Dictation Database is an independent directory of voice dictation and speech-to-text tools. The goal of the site is to be your first stop when looking for a dictation app — whether you want something free and built into your operating system, a local model that never sends audio to the cloud, or a specialist tool for medical or legal work.
Most "best dictation app" lists are published by dictation companies ranking their own product first. We list tools regardless of whether they pay us, and we say plainly when a listing is sponsored. Every entry records the platforms it runs on, how it is priced, and whether it can work offline, so you can filter on what matters to you rather than on who bought the top spot.
