AudioPen Simple mode
The same AudioPen, easier to use.
Simple mode is a setting in the AudioPen apps for iPhone and Android. Every screen gets bigger text, fewer buttons and a name on every button. You still just talk, and AudioPen still turns it into clear writing.
Turn it on in Settings. Switch back whenever you like.
Easier on every screen
What does Simple mode change?
It's for anyone who'd rather talk than hunt for the right button. And if you're setting AudioPen up on a parent's or grandparent's phone, it's the setting to turn on first.
Bigger text
Your notes and menus are larger on every screen. No squinting.Fewer buttons
Each screen shows one thing at a time. The home screen starts with one big button: Record a note.A name on every button
No guessing what a little icon means. Every button says what it does, in plain words.
Every feature is still there. Your notes, writing styles, voice typing and settings each have their own button on the home screen.
