Your dicted account works across every device. Sign in on Android (coming soon), your Mac, Windows machine, or at app.dicted.ai in any browser — the same subscription, transcript history, and meeting recordings, everywhere.
And unlike most voice tools, dicted covers Linux too. dicted is the only polished commercial dictation app on Linux, and the same Pro plan covers all four platforms.
dicted transcribes your voice and discards the audio the moment the request completes. The transcribed text goes to your device and your account. dicted does not capture your screen or read surrounding content.
Meeting recordings stay in your account only — you control deletion. dicted never trains AI on your content.
Genuine free tier — not a trial. No credit card required to start.
