What Dictanote is

What to watch out for
Dictanote is free to start, but advanced features require a paid subscription, and the free limits and pricing can change. Voice recognition accuracy depends on your microphone, background noise, accent, and speaking speed, so expect to edit the transcript, especially for technical terms or names. Because it listens to your voice, use it in settings where recording is appropriate, and review the text before you rely on it for anything important, since a misheard word can change the meaning of a note.
