How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist Dictanote when students and writers drafting notes, articles, or book content hands-free by voice matters most, and Intelligent Summary+ when legal teams generating issue-organized deposition memos for briefing and trial prep matters most. Trial each on a few real meetings before you commit — the better fit usually shows fast.

An AI-powered deposition summarization tool from Esquire Deposition Solutions that turns legal deposition transcripts into topic-organized summaries with hyperlinked page/line citations.
Dictanote is a dictation-powered note-taking app that lets you write notes by speaking instead of typing. Its core voice-typing engine transcribes speech to text in real time across more than 50 languages and 80+ dialects, and supports voice commands for inserting punctuation, paragraphs, and symbols, as well as keyboard shortcuts for starting, stopping, and switching dictation languages. Notes sync across devices and can be organized into notebooks, with offline editing available (though live dictation needs connectivity). Its AI layer, AudioScribe, takes raw voice notes and rewrites them into clean, summarized text—automatically adding punctuation and stripping filler words, repetitions, and "umms." Users can choose summarization levels, apply custom writing styles (such as a business memo or to-do list), dictate in one language and output in another, and connect output to other apps via Zapier or webhooks. It targets writers, students, journalists, and professionals who prefer speaking over typing. Dictanote also offers a companion Chrome extension, Voice In, for dictating into other web apps.

Intelligent Summary+ is an AI-powered deposition summarization service from Esquire Deposition Solutions, launched May 30, 2024. Rather than capturing audio itself, it ingests completed deposition transcripts — including transcripts not produced by Esquire — and uses patent-pending AI built on external Large Language Model providers to analyze them. The output is a single DOCX document containing the full transcript alongside several layers of analysis: a Deposition Abstract encapsulating the proceeding, one to five pages of extracted Key Admissions, a Page/Line Summary organized by topic with hyperlinked page/line citations back to the source dialogue, and a Deposition Memo that organizes the summary thematically around key legal and factual issues. The system parses deponent names and gender pronouns and applies two layers of human quality control. Esquire states the platform is SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2013 certified, and HIPAA compliant, and that data is not retained for AI training. It targets litigators and legal teams assessing, preparing, briefing, and trying cases, with same-day turnaround available for transcripts received during business hours.
