AudioPen for ADHD minds

Why typing stalls
Your ideas move faster than your fingers.
Writing asks you to hold a thought, organize it, and type it, all at the same time. For a lot of people with ADHD, that juggling act is exactly where things fall apart. Research on ADHD and writing keeps pointing at working memory and attention, not a shortage of ideas.
So by the time the document is open, the thought has wandered off. Or it is still there, but tangled up with four others and a reminder to buy milk. Talking skips the juggling. You say it as it comes, and AudioPen does the sorting afterwards.
How ADHD minds use it
From mental noise to something useful.
Catch the idea mid-thought
Ideas arrive in the shower, on a walk, halfway through something else. Raise your wrist or open your phone, speak it, and get back to what you were doing. The idea is waiting later.
Start the task you keep avoiding
The email you have been putting off for a week. Say roughly what you want it to say and AudioPen writes the first draft. Editing something is far easier than starting from nothing.
Ramble freely
Go off on tangents. It keeps up.
You do not need to organize your thoughts before you speak. Start in the middle, circle back, change your mind halfway through, trail off and pick it up again. AudioPen listens to all of it and pulls out what matters.
Pick a style for the result. Bullet points for a brain dump. Action items for a planning session. A tidy email or a journal entry. Keep the transcript close to what you said, or let AudioPen restructure the whole thing. You set how much it changes.
Less friction, fewer excuses
Fewer steps between you and done.
Every extra tap is a chance to get distracted. On iPhone, the AudioPen keyboard lets you type, swipe, or talk in any app. On Android, a small bubble floats next to your keyboard. On Mac and Windows, hold a hotkey and speak, and the words land wherever your cursor is. Ramble a Slack reply in any order, and it arrives as a clear message in the style you pick.
Nothing to open, nothing to switch to. The thought goes straight from your head to the message, the doc, or the task list where it belongs. And if typing itself is the hard part, see how AudioPen helps with dyslexia and RSI.
Find it again later
A second brain that is actually tidy.
Losing a note is almost as bad as never taking it. Every recording is saved, searchable, and easy to sort with tags and folders, so last week's brilliant idea is a search away instead of lost in a notes app graveyard.
On Prime, SuperSummaries combine a week of scattered voice notes into one clear overview, and the AudioPen MCP lets you chat with your notes in tools like ChatGPT and Claude. Ask what you decided on Tuesday and get a real answer.
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.
Today's big one: finish the budget slides for Priya before the 2 o'clock call. I also still haven't replied to Sam about Saturday, which I keep forgetting. I need to call the dentist to move my Thursday appointment. After work, grab milk, eggs, and coffee, and pick up the dry cleaning before 6. If I do the slides first, the rest should be fine.
Try it with your own voice
Free to start, on every device.
Wherever the thought shows up
Always there when the idea strikes.
Record on your Apple Watch or phone the moment something pops up, then pick it up on your Mac or Windows PC when you are ready to act on it. Everything syncs.
One Prime account covers all of them. Your notes sync across every device, so whatever you capture on one is waiting on the next.

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.
