Express Dictate is a voice recorder app for iPhone that allows you to dictate directly on your device using the controls. This app is designed to closely mimic the operation of old-style dictation recorders, making it easy and familiar to use.

With Express Dictate, you can record and playback dictation using the controls on your device. You also have the ability to edit, insert, and overwrite recordings as needed. The app offers optional voice-activated recording, which only records while you are speaking, helping to save storage space.

One of the key features of Express Dictate is its ability to automatically compress audio files, reducing upload times and storage requirements. You can send your recordings in compressed wave (wav) or dictation (dct) file formats via FTP, email, and iTunes.

It's worth noting that all files sent by Express Dictate can be transcribed using the free foot pedal controlled transcriber software, Express Scribe Transcription Player Software.

Overall, Express Dictate is a reliable and easy-to-use voice recorder app that will replace your old dictaphone. Its features and compatibility with other software make it a valuable tool for dictation and transcription.
