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.
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.
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.
Professional native voice-to-text and translation for macOS & Windows.
Hold a key in any app, speak naturally, and release.
Clean, formatted text appears at your cursor. No copy-paste, no app switching.
