GDPR-Compliant Transcription

Sound familiar?
You dictate – and the cloud is listening
Most transcription apps send your audio data to external servers. With confidential client information, this is a risk under attorney-client privilege laws.
You type up briefs yourself
Because you don't trust any cloud service, you transcribe dictations manually. That costs up to 60 minutes per brief.
You pay for multiple separate tools
Dictation app, deadline calendar, fee calculator – separate apps, separate costs, no integration.
Dictate-Expert solves all three problems – in one app, for €8.33 per month.
Your Swiss army knife for daily professional life
Four tools you need every day – in one app, entirely on your device.
Offline Transcription
Dictate in the courtroom, on a plane, or during a client meeting – the app transcribes instantly, even without a single bar of reception.
Instruction Templates
Create templates like 'Brief to the District Court' and prepend them to your dictation – ready for further processing.
Deadline Management
Enter deadlines, set pre-deadlines, receive reminders – locally on your iPhone. One fewer tool on your desk.
Fee Calculator
Calculate RVG and GKG fees (German law) in seconds – during the client meeting, not back at the office.

Coming Soon: Local AI Post-Processing
We are working on a solution where transcripts are fed through a secure tunnel into your own network and processed there by a local AI according to your instructions – cloud quality, without the cloud.
Getting better together
When the speech recognition mistranscribes a word, you can correct it directly in the app and report it to us. Every report feeds into improvement – so the app gets more accurate with each version.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Dictate-Expert.
Yes, 100%. The speech recognition model is installed on your device together with the app. All transcription runs exclusively on your iPhone – no servers, no cloud, no data transfer. The app works perfectly even in courthouses, airplanes, or areas without mobile coverage.
Transcription quality is very good and is influenced by several factors: background noise, dictation speed, clear pronunciation, and dialects. For optimal results, we recommend calm dictation discipline: don't speak too fast, pronounce words clearly, and pause briefly before numbers, dates, and commands like 'new paragraph' or 'new line'. Don't be discouraged – the results are remarkably good even without subsequent AI correction.
You can mark errors directly in the transcription window and enter the correct version. These word pairs (wrong → right) are collected in the app. You can send these corrections to us, and we work to ensure the app no longer makes these mistakes in the future.
Audio transcription and data storage on the device are fully GDPR compliant. However, if you send transcripts via email or copy them to the clipboard, the data leaves the device – this step is your responsibility. We are working intensively on an all-in-one solution where transcripts can be fed into your own network and processed by a local AI in a privacy-compliant way.
Dictate-Expert runs on iPhone with full functionality. Additionally, you can dictate via Apple Watch and Apple CarPlay – each with a simplified, intuitive interface optimized for the situation. Dictate briefs at your desk, notes from your wrist, or memos while driving.
Cloud-based transcription services may offer slightly higher recognition accuracy, but they transfer your sensitive audio data to external servers – a clear privacy risk for professionals bound by confidentiality. Dictate-Expert works entirely offline and GDPR-compliant. The app also offers features no cloud service has: integrated deadline management, a legal fee calculator (for German users), and the ability to dictate directly on Apple Watch and via CarPlay – all in one app.
