FAQ

Your voice doesn't. Dictation and file transcription run on your Mac, and you can check that yourself: turn off your wifi and carry on working. Text is different when you use a Wavenote+ feature. To rewrite a dictation, summarise a note or answer a question about your notes, Wavenote sends the text involved to our server and on to an AI service that writes the result. Our server doesn't save that text. It keeps a count of requests, not what was in them.

There is a 48-hour trial of the whole app, with no card and no account. After that Wavenote is $4.90 once. Only the AI rewriting is a subscription, and that subscription is called Wavenote+; it includes the app, so it is a second price rather than an addition to the first. Rewriting is the only part that costs anything to run.

You get your raw transcript inserted instead. Every failure path does this: no network, timeout, expired licence, rate limit. Rewriting failing must never cost you your words.

Eighteen European languages, plus Japanese, Korean, and Chinese in both scripts. Twenty-two in total, and English is the best supported today.

If your Mac has an Apple chip and is on macOS 26 or later, yes. The older Intel Macs, no.
