Sometimes it is faster to talk than to type. Voice dictation is available in the web app, the iPhone and iPad app, and the Mac app, and it is part of Caliu Pro.
How it works
- Tap the microphone button in the editor toolbar.
- Speak. A waveform shows that Caliu is listening.
- Stop when you are done. Caliu transcribes your speech and polishes it into readable markdown (cleaning up filler and adding structure), then you review the result and insert it into your note at the cursor.
On iPhone, an ongoing dictation stays visible on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with a stop button, so you can keep talking while doing something else.
Good to know
- A connection is required. Transcription happens on the server, so dictation does not work offline.
- Microphone access must be allowed the first time. If you denied it, re-enable it in your browser or system settings.
- There is a daily usage limit to keep the service fast for everyone.
Your regular notes remain fully offline as always; only the dictation itself needs the network.
