Speak on your phone. Paste on your PC.

How the text gets to your PC

Three stations, all inside your own network. No outside service is listening.

1. 1

   Phone records

   Press the button, speak, stop. The app stores the recording and sends it to your Diktat server.

2. 2

   Your computer transcribes

   The Diktat server runs on a Windows PC or server of yours and turns the recording into text with Whisper.

3. 3

   The text is there

   The text lands in your PC’s clipboard – or arrives by email. You choose the target in the app.

What Diktat does

One button, big targets

Record and stop on one big button, pause and resume below it. Time and level meter show that the microphone hears you. Optionally recording starts as soon as you open the app.

Whisper on your computer

Recognition uses whisper.cpp with the large-v3-turbo model – with punctuation, even for long recordings. How fast depends on your computer. Set to German by default; the language is one setting on the server.

Straight to the clipboard

The small text receiver runs on your PC. The server sends it the finished text, and you paste it into any program with Ctrl+V. Several PCs are possible, for example “office” and “home”.

Or by email

The server emails the text to the address set in the app. The subject shows date, time and the first words. If something fails, the recording comes as an attachment.

Nothing gets lost

Every recording stays on the phone until the server has confirmed it. If the PC is off, the server holds the text for up to 24 hours and delivers it later.

Runs in the background

Recording continues when the screen turns off or you switch apps. Pause and resume continue the same recording.

Record without network

Out of Wi-Fi range? You can still record. As soon as the server is reachable, the app sends everything by itself.

Windows tablets too

A separate recording program for Windows tablets sends to the same server. It comes with the server package (target: email).

Set up in three steps

Set it up once, then just speak. The detailed guide (in German) comes with the server package as README.md.

1. Set up the Diktat server

   On a Windows PC or Windows server that stays on: unpack the server package, add whisper.cpp and the Whisper model (about 550 MB), and set a token in diktat-server.ini. Runs as a Windows service.

2. Text receiver on the PC

   On the PC where the text should arrive, start the text receiver. It shows its address and token – both go, with a name, into the [pcs] section of the server configuration. Email only? Skip this step.

3. Set up the app

   Install the app, enter server address and token under Einstellungen (settings), tap Verbindung testen (test connection). Then choose “PC-Zwischenablage” and the PC name – done.

Important: the connection inside the network is not encrypted. Diktat is meant for your own network; from outside only via VPN – never open the port to the internet.

Download

Everything is free. For the clipboard you need all three parts, for email only app and server.
