Plans

Dictation is free, unlimited, and runs on your own machine. That doesn't change and isn't a trial. Two things can't run locally, and those are what the paid plans are for: an AI cleanup pass, and cloud transcription.

What each plan includes

Free needs you to sign in, and nothing else — no card, no trial timer.

"New features first" means something specific: a new feature belongs to Pro for one release, then opens to the plan it was always meant for. Meeting notes is the first one — Pro has it in 0.3.0, and Plus gets it in 0.4.0. It is never used to withhold something a plan already includes.

Both paid plans are two months cheaper paid annually — $30 and $110 a year — and both start with 7 days free.

For a team, Teams is everything in Pro for each person, at $11 a seat a month or $110 a seat a year at its launch price, with an admin console that shows counts and never content. Enterprise is a conversation rather than a checkout button, priced on your seat count. See Teams & Enterprise.

One thing worth knowing about Plus

Plus adds the AI cleanup pass, but transcription still runs on whichever engine you have installed — so it hears whatever that engine hears.

Tiune Instant and Tiune Turbo are English-only. If you dictate in another language on Plus, use Tiune Multilingual, which covers 99 of them on your own machine. On Pro the question doesn't arise: transcription happens in the cloud either way.

Why mixing languages mid-sentence is Pro-only

On Pro, a single sentence can contain more than one language — start in Urdu, land in English, drop a French phrase in the middle, and the whole thing comes out right in one pass, with nothing to switch between.

This sits on Pro for a structural reason rather than a commercial one. The on-device engines commit to one language per window of audio and cannot revise that choice partway through a sentence — no local model of any size does. Cloud transcription detects per utterance instead, and the detection runs inside the utterance, so a sentence is allowed to change its mind.

How this works in practice — and how to choose what script the result comes out in — is in Languages & Scripts.

What it costs you in privacy

Different plans send different things, and it's worth being exact about it:

• Free — nothing leaves your machine. No audio, no text.
• Plus — the transcribed text is sent for cleanup at the end of a dictation. Your audio never leaves your machine.
• Pro — audio is sent for transcription, but only when you've turned cloud transcription on. In Online, offline backup, English dictation stays on your computer and only other languages go to the cloud. Meeting audio, when you take meeting notes in an online mode, goes to a different provider for transcription.

The three privacy guarantees — no stored audio, no training on your words, no one reading them — hold on every plan. See Privacy for the full picture.

• Bought on the website? Sign in to the app with the email address you paid with, and the plan attaches to your account.
• Changes arrive everywhere. A plan change reaches every app you're signed in to within seconds.
• On your phone, sign in with the same account and your plan is there. See Android.
• Have a code? A referral or partner code goes under Have a code? in the plans. Your own code, and what it earns you, is covered in Referrals & Partners.
