Date: 26 November 2025
Time: 12:30 – 13:30 (CET)
Location: Online, via Zoom
Join us for a hands-on workshop where we introduce Dictaphone – a new UCloud application that allows researchers to securely record and transcribe interviews directly from their own devices.
In this session, you will learn how to:
- Use Dictaphone to record interviews and conversations directly from your laptop or smartphone. The recordings in Dictaphone are streamed in real time to the secure UCloud back end – ensuring that no data is stored locally on your device, making the app ideal for working with sensitive data.
- Transcribe recordings automatically within the same workflow. Dictaphone has built-in transcription functionality, enabling you to easily convert speech to text and streamline your interview process.
- How to make the most of Dictaphone — with tips, extra features, and real research use cases.
Target audience: Researchers across all departments, students, those interested in AI.
Technical Level: Basic to Intermediate – beginner-friendly and requires no technical background.

About the Dictaphone application:
Dictaphone is a new application being introduced on UCloud this November. It allows researchers to securely record and transcribe interviews and conversations directly from their own devices – making the interview process easier and more time-efficient.
Key features:
- Record directly from your device
Use Dictaphone to capture interviews and conversations straight from your laptop or smartphone. The user interface is simple to use and optimised for viewing on both small and large screens. - No local storage – full data security
All recordings are streamed live to the secure UCloud backend. Nothing is saved on your device, which means you can safely handle sensitive data without worrying about your data being stored in an unsafe location. - Built-in transcription
Dictaphone includes built-in transcription functionality, enabling you to easily convert speech to text and streamline your interview process. - Speaker recognition
The app can distinguish between multiple speakers in the same recording, making transcripts easier to read and analyse for interviews or group discussions.
The Dictaphone app is designed for researchers across all disciplines who record audio as part of their work. It supports different workflows – whether you prefer to transcribe after each question in your research process or after the full interview, you can use Dictaphone. You can also switch languages, making it ideal for both Danish and international projects.
Keep an eye on updates here or in the UCloud app catalogue to be the first to know when Dictaphone becomes available.
