Pick the mode you need.

The same rough spoken input can become a clean paragraph, meeting recap, email draft, SOP draft, structured note, transcript, or custom output.

Choose the processing path that fits the work.

Subscriptions include a ready-to-use monthly credit allowance for cloud transcription and AI processing. You can also use supported local models on your machine or BYOK.

Capture the right audio source.

Microphone

Capture your own dictation, notes, explanations, and voice input. This is the most common case for everyday work.

Computer audio

Capture audio from calls, recordings, or other on-screen sources where appropriate.

Microphone + computer

Capture both sides of a conversation when you need the full context.

Meeting and system audio should be captured with consent.

Add your personal vocabulary to improve transcription accuracy.

Names, acronyms, products, and work-specific terms are remembered so DirektText can better understand the words you actually use.

Turn keywords into phrases and messages you frequently use.

Set up automatic find and replace to turn trigger words into phrases and messages you often send.

Build cleanup and regex rules for repeated text fixes.

Format common spoken forms automatically, then add more specific regex rules for names, phrases, punctuation, numbers, or recurring wording patterns.

Browse past recordings in the history view.

Find previous recordings, copy the text again, or change the format by reprocessing it with a different mode. You can also name recordings to make them easier to find.

Try DirektText free for 14 days.

Includes 30 credits, enough for up to 10 hours of dictation, depending on model and mode.
