The problem
The dictation built into phones is fine for a text message and frustrating for anything longer. It mishears names, stops listening when you pause, and leaves you to fix the punctuation.
What I built
Scribe is a web app you add to your home screen. Tap once to record, tap again to stop, and the transcript is on your clipboard about a second later. Live mode notices pauses on the device and transcribes phrase by phrase, so text appears while you’re still talking.
A personal dictionary teaches it the names and jargon you use. An optional cleanup pass removes the “um”s and adds paragraphs while keeping your wording, and every transcript stays in a history on your own device. The speech API key lives on a small server and never reaches the browser.
Result
I use it every day for notes and messages.
