Find answers to common questions below, or reach out directly.

What file formats are supported?

Dictamaphone supports plain text (.txt), PDF (.pdf), and Word documents (.docx). Import files using the + button on the home screen.

Why does the app need microphone access?

The microphone is used to record voice notes while you listen to a document. Speech recognition runs entirely on your device using Apple's built-in SFSpeechRecognizer — no audio is sent to any server.

Why does the app need speech recognition permission?

Speech recognition converts your spoken voice notes into text. This processing happens on-device. You can deny the permission, but voice note transcription won't be available.

How do voice notes work?

While a document is being read aloud, tap the record button to capture a voice note. Your note is automatically linked to the position in the text where you recorded it, so you can revisit your thoughts in context later.

What's included for free?

The free version lets you import up to 3 documents with full text-to-speech and voice note functionality.

What does Pro unlock?

Dictamaphone Pro removes the 3-document limit, letting you import unlimited documents. It's a one-time purchase — no subscriptions.

Is my data private?

Yes. All documents, notes, and processing stay entirely on your device. Dictamaphone has no servers, no analytics, and no third-party SDKs. See our Privacy Policy for details.
