AudioPen for creators
Turn voice notes into posts that sound like you.
AudioPen is speech to text for content creators who think out loud. Talk through an idea and it turns the rambling into a clean LinkedIn post, newsletter, X thread or video script. Paste in a few posts you've already written and it matches how you write. That works on the free plan.
Free to start. Loved by over 200,000 people.
The slow part
The ideas are easy. The writing is the slow part.
You think out loud on a walk. The whole post is right there in your head. Then you sit down to type and it goes flat, or you open the doc and write three sentences and close it again.
The bottleneck was never ideas. It was the gap between thinking something and having it written down. AudioPen closes that gap. Tap record on your Apple Watch, your iPhone or Android phone, or your Mac, talk it out, and a clean draft is waiting when you get back.
How creators use it
From voice notes to social posts and newsletters.
Fill the content calendar
Talk through your ideas on a walk and come back with a week of posts instead of a blank schedule.Batch in one sitting
Record a handful of thoughts back to back. AudioPen turns each one into a clean draft you can post.Catch the idea before it goes
The hook that hits on a walk rarely survives the trip back to your desk. With the Apple Watch app, raise your wrist, tap record, and capture it the moment it lands. AudioPen turns it into a draft when you get back.
Custom styles
LinkedIn posts in your own voice.
Most AI writing tools flatten everything into the same polite mush. Your audience can smell it. AudioPen starts from your actual words, so your phrasing and your rhythm survive the rewrite.
Make a style from your own writing. Paste in a few LinkedIn posts you’re proud of, or describe the voice in a sentence, like “short lines, one idea each, end on a question.” Every voice note after that comes back in the voice you already write in.
You also control how much it changes. Slide from light cleanup that just fixes the rambling to a full restructure that turns a loose voice memo into a tight, publish-ready draft.
Make the style once
Save it as your LinkedIn style, then pick it whenever you record a post idea.Talk the idea out
Ramble, restart, change your mind halfway through a sentence. Say it like you would to a friend.Get the post back
A clean post in your style, ready to paste. The plain transcript stays in the note too.
Voice typing, in any style
Dictate the post right inside LinkedIn.
Skip the notes app. Open LinkedIn, X, Substack, or your caption box, tap into the text field, and talk the post out.
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.
“so basically, um, I posted every single day for like a month, right, and honestly the thing nobody tells you, the thing nobody tells you is it's not the ideas, I had loads of ideas, it's actually sitting down and writing it, that's the hard part, and voice notes just kind of fixed that for me”
I posted every day for a month. Here's what nobody tells you: ideas are never the bottleneck. I had more than I could use. The hard part is sitting down to write them. Voice notes fixed that for me.
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.
One recording
One recording, many shapes.
The same two-minute memo can become a newsletter intro, a short thread, and a hook for a video. Save it to your notes and come back to it later. On Prime, you can restyle it as many ways as you want.
Built for formats
On Prime, restyle a single note into a long-form post, a punchy summary, a list, or a script outline. Your library keeps every version.Speaks your languages
Talk in whatever language you think in and get clean text back in the one you publish in. Record in one language and post in another without leaving the app.Bring old audio back
Upload a voice memo you recorded months ago and get a fresh draft from it, in whichever format you need now.
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.
“So, um, I want to post about the thing that actually grew my newsletter. For like the first eight months I was posting every single day and I got stuck at around 900 subscribers. Then in March I, I switched to one really good post a week, and I spent the rest of the time replying to comments. By August I had 4,200 subscribers. My friend Jess told me it would work and I didn't believed her. So the lesson is, you know, depth beats volume. And I want to end it by asking people what they would cut first.”
Rewrite level
Retains structure where possible, rewritten in your chosen 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.

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!
I love it. Once AudioPen knows my style, everything I write sounds like me, but better.
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.
I use AudioPen mainly as a way of clearing my mind.
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.

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 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
