Dictanote vs Speechify

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.

Speechify is a text-to-speech product available on Android, iOS, macOS, web, Windows, and through an API. Its listed capabilities include voice cloning, commercial use, and MP3 audio export, with support for 60 languages. The free plan costs nothing and includes 10 voices with a maximum speed of 1.5x. Premium costs $29 a month, billed monthly, and lists more than 1,000 voices, 60+ languages, and a maximum speed of 5x. Speechify was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in Miami, Florida, United States. The plans differ in voice count and maximum playback speed; Premium also specifies its language offering as 60+ languages. Buyers can weigh those limits against the listed platform access, language support, and MP3 export when choosing a plan.
