Diktafon vs Voicenotes

Diktafon is a voice memo app that transcribes and summarizes recordings on the device, then groups them into topic-based cassettes. It uses Whisper for transcription and Qwen for summaries; the models download on first run and can be changed in Settings. Each memo’s spoken language is detected, so recordings in different languages can sit in one cassette. Tap a transcript word to jump playback to that point in the recording. Cassettes can be exported as archives with audio and readable text, and imported content is added without overwriting existing items. The privacy policy says recordings, transcripts, summaries, labels, and settings remain in private app storage, and that the app collects and shares no data. Its stated network activity is limited to model downloads over HTTPS from Hugging Face and its CDN at the user’s request. The project is designed by Jaromír Janisch and is free and open source, with support for Android, iOS, Linux, and macOS.

Voicenotes records online and in-person meetings and turns them into transcripts, notes, summaries, action items, and next steps. It works with meeting apps without a bot joining the call, and users can ask AI questions about information in their conversations. Transcription supports 100+ languages. The free Basic plan costs nothing and includes 100 weekly transcription minutes, 30-day history, and unlimited recordings. Pro is $9 a month, with unlimited recordings, transcription minutes, history, audio imports, and storage, plus advanced integrations. Enterprise is $24 a month and adds SSO and SCIM, consent management, admin sharing controls, custom CRM and dialer integrations, and a dedicated success manager with priority support SLAs. Voicenotes lists web, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android availability, as well as a Chrome extension. Integrations include Glean, Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack Huddle, MCP, Zapier, webhooks, Readwise, Notion, Obsidian, Todoist, and Things 3. The company says it encrypts data, is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant, and does not use recordings or transcripts to train AI models.
