About

Engineer turned founder. I built Dictura because I was tired of the gap between how fast I think and how fast I can type. I speak 3× faster than I type, so I built a tool that turns that into a superpower. Previously a backend engineer working across global teams. I think in one language but write in several- that's why Dictura has AI translation built into the core. Building native desktop tools for macOS and Windows. Privacy-first, zero data stored.

iOS beta is live- Dictura now works from any app on your phone

Hey everyone, quick one.

The iOS app is officially in open beta. You can grab it from TestFlight right now.

The biggest design question was how to make "hold a key, speak, release" work on a phone where there's no physical hotkey. The answer: a custom keyboard. You add Dictura as a keyboard on your iPhone, and from any app- Messages, Slack, WhatsApp, email, whatever- you tap the mic, speak, and the text goes straight into the text field. No switching apps, no copy-paste. Same flow as desktop, just adapted for mobile.

Translation works the same way. You pick your spoken language and up to 5 output languages, and tabs appear right on the keyboard. Speak in your language, tap the English tab, get clean English output. Switch tabs, same recording, different language. It just works.

iOS is coming- Dictura on your phone, same idea

Quick update for anyone following along.

We launched Dictura on Mac and Windows a few days ago and the response has been great. Many people have been asking about mobile, which is perfect timing because we've been working on an iOS version for a while now, and we're almost ready.

Same concept: tap, speak, get clean text. Translation built in, same as desktop. You think in your language, the output comes out in whatever language you need. No extra steps.

Would love to hear your thoughts. See you at launch!

Hey everyone, I'm Aviv, the maker behind Dictura.

We're launching here tomorrow, and I wanted to start a conversation before we go live.

Dictura is an AI voice-to-text with a translate app for Mac and Windows. The core idea is simple: hold a key, speak at 150+ WPM, release- clean, formatted text appears wherever your cursor is. Any app, any text field.

What makes it different: built-in AI translation. You can speak in the language you think in and get natural, professional output in whatever language the reader needs. 60+ languages.
