Dictanote vs Voice In

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.

Voice In is a browser extension that turns speech into text in web text fields, placing recognized words at the cursor in real time. It is available for Chrome and Edge on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chromebooks, and supports more than 50 languages and 100 dialects. Built-in voice commands can add punctuation or paragraphs and correct common dictation errors. The maker says it supports more than 10,000 websites and lists 268 tested apps; some listed apps require Plus Advanced Mode. The free plan provides 60 minutes of dictation per day. Voice In Plus adds unlimited dictation, Advanced Mode, custom voice commands, a Dictation Box, language switching, case changes, and premium support. AI Transforms can polish selected text or apply a customized style; the maker says only selected text is sent to an AI model and is not stored by Voice In. Dictation requires an active internet connection and does not work offline. Its privacy policy says dictated audio and transcript text are processed using browser speech-to-text and are not sent to Voice In servers.
