What you said

Umm tell Sam I reviewed the contract and actually make it sound more confident, mention the deadline is Friday.

What appeared

Sam, I reviewed the contract and I’m confident we can move forward. The deadline is Friday, so I’ll send the final notes today.

  • Types into Remote Desktop when paste is blocked
  • Understands corrections like “actually” and “I mean”
  • Formats email, code, notes, and lists
  • Works across desktop and mobile
Windows, Mac, and iPhone are available today. Microphone required.

Where dictation breaks

Built for the messy parts of dictation.

Most voice tools look good in a demo. The real test is what happens with names, acronyms, code terms, Citrix, half-finished thoughts, and the sentence you need to fix while you are still talking.

Accuracy

Stop fixing the same words every day.

Names, acronyms, code terms, drug names, clinical shorthand, contract language. DictaFlow is built for real work vocabulary, not just clean demo sentences.

Flow

Fix mistakes without breaking rhythm.

Say “actually” or “I mean” and keep going. DictaFlow handles the correction instead of leaving you with a transcript you have to repair by hand.

Stubborn apps

When paste fails, it can still type.

Citrix, RDP, VMware, locked down browsers, and clipboard-hostile work apps are exactly where normal dictation tends to fall apart.

Mobile capture

Catch the thought before it disappears.

On mobile, the pain is unlocking, switching apps, tapping the mic, waiting, and forgetting what you meant to say. DictaFlow keeps the capture loop short.

Already paying too much for dictation?

If another dictation app feels too expensive, too slow, or too unreliable for everyday work, DictaFlow is the practical alternative: $7/month, free to try, hold-to-talk control, mid-sentence correction, and typing mode for the weird apps where paste fails.

Why DictaFlow

Made for the places where people actually type.

Less pop-up UI, more text landing exactly where you need it: email, docs, IDEs, EHRs, browsers, and remote desktops.

Core workflow

Hold to talk. Release to type.

DictaFlow records only while you hold your trigger. That tiny interaction makes the product feel controlled, private, and fast, especially when you are jumping between apps all day.

Actually Override

Correct yourself mid-sentence.

Misspoke? Say “actually” or “I mean” and continue. DictaFlow treats the correction as part of the flow instead of dumping a messy transcript on you.

Works where paste fails

Citrix, VMware, RDP, locked-down browser apps. DictaFlow can type characters with a tunable delay when clipboards are blocked.

Edit selected text by voice

Highlight a paragraph in Word, Slack, or VS Code, then say “make this clearer” or “turn this into bullets.”

One workflow across devices

Windows, Mac, iPhone, and Android via Telegram are available today, so a thought started on your phone can become clean text back at your desk.

Real vocabulary, not demo vocabulary

Built for 100+ languages, accents, names, acronyms, code terms, product names, clinical shorthand, and the weird words built-in dictation keeps getting wrong.

AI cleanup while you talk

Turn rough speech into emails, bullets, code comments, meeting notes, and prompts. You can even give light instructions as you dictate, like “make this a list” or “format this as Python.”

Medical, legal, and technical words

Dictate drug names, case notes, contract language, client emails, library names, and developer prompts without spending weeks training a voice profile.

Privacy and model choice

Local when privacy matters. Cloud when you need more power.

Use local processing when the content is sensitive. Use cloud cleanup when you want stronger formatting and reasoning. DictaFlow only listens while you hold your trigger, and your audio is never used to train models.

Works in your stack

Email, browsers, docs, IDEs, terminals, notes, EHRs, and remote desktops.

Proof, not noise

Built for people who dictate real work, not demo prompts.

DictaFlow is for the typing situations that get annoying fast: clinical notes, code, email, legal drafts, and remote desktops where ordinary dictation tools get clumsy.

Privacy cue: DictaFlow listens only while you hold your trigger. You can use local processing when privacy matters most, and your audio is never used to train models.

How it works

A tiny habit that replaces a lot of typing.

01

Hold your trigger

Use a keyboard shortcut, mouse side button, or VDI-safe key binding.

02

Speak naturally

Dictate, correct yourself, or ask DictaFlow to clean up the format as you go.

03

Release to insert

Text appears at the cursor. It pastes on your computer and can type into remote sessions.

FAQ

The practical questions.

How is DictaFlow different from Apple Dictation or Windows Voice Typing?

Built-in dictation is fine for quick texts. DictaFlow is for longer work, technical terms, mid-sentence corrections, selected-text editing, and apps where native dictation does not reliably put text where you need it.

Does DictaFlow handle technical terms, names, and acronyms?

Yes. DictaFlow is built for real work vocabulary: code terms, product names, acronyms, clinical shorthand, legal language, client names, and the words built-in dictation often mangles.

How is DictaFlow different from Wispr Flow?

DictaFlow is $7/month, free to try, and focused on controlled hold-to-talk dictation, mid-sentence correction, selected-text editing, and typing into stubborn apps like Citrix or RDP when paste is blocked.

Does DictaFlow work in Citrix, VMware, and Remote Desktop?

Yes. DictaFlow can type characters with an adjustable delay instead of relying on clipboard paste, so it works in environments where normal dictation tools break.

Can I use it in VS Code, Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, Gmail, Notion, and Slack?

Yes. If the app has a text cursor, DictaFlow can usually type there. That includes IDEs, AI chat apps, browsers, email clients, notes, terminals, docs, and many EHR or remote desktop workflows.

Is DictaFlow always listening?

No. DictaFlow records only while you hold your trigger. When you release, recording stops.

What about privacy?

Use local processing when the content is sensitive. Use cloud cleanup when you want stronger formatting and reasoning. DictaFlow only listens while you hold your trigger, and your audio is never used to train models.

What platforms are available?

DictaFlow is available on Windows, Mac, iPhone, and Android through Telegram. The main download button changes based on the device you are visiting from.

How many words come with Pro?

Pro includes 100,000 words per month. If you need higher volume or team billing, email ryan@dictaflow.io.
