Question 1

How does Dicta-Notes identify different speakers?

Accepted Answer

Dicta-Notes uses Google Gemini 2.5 to analyze your recorded session and automatically differentiate and label 10+ speakers. After transcription, you can quickly rename speaker labels for perfect accuracy across the entire transcript.

Question 2

Can I use Dicta-Notes for meetings in multiple languages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Transcription works natively in 130+ languages and detects the spoken language automatically. After transcription, you can optionally translate the text to another language for sharing or collaboration.

Question 3

How do I share a transcription with others?

Accepted Answer

Export your transcript from the session details page as PDF, Microsoft Word (.docx), plain text (.txt), or Markdown (.md), then share the file. Live share links are not available in the current version.

Question 4

What happens if I lose my internet connection while recording?

Accepted Answer

Dicta-Notes supports offline recording: if your connection drops, recording continues locally, and you can save the meeting when you are back online. While you are online during live recording, the app may also upload short audio segments to your account as a cloud safety backup (extra battery and data use when not on Wi‑Fi). If the browser or device fails mid-session but those segments were uploaded, open the Transcribe page and use Interrupted cloud backup to recover into a new session.

Question 5

How secure are my meeting transcriptions?

Accepted Answer

Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Authentication and storage are powered by Firebase for enterprise-grade security. You choose when to save a completed session and what to export. When you are online during recording, short backup segments may be stored in your account for crash recovery (see our Privacy Policy); successful recovery deletes those backup segments from backup storage.

Question 6

Can I edit speaker names after a transcription?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Edit speaker names directly in the session details view; changes apply to all segments for that speaker throughout the transcript.

Question 7

What's the best way to record for high accuracy?

Accepted Answer

For online meetings (Zoom/Teams/Meet), choose System/Tab Audio and ensure 'Share audio' is enabled. For in-person meetings, use a microphone near the speakers and reduce background noise.

Question 8

Do I need to download an app?

Accepted Answer

No app store required. Install Dicta-Notes directly from your browser in seconds — it works like a native app on any phone, tablet, or desktop. Once installed, it records offline and syncs when you're back online.

Question 9

How do I delete my account?

Accepted Answer

You can delete your account permanently from the Settings page. Go to Settings > Account > Delete Account. This action is irreversible and will remove all your data, including transcripts and subscription details.

Question 10

How does the app translate into my language?

Accepted Answer

Dicta-Notes automatically detects your browser's language preference and uses Google Gemini 2.5 Flash and Google Cloud Translation to translate the entire interface in real-time. The moment you open the app, everything appears in your native language—buttons, labels, instructions, and more—across 130+ supported languages. You can also manually switch languages anytime using the translate button in the header. No configuration needed.

Question 11

Can I scan a physical document with my camera?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On the Documents page, use the Scan with camera option to photograph one or more pages of a physical document directly from your device camera. You can also upload existing photos from your gallery. Dicta-Notes supports up to 10 images per scan — useful for multi-page contracts, letters, or printed reports. Gemini AI reads the images directly and returns a summary, key points, and action items just like a file upload.

Question 12

Can I analyze the content of a meeting transcript?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Open any saved session and go to the Transcript tab. Tap the Analyze transcript button to run AI analysis on the meeting text. Gemini 2.5 Flash returns a summary, key points, and action items inline. The result is also saved to your Documents page so you can review it later.
