About DictationFlow
A focused practice tool for people who write from speech.
DictationFlow converts a supplied passage into spoken practice at a target pace. The objective is simple: make each session easy to start, control and repeat.
Outcome: learners complete repeatable sessions in which writing follows a controlled voice pace.
Problem and response
Shorthand learners often need the same passage at several speeds. Typists and handwriting learners need a pace that challenges them without making the exercise unmanageable. Fixed audio can be useful, but finding the right subject, length and speed adds friction before the real work begins.
DictationFlow removes that search. Paste text you are allowed to use, choose a target WPM, and practise with the voice available in your browser or operating system. The aim is not to replace a teacher, course or official examination recording. It is to provide a quiet practice desk between lessons.
DictationFlow does not perform speech recognition.
The software reads supplied text aloud; the human listens and writes. It does not record meetings, create automatic notes or claim to measure certified stenography speed.
What “target WPM” means
DictationFlow controls a target cadence, but audible timing can vary with the selected browser voice, word length and device. Use one voice and device for comparable repeated practice. For formal testing, follow the examining body’s current instructions and use its authorised material.
Design principles
A focused core before broader scope.
The product prioritises one outcome: complete a useful session without advertising, account setup or workflow complexity.
No account
The current tool works without profiles, passwords, feeds or cloud synchronisation.
Plain claims
Target pace is described honestly. There are no invented success rates or exam guarantees.
Inclusive by use
Stenography comes first, while typing and handwriting use the same underlying practice loop.
Who it serves
Three primary practice outcomes.
Users select the material and pace that match the required outcome.
Stenography & shorthand
Hide the source, take continuous dictation, reveal the passage and review missed outlines.
Stenography guide →Typing & transcription
Type what the voice delivers, then compare the result locally with the supplied passage.
Typing guide →Handwriting & study
Use a slower pace to practise legibility, note taking stamina or written recall.
