Voice to text app
The voice to text app that writes for you.
You talk. AudioPen writes it up. Ramble, backtrack, lose your train of thought, and it still hands you clean text in your style and your language.
No credit card required.
Loved by over 200,000 people.
Transcription is only step one
Most apps stop at the transcript. AudioPen keeps going.
Raw transcripts hand you back exactly what came out of your mouth. Every filler word. Every detour. Every sentence you abandoned halfway through. That is fine for a record. It is not the same as writing.
AudioPen does both. It captures everything you say, faithfully. Then it reshapes the transcript into something clean, in the style you set. Your ideas, without the noise.
How it works
Talk, and get finished text.
Speak
Record a note inside AudioPen, voice type into another app on your Mac or iPhone, or upload an audio file you already have.
It writes it up
AudioPen transcribes what you said, then rewrites it into clear, structured text in the style and language you pick. Or keep the plain transcript. Your call.
Keep it or send it
Save a note to your library to find later, restyle it, or combine notes into one summary. Push it to Notion or Google Docs with Zapier.
You stay in control
Decide how much it rewrites.
Most AI writing gives itself away in a sentence. AudioPen lets you set how heavy the edit is, so the text never stops sounding like a person wrote it.
A light touch
Fix the grammar, tidy the obvious slips, and leave your words alone.
A real restructure
Reorganize a rambling note so it flows, with your points in an order that makes sense.
In your own voice
Feed it a sample of your writing and it matches your tone, so the result still sounds like you.
Who it is for
Made for people who think out loud.
Writers
Dictate the draft of an article on a walk. Upload past work and AudioPen writes in your voice.
Doctors and consultants
Speak your notes the moment a session ends and get them back structured.
Founders and sales
Debrief a meeting you could not record. Five minutes of talking becomes a clean summary.
Multilingual users
Speak in one language and get polished text in another. 58 languages in, more than 100 out.
Creators
Turn a voice memo into a newsletter, a script, or posts for LinkedIn, X, or Slack.
Anyone who thinks out loud
Brain dump what is in your head and let AudioPen pull out the parts worth keeping.
Everywhere you work
One account, every device.
Use AudioPen on the web, on Mac, on iPhone and iPad, on Apple Watch, on Android, and as a Chrome extension. One Prime purchase covers all of them. On Mac and iPhone, transcription can run fully on your device when you enable offline mode. And on Mac and iPhone, you can use AudioPen as a voice keyboard: press a hot key, speak, and the words land wherever your cursor is, inside any app. There is no Windows app yet.
FAQ
Common questions
- What is a voice to text app?
- A voice to text app turns spoken words into written text. AudioPen goes a step further. It transcribes what you say, then rewrites it into clear, finished text in the style and language you choose.
- Can I convert a voice memo or audio file to text?
- Yes. Record inside AudioPen, or upload an existing audio file, and you get a transcript plus an optional rewrite and summary. File uploads are a Prime feature.
- Does AudioPen just transcribe, or does it edit too?
- Both, and you decide. Keep the raw transcript, or have AudioPen reshape it. You can set how heavy the edit is, from a light grammar fix to a full restructure.
- Can I create my own writing styles?
- Yes. Build a custom style from scratch, or upload a sample of your own writing and AudioPen drafts in that voice. Preset styles cover emails, summaries, meeting notes, social posts, and more. You set the output language independently from the style.
- How long can a recording be?
- On the free tier, recordings are limited to a shorter cap. With Prime, each recording runs up to 15 minutes. You can also record in chunks and combine multiple notes into a single SuperSummary later.
- Can I combine multiple notes into one?
- Yes. SuperSummaries let you select several saved notes and merge them into one output. Useful for gathering thoughts from different sessions into a single document. This is a Prime feature.
- What devices does it work on?
- The web, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Android, and a Chrome extension. There is no Windows app at the moment.
- Can I type with my voice inside other apps?
- Yes. On Mac and iPhone, AudioPen works as a voice keyboard. Press a hot key, speak, and the text appears right where your cursor is, inside any app: Gmail, Notion, Slack, a code editor, a form, anything. No switching apps. No copy and paste.
- Does it connect to other tools?
- Yes. AudioPen connects to Zapier, so you can send notes automatically to Notion, Google Docs, Sheets, and hundreds of other apps. Webhooks are also available for custom workflows. Both are Prime features.
- Is my data private?
- Yes, with specifics worth knowing. On Mac and iPhone, transcription can run fully on-device when you enable offline mode, so audio is processed locally. For notes recorded inside AudioPen, audio is uploaded for processing and deleted automatically after about 24 hours. Your data is encrypted at rest and never used to train AI models.
- Does it work in my language?
- AudioPen understands 58 spoken languages and writes in more than 100. You can speak in one language and get text in another.
- Is it free?
- There is a free tier. Prime is a one time payment from $99 a year, with no subscription and no auto renewal.
