer', value : 'Thanking You, Name'. Now when you speak in 'footer', it will insert 'Thanking You, Name'

Language settings are used to set the language / locale for your language. This helps in greatly improving the speech recognition accuracy.
