Dictawave turns an audio or video file you own into an editable, timestamped transcript in the browser — no meeting bot, no install, no account needed to try. Upload a podcast episode, interview, lecture, or voice memo (up to 500 MB). Dictawave detects the language, optionally separates speakers, and gives you a transcript you can fix inline, then export as TXT, SRT, or VTT. 99 languages. Free tier: 60 minutes a month. No platform downloads: bring a file you own or have permission to use.

Maker here. I built Dictawave because every transcription tool I tried wanted an account, an install, or a bot in the call before I could see a word. Here you open the page, upload a file you already own, and read the transcript. What it does today: 99 languages, speaker labels, 500 MB files, inline edits, TXT/SRT/VTT export. What it deliberately does not do: download from YouTube or TikTok, join meetings, or summarize and translate — those are in development, not shipped. Two things I would love feedback on: does the editor stay fast on a 60-minute file, and which export format is missing from your workflow?
