A dictation app for iPhone that keeps what you say
Dictation usually types a sentence and forgets it. Notabe turns your speech into a note it titles, tags, connects, and lets you find again — all transcribed on-device.
Dictate, and actually keep it
The built-in dictation key is great for filling in a text field, but the words vanish into whatever app you were using. Notabe treats dictation as capture worth keeping: you speak, Apple's on-device transcription writes it down, and it lands as a note — private, because the audio never leaves your iPhone.
Every dictation is organized for you
A dictated note is still a note, so Notabe files it like one: a clear title and a few tags, applied automatically. You do not name anything or choose a folder — you speak and move on, and the note arrives already labeled and in its place.
Find any dictation later
The point of keeping dictations is finding them again. Semantic search retrieves notes by meaning, so you can describe what you dictated rather than remember the exact words. If you also want system-wide dictation into other apps, see how Notabe compares with Superwhisper. Free to start; Pro adds search and unlimited summaries.
Frequently asked
Is Notabe like the iPhone dictation key?
It uses the same on-device speech recognition, but it does not just drop text into a field and forget it. Every dictation becomes a note that Notabe titles, tags, connects, and makes searchable — so your dictated thoughts are kept, not scattered.
Does my speech get uploaded?
No. Transcription runs on-device, so your audio never leaves your iPhone, and there is no account to create. Only the resulting text is used to title, tag, and search.
Can I dictate long notes?
Yes. Speak as long as you like; when a note runs long, tap Summarize for a short recap. Free includes a few summaries a month, and Pro makes them unlimited.
