## Resumen

Dictato is a Mac dictation app that runs entirely on-device. You hold a hotkey, speak, and cleaned-up text — punctuated, capitalised, paragraph-broken and with filler words removed — lands at your cursor in whatever app you are using. It requires macOS 14 or later on Apple Silicon and costs 19.99 € once after a 7-day free trial.

## Precios y planes

7-day free trial with the full app and no locked features, then 19.99 € once for a lifetime licence. No subscription, no renewal, unlimited dictation, all four engines included. Licence covers one Mac at a time (movable up to 3 times per 30 days). 14-day refund, VAT included.

## Funciones y capacidades clave

- **100% on-device processing:** Listening, punctuation, paragraph breaks and cleanup all run on your Mac with no cloud step, so dictation works offline and no audio leaves the machine.
- **Finished text at the cursor:** Dictato punctuates, capitalises and structures your speech, drops filler words, and formats spoken numbers, dates, times and amounts before the text appears in any app.
- **Four switchable engines:** Choose between a speed-tuned Apple Silicon engine, a 99-language engine, a lighter multilingual option, or Apple's own model — switchable in one click without restarting your flow.
- **Per-app and per-website profiles:** Assign a different tone, language and engine to each application or website, and let Dictato switch automatically when you change window — including Safari, Chrome and Arc rules.
- **Local history and audio archive:** Every dictation is stored on your machine with its audio and raw transcript, fully searchable, with one-click deletion and no syncing.
- **Unlimited dictation, no account:** No word cap, no minute limit, no fair-use clause and no sign-up required; the app never stops on a silence timer.

## Casos de uso principales

- **Dictating prompts, commit messages and code review notes (Developer):** Speak directly into the terminal, editor and AI chat without leaving the keyboard, with a profile that keeps verification verbatim and auto-correct out of the way in code blocks.
- **Getting a first draft out at speaking speed (Writer):** Dictate long-form drafts with no time limit and no sentence cut short because you paused to think, then edit the punctuated text in place.
- **Lecture notes and essay drafts (Student):** Use the same dictation flow across Notion, Word, Google Docs and Obsidian for reading summaries, essay drafts and class notes.
- **Keeping sensitive dictation local (Clinician or lawyer):** Draft notes where no audio and no client or patient data ever leaves the Mac, which removes the usual third-party data flow from the equation.

## Fortalezas

- Runs entirely on-device, so it works offline and keeps sensitive dictation local
- One-time 19.99 € price instead of a monthly subscription
- No word cap, no minute limit, no account and no silence timeout
- Per-app and per-website profiles switch tone, language and engine automatically
- Local searchable history with audio and raw transcript retained on your machine

## Limitaciones

- Requires macOS 14+ on Apple Silicon; Intel Macs are not supported
- It is a live dictation tool, not a batch transcriber, so it cannot process existing audio files
- You must grant microphone and accessibility permissions at setup
- The licence covers one Mac at a time (movable up to 3 times per 30 days)

## Preguntas frecuentes

### Does Dictato send my audio anywhere?
No. Listening, proofreading and formatting all run on your Mac, so dictation keeps working offline and no audio is uploaded — the history and audio archive also stay local and are never synced.

No. After a 7-day free trial with the complete app, Dictato costs 19.99 € once for a lifetime licence with lifetime updates, VAT included, and a 14-day refund is offered.

### Can I use Dictato to transcribe existing audio files?
No. Dictato is a live dictation tool: you press a hotkey, speak, and text lands at your cursor. For hours of recorded interviews or meetings, a batch transcription tool is the better fit.

### Which Macs are supported?
macOS 14 or later on Apple Silicon (M1 and above). Intel Macs are not supported. Setup requires microphone and accessibility permissions, plus automation only if you use website rules or music pausing.
