Dictanote vs Lispr

Dictanote is a notes app with speech-to-text for voice-typing notes, supporting recognition in more than 50 languages and 80-plus dialects. Notes can be arranged in notebooks and include checklists, tables, links, search, favorites, and pinned items. AudioScribe transcribes voice notes and rewrites them into clear text, with custom styles, translation, and connections to other apps through Zapier or a webhook. Notes can be accessed and edited offline, but dictation requires an internet connection. Dictanote says browser speech recognition processes dictation without the service receiving or storing audio; notes are stored on its servers for syncing. The free plan costs nothing and allows up to 50 notes in one notebook and 60 minutes of dictation per day. Dictation works in specified versions of Chrome, Edge, and Safari, but not Firefox or Brave. Pro costs $8 a month billed monthly or $60 a year billed yearly.

Lispr is a cloud dictation application for Windows and macOS that converts speech to text. It supports 99 languages and allows custom vocabulary for words or terms you want recognized. Voice commands are not supported, so spoken computer control is outside its listed capabilities. Offline dictation is also unavailable, making the cloud service dependent on online use. Lispr offers a free plan billed at $0 forever with 60 dictation minutes per week. Its Pro plan costs $79 a year and has a fair-use ceiling of 1,500 dictation minutes per calendar month. The pricing information also lists paid access from $7.99 per month and a 30-day trial. Lispr uses a cloud privacy model rather than offline processing. The maker is Lispr, headquartered in Dover, Delaware, United States. The supported desktop platforms are Windows and macOS.
