Dictanote is Voice In's sibling: same team, same domain, different product. Where Voice In is an extension that adds dictation to other people's websites, Dictanote is a notes application with speech-to-text built in — you dictate into Dictanote's own editor, and your notes sync to the cloud. Around 100,000 users, 50+ languages and 80+ dialects, and an AI assistant called AudioScribe that summarises voice notes.

Notes and dictation in the same place. No copying text out of a scratchpad into somewhere it belongs. Your dictated notes are the document.
Dialect coverage. 80+ dialects across 50+ languages is more granular than most competitors, and dialect handling is where generic engines usually fail.
$4/month with an AI assistant. AudioScribe summarising voice notes at that price is good value, if the promotional rate holds.
Cross-device sync included. Dictate on a laptop, read on a phone.
Same team as a proven product. Voice In's 600,000 users suggest the speech pipeline underneath is sound.
Where it falls short
iPhone is read-and-edit only. No dictation on iOS through Safari, which undercuts the cross-device story on the most common phone.
Pricing isn't clearly published. A $4/month promotional rate is advertised; standard tier pricing and free-tier limits aren't laid out anywhere obvious. That's a recurring problem across this vendor's pages.
Browser-based, so you're locked into their editor. Fine if you want a notes app, useless if you need to dictate into Word, Slack, or an IDE.
Cloud only. Notes and audio go to their servers. Notably, Voice In advertises in-browser processing with nothing sent to the server; Dictanote makes no such claim, and the difference matters.
The two products are easy to confuse. Shared domain and branding, genuinely different tools. Read carefully before subscribing.
Pricing
There's a free tier, though its limits aren't clearly documented. Dictanote Pro bundled with the AudioScribe AI writing assistant is promoted at $4/month. Verify current pricing on the site before buying, and check which product you're on.
Who it's for
People who want a dedicated place for dictated notes and who work on a laptop rather than a phone. If you need dictation into other applications, buy Voice In instead — it's the same team solving the more common problem. If you want a free browser notepad without an account, Speechnotes does that.
