Does DictaFlow process everything on-device the way Blabb does?

DictaFlow's own materials describe local speech recognition and let you choose whether AI cleanup runs locally or in the cloud — local for sensitive content, cloud for stronger formatting. Blabb runs both speech-to-text and AI cleanup on your PC, always. Blabb still contacts one server, for the licence check; a verified subscription keeps dictating for 30 days without reaching it.

Does DictaFlow also work in Citrix/RDP/VDI sessions?

Yes — DictaFlow advertises native Citrix/RDP support through keystroke simulation, similar to Blabb's approach. This is one of the few areas where the two tools compete directly rather than Blabb having a clear edge; if locked-down session support is your main need, both are worth trying.

How does the price compare?

DictaFlow's site lists roughly $5.75/month billed annual ($7/month monthly) in 2026, with a free tier of 2,000 words a month — check its current pricing page. Blabb Free gives you 2,000 words a day, forever, no card; unlimited dictation is USD $4.99/month, USD $49.99/year, or USD $99 once for a lifetime licence, with a 14-day free trial on subscriptions. The prices are close; the bigger difference is what runs where.

Does DictaFlow support other platforms Blabb doesn't?

Yes. DictaFlow runs on Windows, Mac, iPhone, and Android (the mobile apps via Telegram). Blabb is Windows-only by design, since its on-device AI models and locked-down-session keystroke simulation are built specifically for the Windows desktop and enterprise VDI environments.

Blabb vs DictaFlow
An honest comparison

DictaFlow is one of the sharpest modern dictation apps on the market — cross-platform, fast, and it advertises native Citrix/RDP support, the same ground Blabb was built for. The question worth asking it is where the AI cleanup runs. Blabb's answer is on your PC, alongside the speech recognition. As of July 2026 — check current DictaFlow pricing and plans before deciding.

01The honest read

When DictaFlow is right, and when Blabb is

Choose DictaFlow if…

You want a dictation tool across every device you own — Windows, Mac, and mobile through Telegram — and you're satisfied with its answer on where the AI cleanup runs. Its live "actually" correction keyword and app-aware context switching are genuinely distinctive features Blabb doesn't have.

Choose Blabb if…

Nothing about your voice — not the recognition, not the AI cleanup — should leave your PC. Both models ship in the installer and run on your own hardware; the only thing Blabb sends anywhere is the licence check. Add optional Medical and Legal vocabulary plans, six writing styles, spoken retractions and self-correction cleanup, and encrypted local history, all for a comparable monthly price.

Where they genuinely tie

Locked-down Citrix/RDP/VDI support. Both tools use keystroke simulation to type into remote sessions where clipboard redirection is blocked. If that's your only requirement, try both during their free tiers and see which fits your workflow.

Your voice never leaves the machine.

Two weeks free, no training sessions, models included in the download.
