Keep in mind that with many dictation apps, a recording of your voice is uploaded to the company’s servers for software-based transcription.Ĭonverting live speech is one thing, but if you have a collection of previously recorded memos you want to translate into text, look for an app or service that allows you to upload audio files for transcription. Free or inexpensive apps like the $3 Voice Assistant, Dragon Anywhere ($15 a month) or the older (but free) Dragon Dictation also convert speech to text.
