Hey folks! I'm Aviv, the maker behind Dictura 🙌🏽
I built this because of a gap that frustrated me every day. As an engineer, half my workday is typing Slack/WhatsApp/Telegram messages, PR descriptions, emails, code, code reviews, prompts, etc. I type at about 40 words per minute. I speak at over 150. That's a 3.7x productivity gap between how fast I think and how fast I can write.
I tried other dictation tools- some handle the basics well. But none of them solved a problem I deal with every day: I don't always write in the same language I think in. I work with teams across multiple countries, and I was constantly dictating in my language, then opening a translator, then pasting the result back. Three tools for one task.
Dictura does it all in one step: hold a key, speak naturally- in the language you think in — and release. Clean, formatted text appears wherever your cursor is — Gmail, Slack, VS Code, Cursor, WhatsApp, anywhere. Need it in another language? It comes out naturally in theirs. 60+ languages, context-aware, built into the core. You can also type-to-translate when you can't speak out loud.
Privacy was non-negotiable. Dictura has two engines: on-device (WhisperKit- audio never leaves your Mac, free and unlimited) and cloud (99+ languages, near-human accuracy). We never store your audio, transcriptions, or translations.
The free tier is genuinely useful, unlimited on-device transcription, translation, and hands-free mode. No account needed to start. Paid plans begin at $5.99/mo for cloud accuracy.
I'd love to hear: what's your biggest friction point with typing day to day? Have you tried voice-to-text before- and if so, what made you stop using it?
Thanks for checking out Dictura. Happy to answer anything.
