Letterly

Turn speech into perfect text

Letterly is a voice-to-text application that converts spoken words into structured written content, addressing the difficulty of typing on mobile devices or the time it takes to compose messages, notes, and emails manually. It allows users to dictate text directly into other apps like Gmail, Slack, and Notion, or capture thoughts within the app itself for later use.

The app offers three primary modes: dictation inside any input field, in-app note-taking for ideas and journals, and meeting transcription with speaker separation and summaries. It supports recordings up to 90 minutes, detects over 90 languages automatically, and includes AI-powered rewrites with customizable styles. Additional capabilities include offline recording, translation, text replacements, audio and video upload, and integrations via Zapier and webhooks. The app is available on iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, and the web, with an Apple Watch companion and MCP connectivity for use with AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT.

Letterly is designed for individuals who prefer speaking over typing, whether for personal notes, work communication, or content creation. It offers a free plan with no limits on recordings or AI rewrites, and the homepage does not specify paid editions or seat-based pricing.
