Native Linux support

Dictation for Linux.
Finally.

Every other polished dictation app stops at Mac and Windows. dicted ships native Linux packages — a .deb for Ubuntu & Debian, an AppImage for everything else. Voice typing in any app, AI text actions, meeting transcription. One subscription, every OS.

Genuine free tier — no credit card required. Not a trial.

Terminal — dicted setup
$ # Every other dictation app stops here.
$ ls /usr/share/dictation-apps/
ls: cannot access '/usr/share/dictation-apps/': No such file or directory
$ # dicted is different.
$ sudo apt install ./dicted.deb # or run the AppImage
✓ Overlay mounted on GNOME 45 (Wayland)
✓ Global hotkey registered: Ctrl+Shift+Space
✓ Neural voice detection active
✓ Ready — speak anywhere.

Not just dictation — a 3-in-1 suite.

While every other Linux voice tool stops at raw transcription, dicted keeps going.

Voice typing anywhere

A floating glass overlay sits above every app — VS Code, LibreOffice, a browser, a terminal. Press a global hotkey or just start talking. Text appears at your cursor.

Meeting transcription

Upload any meeting audio. Get a speaker-labelled transcript, AI summary, and action items — in under five minutes. No meeting bot required.

AI text actions

One-click transformations on anything you dictate — Rewrite, Draft Email, Extract Action Items, Summarize, Translate. Unlimited on Pro, 10 a day free. AI at your cursor, in any app.

The only polished dictation app on Linux.

Every competitor skips Linux. The open-source alternatives require CLI setup and offer no overlay UI. dicted is the first commercial app to fill this gap.

Private by default

No screenshot capture.
Ever.

dicted never reads your screen or on-screen text — only the audio you dictate. dicted does not capture your screen in any form.

Dictation audio is transcribed and discarded the moment the request finishes. The text output goes to your device. Meeting recordings stay in your account only — delete any meeting any time.
