When typing is hard

Say what you mean. Skip the keyboard.

Whether spelling slows you down or your wrists ache after an hour at the desk, the keyboard should not stand between you and your ideas. Speak naturally, and AudioPen writes it out clearly, correctly spelled, wherever you need it.

The gap between thinking and typing

You know exactly what to say. Typing gets in the way.

The International Dyslexia Association estimates that as many as 15 to 20 percent of people have some symptoms of dyslexia, like slow reading, tricky spelling, or mixing up similar words. None of that has anything to do with how well you think. It just makes every email and document take longer than it should.

For others the problem is physical. Repetitive strain injury, carpal tunnel, arthritis, or a broken wrist can turn a day of typing into a day of pain. Either way, speaking is often the most direct route from your head to the page.

How people use it

Less typing, more writing.

Write without worrying about spelling

Say it the way you would explain it to a friend. AudioPen writes it out with correct spelling and punctuation, so you can focus on what you mean instead of how each word is spelled.

Give your hands a break

Draft emails, reports, and messages by voice and save your hands for the small edits. Fewer keystrokes across the day adds up, especially when you pair it with good ergonomics and regular breaks.

Organize your thoughts as you go

Talk it through in whatever order it comes. AudioPen restructures what you said into clear paragraphs or bullet points, the same reason busy ADHD minds rely on it.

More than dictation

Clear writing, not a messy transcript.

Basic dictation writes down every word exactly as you said it, including the ums, the restarts, and the sentences that change direction halfway through. Then you have to fix it all by hand, which defeats the purpose. AudioPen cleans it up for you. If you have used Dragon before, here is how AudioPen compares to Dragon.

Choose how far it goes. A light touch fixes grammar and punctuation and keeps your words. A fuller rewrite turns a spoken ramble into a polished email, a structured report, or a tidy list. Upload a sample of your own writing and it can match your tone too.

In every app you use

Your voice works everywhere you type.

On Mac and Windows, hold a hotkey and speak to insert your exact words at the cursor, or double tap it to have your speech written up in a style. Your thoughts do not need to come out in order. Say them however they arrive, and AudioPen types organized, correctly spelled text. It works in Gmail, Word, Google Docs, Slack, and anywhere else you can type.

On iPhone, the AudioPen keyboard lets you type, swipe, or talk, in the same styles, and it can be your default keyboard in every app. On Android, a small bubble appears whenever your keyboard does. Wherever there is a text box, you can speak.

Made to be easy

Simple to start, easy to keep using.

There is nothing to train and no long setup. Tap record, speak, and read back a clean result. It understands natural speech, including accents, and works in many languages, so you can speak in one language and write in another.

Every note is saved and searchable, so you never have to retype something you already said. Record once, reuse it as an email, a summary, or a list later.

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

Hi Dana, I got your message about the quarterly report. The sales section is done, but Priya won't have the survey numbers until Wednesday. I can't send the full report by Monday. Could we move the deadline to Friday? That gives me two days to add the survey results and check the charts. I'll send the sales section tomorrow morning.

Try it with your own voice

Free to start, on every device.

At your desk or away from it

Every device, fewer keystrokes.

Speak into any app on your Mac or Windows PC, use the voice keyboard on your iPhone, tap the bubble on Android, or record a quick note on your Apple Watch without touching a keyboard at all.

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.
Murali Balaraman · Founder, Studio CX360
I freakin love AudioPen.ai. If you are not using it yet, get on it.
Mr. Fettfinger
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.
Cathryn Lavery · @cathrynlavery
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.
Arvid Kahl · @arvidkahl
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.
Joseph Jude · @jjude
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.
Bear Smith · @RealBearSmith
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.
Melvyn Tan · @melvyndotme
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.
chase adams · @curiouslychase
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.
Otis Frampton · @otisframpton
No product has fundamentally changed the way I work over the last 12 months more than Audiopen. Home Screen on iPhone.
Sidin · @sidin
I can now create 95% of my blog posts and have minimal editing. In my tone of voice. This saves so much time
Vincent · @vincenthaywood
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.
Trying Not to Suck at Life · @trynotsuck
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!
Kristen Doutsas · Aesthetician, entrepreneur
Best buy in 2023: AudioPen from @louispereira. Hats off.

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.
Maya · @buildwithmaya
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.
Ash Ravikumar
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!
Reigo Kimmel · YouTube expert, AI enthusiast
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.
