Records Zoom · Teams · Meet · Webex — right from your Mac's menu bar

Meeting notes that don't need a bot — or the cloud.

Dictanta records your video call from your Mac's menu bar — the meeting audio plus your own voice, with no bot joining and nothing uploaded. When the call ends, the summary, action items, and decisions are waiting. iPhone and iPad cover every meeting away from your desk.

How it works

Record. Be present. Done.

There is nothing to set up and nothing to learn. If you can click a menu-bar icon, you can leave every call with clean notes.

Click record in your menu bar

Dictanta lives in your Mac's menu bar. It auto-detects Zoom, Teams, Meet, Webex, Slack, and your browser, and pre-selects "This meeting" — the call's audio plus your own mic. No bot joins the call.

Just be present

Live captions stream while you record, and your transcript saves every 30 seconds. Nobody on the call sees an extra "[Your Name]'s Notetaker" attendee.

Get your notes when the call ends

A short TL;DR, action items — who agreed to do what, and by when — the decisions, and open questions. Click any line and the audio jumps to that exact moment.

Why Dictanta

Private where cloud notetakers can't be.

Three things Dictanta does that the cloud-bot category doesn't.

No bot in your meeting

On a Zoom, Teams, or Meet call? Dictanta on Mac captures the meeting audio plus your own voice — without ever joining the call as a bot. Nothing for the other side to see.

Audio stays on your device

Recording, transcription, summaries, even translation run on-device. Your audio never leaves it — not to us, not to anyone.

Verify every line

Tap any bullet and the audio jumps to the exact moment it was said. Check a quote in two seconds — the one thing no cloud notetaker can do.

Features

Built for people in back-to-back calls.

Every feature serves the same job: capture the conversation, surface the decisions, and let you prove every line against the audio.

Records your video calls — no bot, no cloud

Zoom, Teams, Meet, Webex — captured right from the menu bar: the meeting audio plus your own voice. Pick your source (My voice · This meeting · Another app), and paste a ready-made consent line into the meeting chat with one click.

Notes ready the second you stop

A short TL;DR, action items with owners and deadlines, decisions, and open questions — summaries stream in live, generated on-device by Apple Intelligence.

Never lose a word

Your transcript saves every 30 seconds while you record, so even a mid-recording restart can’t erase it. Hours-long calls still come back with clean action items.

Search everything, jump anywhere

Search titles, transcripts, and summaries from your library — or straight from Spotlight. Press ⌘F to find any word in a transcript and jump hit to hit.

Import, translate, share

Import M4A, MP3, WAV, or AIFF audio and get a transcript automatically. Translate any transcript into 8 languages, on-device. Share as PDF, Word, SRT, Markdown, or JSON.

iPhone and iPad, for everything away from your desk

Record in-person meetings, lectures, and interviews with one tap — live captions in the Dynamic Island, recording from the Action Button or Lock Screen, even with the screen locked. Transcripts and summaries sync back through iCloud.

The Dictanta wedge

Tap a bullet. Hear the moment.

AI notes are only useful if you can trust them. Every Dictanta bullet links to the exact audio span it came from — tap it and the recording jumps to that moment. No more "wait, did they really say that?"

Cloud notetakers summarize, then leave you guessing. Dictanta summarizes, then proves it.

Privacy by default

Your audio never leaves your device. Not even to us.

Dictanta records audio only — never video, and never a pixel of your screen. No ads, no trackers, no analytics, no crash reporting.

Optional iCloud sync covers transcripts and summaries only — your audio is never copied to iCloud. It stays on the device that recorded it.
