AudioPen

Voice notes converted into clearly written text in a chosen style

Visit AudioPen

AudioPen is a voice-to-text tool that transcribes spoken notes and rewrites them into polished drafts, helping users turn rambling or unstructured speech into usable writing. It supports multilingual output, allowing users to speak in one language and write in another, and offers adjustable rewrite intensity to control how closely the output follows the original words.

Key features include a style library with options such as Simple & clear, Formal, Email, and Bullet points, plus custom styles created from a sample of the user's writing. It offers keyboard and hot-key input across iPhone, Android, macOS, and Windows, with text delivered directly into apps like Gmail, Slack, WhatsApp, and Notion. Prime adds unlimited recordings and rewrites, longer recordings, audio file uploads, note combining (SuperSummaries), note restyling, text note processing, unlimited storage, and chat with notes via the AudioPen MCP.

AudioPen is designed for writers, creators, salespeople, lawyers, therapists, and anyone who prefers speaking over typing. It offers a free plan and a one-time paid Prime pass available in yearly and two-year editions, with a single account covering all devices.
