About this app

Fictate is the dictation app built for one person: you, the fiction author with a story to tell.

Most dictation tools are made for emails and meeting notes. Fictate is made for fiction. Dictate your scenes aloud, and Fictate transcribes your voice into text you can shape into your manuscript — so you can write more in less time and build a sustainable fiction-writing career through the power of dictation.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Custom dictionary — Add your characters, places, and invented words so they're spelled right every time.
• Dictate naturally — Tap the mic and start speaking your words of fiction.
• Transcripts — Your dictation comes back as text you can copy, email, or keep editing.
• Cleanup Tool (Author & Fictator plans) — Teach it your formatting and style, and it tidies every transcript the way you would.
• Outlines (Author & Fictator plans) — Keep your story structure in front of you while you dictate, scene after scene.
• Write anywhere — Your transcripts, recordings, dictionary, and outlines sync across your devices and your web browser, all tied to your account.

BUILT FOR YOUR WRITING CAREER

Whether you're drafting your first novel or your 150th, Fictate helps you write faster and more sustainably — protecting your time, your body, and your creative energy so you can keep telling stories for years to come.

What’s new

What's new in 1.0.4:

• If another app takes the microphone mid-recording, Fictate™ now buzzes, tells you, and reclaims the mic the moment it can — no more silent losses at the lock screen.
• New option: keep your screen awake while recording (Account & Settings).
• Spoken punctuation fixes: "comma, end quote" always lands correctly, including before flipped speech tags like "said Connor."
• Faster, steadier Fictate™ Anywhere transcription.
