“Wow! This is the only dictation app I've ever tried that coped completely with my northern British accent! It's WONDERFUL! Every word I said, spelt correctly too. It worked out of the box! Well done!”
—Sharon, UK, author“As someone with a thick Southern accent, I've struggled with dictation because cleaning up the transcription can be difficult when it mishears my words. I love that this app lets me teach it words so it can better understand me.”
—Jennifer, author“Wow! I'm impressed. It was able to pick up French names and words (spoken with French pronunciation) such as Mademoiselle and Archambault. I thought I'd need to add those to the dictionary.”
—Méline Goulet, authorFictate is built around one thing: a reliable, effortless path from your voice to your manuscript.
“Added my first dictionary word, and the entire transcript was INSTANTLY updated perfectly. I just about swooned.”
—Elena, authorAdd your characters and invented words — or paste in a chapter or your entire manuscript and let Fictate learn them — so they’re spelled your way every single time.
Your words become clear, readable text you can copy, email, or keep polishing.
Optional AI-powered cleanup. Teach it your formatting and style, and it tidies transcripts the way you would — or turn it off entirely.
Keep your story structure in front of you while you dictate, scene after scene.
iPhone, Android, and your browser on Mac or PC — one account, everything in sync.
Dictate your fiction straight into Scrivener, Word, Google Docs — wherever your story lives.
“I've only used this app for about a day, but I'm already so impressed with it! I previously had to use multiple apps/tools (with multiple subscriptions) to do what Fictate does — and Fictate does it better. Loving this app so much!!”
—Laura, author“I've dictated about 700 words today and the quality of transcription is truly amazing... I am in love with this app already!”
—Claire, author“This app has given me the confidence to use dictation as a regular part of my writing routine. I love the app.”
—Jane Bettany, authorMost dictation tools are built for email and to-do lists. Fictate is built for fiction — for the novelist ready to speak their story onto the page.
“It just works. Rather than fidgeting with the app, I'm able to just login and start dictating and transcribing. It's great for beginners like me.”
—Cliff Hamrick, LPC-S, author
