Dictation

Speak Dhivehi faster than you can type it.

Most people speak Dhivehi far faster than they type it in Thaana. Dictation is the input for that: speak, watch the line appear, then edit it like anything else you wrote.

People ask it to

“Dictate a memo on the walk back” “Speak the first draft, fix it after” “Catch the sentence before it fades”

Dictation — live

Live Dhivehi dictation

What it does

Low latency on purpose

Tuned for live capture, so the text keeps up with the sentence instead of arriving after it.

An input, not a product

Dictate into a draft, then keep editing in chat. There is no separate file to go and find.

Pause as much as you like

Thinking out loud is how people actually dictate. Stopping mid-sentence does not end the capture.

The cheaper of the two

Dictation goes further on a plan than transcription does, because it is meant for minutes of speech rather than hours.

Dictation or speech to text?

Two tools for two different jobs. Picking the wrong one costs you either accuracy or money.

Use dictation when

  • You are the one talking, right now
  • You want the text as you speak, to edit immediately
  • It is a memo, a note, or a first draft, measured in minutes
  • Costs less per minute than transcription, because it is built for short bursts

Use speech to text when

  • The recording already exists
  • More than one person is speaking and labels matter
  • It is a meeting, interview, or session, measured in hours
  • Built for hours of audio at a time, with speaker labels included

How it works

  1. 01

    Start a capture

    Open dictation instead of uploading a file. No setup, no file picker.

  2. 02

    Speak in Dhivehi

    The line appears as you go, and the text is editable the moment you stop.

  3. 03

    Hand it to write or translate

    Turn the spoken draft into a formal letter, a summary, or an English version.

Who reaches for it

Officers on the move

The note you take between the counter and the desk, before it is gone.

Writers who think out loud

A loose first draft in your own voice, then one pass for formality.

Anyone slow in Thaana

If the keyboard is what is slowing the work down, skip the keyboard.
