Your dicted subscription isn't locked to Windows. Switch to a Mac at home, a Linux workstation, or your Android phone — the same account works everywhere. Transcript history, meeting recordings, and smart action presets all sync.
Dragon does not support Linux or Android. dicted is the only polished commercial dictation app on Linux, and the same subscription covers all four platforms.
dicted does not capture your screen. Some dictation tools take screenshots of your active window for context — dicted takes a different approach and never reads what's on your display.
Dictation audio is transcribed and discarded the moment the request finishes. Meeting recordings stay in your account only — delete any meeting any time.
