What it does
Everything a take needs — captured, labeled, routed.
DictateHub isn't just a recorder. It's the console that gets your audio where it belongs, named the right way, every time.
Tag every take
Define your own index fields, filled by hand, by barcode scan, or by live database lookup — then auto-named from your template.
Connect your data
Look up field values over a REST API, a REST proxy, or a direct Postgres/MySQL connection. Load a work queue and cruise through jobs.
Export anywhere
Local folder, iCloud Drive, Files, or any S3-compatible bucket — with ETag/MD5 verification so the bytes that left match the bytes that arrived.
The workflow
Four steps, then it's out of your hands.
Drive the whole thing with a foot pedal — record, stop, and quick-export without touching the screen.
Scan or look up
Scan a barcode or pull values from your database to pre-fill the index fields for this take.
Record
Capture audio with a real waveform and meters. Pause and append more whenever you need to.
Name from template
DictateHub builds a consistent, sortable filename from your fields, date, time, and sequence.
Export & verify
Send it to your destination and confirm the upload with an ETag/MD5 check. Done.
Index fields
Every recording carries the data that makes it useful.
Job number, patient ID, location, claim number — whatever you define. Populated the fastest way available, never retyped.
- Manual entry or a static default for the fields that rarely change.
- Per-recording prompts so you never forget a required value.
- Barcode scan auto-fills a field straight from a label.
- Database lookup pulls the rest by barcode or key from your backend.
Destinations
It lands where your workflow already lives.
Quick-export to your default destination straight from the foot pedal — and know it arrived intact.
- S3-compatible buckets — AWS S3, MinIO, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, DigitalOcean Spaces.
- Apple destinations — iCloud Drive, the Files app, a local folder.
- Custom app handoff via URL scheme into the next tool in your chain.
- Upload verification with ETag/MD5 on every transfer.
Who it's for
Anyone whose recordings need to be labeled and routed.
If you dictate as part of a real job — and the audio has to land in the right place, tagged the right way — DictateHub was built for you.

Privacy by architecture
Your data stays yours — because there's nowhere else for it to go.
DictateHub operates no servers that collect your recordings or metadata. The privacy story isn't a policy bolted on — it's how the app is built.
- Recordings stay on your device until you choose to export them.
- Lookups and exports go to endpoints you configure — directly, never through us.
- Credentials live in the iOS Keychain, never transmitted to us.
- No third-party ad or tracking SDKs. Payments go through Apple.
