Ideas on a walk
Talk the idea through while it is still fresh. By the time you are home, it is a tidy note with your points in order.
AudioPen on the go
Ideas show up away from your desk. Catch them anyway.
On a walk, on the train, in the line for coffee. Tap record on your phone or your wrist, say it however it comes out, and AudioPen turns it into a clear note you can actually use later.

Where ideas go missing
You will not remember it later. Say it now.
The idea lands halfway through a walk. You tell yourself you will write it down when you get back. By the time you sit down, it has gone, or it has shrunk to three words that no longer make sense. Most notes apps expect you to stop and type, and on the move that rarely happens.
Plain voice memos are not much better. You end up with a pile of recordings you never listen to again, because finding the one useful minute means replaying all of them. AudioPen keeps the speed of a voice memo and hands you back text you can skim, search, and act on.
How people use it on the go
From a passing thought to a note you can use.
The commute catch-up
Use the train or the bus to plan tomorrow, draft a message, or clear your head. Arrive with it all written down.
Straight from your wrist
No phone in hand? Raise your wrist, tap record on the Apple Watch app, and speak. The note is waiting in your library when you get back.
Reply without thumb typing
Talk your reply into any app.
Walking and typing on a phone do not mix. With the AudioPen keyboard on iPhone and the floating bubble on Android, you can talk a reply straight into WhatsApp, Slack, or email.
Talk the way you think. Start mid-thought, circle back, change your mind halfway through. AudioPen types your exact words when you want them, or writes it up in a style you pick, right at your cursor.
“hey um so sorry, I'm, I'm gonna be late, like ten maybe fifteen minutes? the train's just stuck outside the station and nobody's saying why. anyway don't wait for me, just start, oh and can someone take notes, I'll catch up when I get in. sorry again”
Hi all, Apologies, I'm running 10 to 15 minutes late. My train is held just outside the station. Please go ahead and start without me. Could someone take notes? I'll catch up as soon as I arrive. Thanks for your patience, Alex
Works in any app, on every device: a hotkey on Mac and Windows, the AudioPen keyboard on iPhone and iPad, and a floating bubble on Android.
Voice memos, finally useful
Turn voice memos into text you can read.
Record inside AudioPen and every memo comes back as clean text, with the original transcript kept alongside it. Pick a style and the same memo can become a to-do list, a journal entry, or a message ready to send. You read it in seconds instead of listening back for minutes.
Already have recordings in your phone's voice memo app? On Prime, upload them, in formats like M4A, MP3, and WAV, and AudioPen transcribes and rewrites them the same way. Every note is saved, searchable, and easy to sort with tags and folders.
Pick it up anywhere
Record on your phone, finish at your desk.
Your notes sync to every device on your account. Capture a thought on the way to work, then open it on your Mac, Windows PC, or the web app when you are ready to turn it into something bigger.
On Prime, SuperSummaries combine a week of scattered memos into one clear document, Zapier can send each new note to Notion or Google Sheets, and the AudioPen MCP lets ChatGPT or Claude read your notes. Nothing you said on the go gets lost.
Rewrite level
You control the rewrite
Choose how heavy the edit should be. Keep it close to your exact words, or let AudioPen polish everything.
Rewrite level
Retains structure where possible, rewritten in your chosen style
Output length
Some compression, but not too much.
Writing style
Create your own style
Ask AudioPen to write like your favorite author. Or give it a sample of your own writing, and it will match your voice. If you can describe a style, AudioPen can write in it.
Idea: run Friday's team retro as a walking meeting instead of in the conference room. People would likely be more honest outside. Ask Priya to book the park loop for Friday afternoon. Also, pick up a birthday card for Leo before Saturday, and text Sam that dinner is still on for 7pm. We still need to pick the place.
Try it with your own voice
Free to start, on every device.
In your pocket and on your wrist
Wherever you are, one tap away.
Record on iPhone, on Android, or on your Apple Watch. Then pick your notes up on any computer, in the web app or the desktop apps.
One Prime account covers all of them. Your notes sync across every device, so whatever you capture on one is waiting on the next.

Read what real users have to say about AudioPen.
This is probably the best product I’ve come across in the past 18 months. So useful and it just keeps getting better.
Simple, but effective. The best tool to convert rambling into structured text, while keeping what you rambled intact.
I freakin love AudioPen.ai. If you are not using it yet, get on it.
Most helpful AI tool = audiopen. Been using it daily to do things like: turn voicenotes into action items, content ideas (magic for this), summarize calls, giving feedback. The UI is also so clean that it’s an absolute joy to use.
I used to manually summarize my transcribed brainstorming sessions. Took hours. AudioPen automates everything to the point where I am almost done with my article after talking about a topic for 10min. Magic.
You speak to it as thoughts come in. It stitches a fine narrative from the rant. Writers can edit a ‘wrong’ page, not a ‘blank’ page. AudioPen gets you to 90% and then you do the rest.
OH MY GOSH. I just learned about AudioPen today, and it’s already a GAME CHANGER. If you write, create, or do any serious thinking, this tool is for you.
This is one tool that has dramatically changed the way I think. It has allowed me to get the thoughts out of my head and down on paper.
I’ve been using AudioPen to talk through my ideas, have them summarized and then use the summarization as a draft for blog posts. 13 out of 10. Highly recommend for the “blank page” problem.
I can’t say enough good things about the AudioPen app. It’s been my go-to app for getting ideas down without having to type. Not only does it arrange even the most inarticulate nonsense into readable sentences, it’s the best dictation app I’ve ever used.
No product has fundamentally changed the way I work over the last 12 months more than Audiopen. Home Screen on iPhone.
I can now create 95% of my blog posts and have minimal editing. In my tone of voice. This saves so much time
I’ve been writing online for over 10 years and tried virtually every writing app, productivity, note-taking, and idea-capture system out there. Nothing comes close to the amount of time AudioPen saves me.
This is by far the greatest and most useful tool I have ever had! I have severe ADHD and it’s able to translate my rambling into a well written and concise note. I feel more organized and less anxious!
Best buy in 2023: AudioPen from @louispereira. Hats off.
Switched from Superwhisper to Audiopen Mac App within 20 minutes of using the Mac App.
Tried it out, and paid for the prime version because it is SO good and simple to use. The product has made it so much easier to track my various thoughts throughout my day.
I am a natural speaker. My ideas flow faster when I speak. I record my voice notes and with my accent, it is perfect all the time.
AudioPen is able to clear my spoken thoughts into text in Estonian, one of the most complicated languages in the world! Shut Up And Take My Money!
Already not sure what I did before I had AudioPen. If you often have thoughts you want to capture in writing, check it out. Cost is super reasonable too.
