Talk through your essay, capture notes, think out loud — and get clean text in any app. Free to start.
Ideas often come faster when you talk them through than when you stare at a blinking cursor. Dictately lets you draft essays, capture notes and brainstorm by voice, then tidy up on the keyboard — which, for most people, is far quicker than typing from scratch.
Say what you mean in plain language and let Dictately turn it into clean, punctuated text. A messy spoken draft you can edit beats a blank page you can't start. Get the argument down first, then shape it.
It works in Google Docs, Word, Notion or wherever you write, so there's nothing new to learn.
Capture a thought before it's gone, summarise what you've just read out loud, or plan an essay by rambling and letting the tool catch it.
For international students, automatic detection across 99+ languages means you can switch between English and your first language without changing a setting.
Start free with 2,000 words a month, and it's £6.99 if you need more — about the price of a coffee. One honest note: Dictately is a writing aid for getting your own ideas down faster, not a shortcut around doing the work, so use it the way your institution allows.
