Dictation App

A browser-based voice notes app for recording speech, saving notes, and using Gemini to turn rough transcriptions into cleaner written notes.

Problem

Spoken ideas are fast to capture but hard to reuse when they stay as raw audio or messy transcripts.

Solution

Dictation App gives users a focused recording interface, stores notes locally in the browser, and uses Gemini to polish raw speech into readable text.

Features

• Browser microphone recording with MediaRecorder
• Live recording status and waveform feedback

• Gemini API integration for note polishing
