AudioPen for lawyers

Draft memos and briefs by talking.

You think through the argument out loud anyway. AudioPen turns that into a clean, structured draft in precise language, so you spend less time typing and more time on the work that matters.

Where the time goes

The thinking is fast. The writing is slow.

You already know the argument. Turning it into a tight memo or a clean clause is the part that eats the afternoon. Plain dictation does not help much, because it hands back every false start exactly as you said it.

Speak it into AudioPen instead. It transcribes what you said, then restructures it into precise, organized language you can refine. The first draft is done before you have opened a blank document.

How lawyers use it

From spoken thought to clean draft.

Memos and briefs

Talk through the argument and get a structured first draft in clear, precise language.

Contract language

Dictate a clause the way you would explain it, and let AudioPen tighten it into something you can edit down.

Post meeting notes

After a call or a meeting you could not record, dictate what was decided and what is still open. Five minutes becomes a clean record.

It writes the way you do

Precise language, your style.

AudioPen has a built-in Legal style that outputs in formal, structured, precise language straight away. You can also go further. Upload a sample of your own work, a memo you rate or a brief you are proud of, and AudioPen builds a custom style from it. Every dictation then comes back sounding like you wrote it on a careful day.

You control how much it changes. A light edit fixes the grammar and leaves your structure alone. A full restructure turns a rambling call debrief into a tight, organized summary. The intensity is yours to set, and you can change it note by note.

Output language is independent from your style. Speak in one language and write the output in another. Useful for international matters or multilingual clients.

Voice typing, in any style

Dictate into Word, in Legal style.

Your drafting happens in Word, Outlook, and your document management system. With voice typing, you speak straight into them.

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.

What you say
okay so the, the non-compete, I don't think it holds up, um, mainly because it's the whole country, nationwide, and it's five years, five years for a sales role, that's way too long, like no court's going to see that as reasonable, so yeah, flag that as the main issue
Typed into Word, in Legal style

The principal issue is the enforceability of the non-compete clause. In our view, it is unlikely to be upheld. The restriction applies nationwide and runs for five years. For a sales role, a court is unlikely to consider either its scope or its duration reasonable.

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.

Handling sensitive work

Private where it counts.

On Mac, Windows, and iPhone, voice typing gives you an offline option. Turn it on and audio is processed on your device, without passing through any server. When you save a note, the audio is uploaded for processing and then deleted automatically. Your notes are never used to train AI models, and all data is encrypted at rest.

Your writing stays yours. Nothing is shared with other users, and the audio is not kept once it has been processed. It is the same setup therapists use for session notes.

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

The termination clause is the main issue in Harlow's supply agreement. Either side can terminate on 30 days' notice, which is short for a contract this size. The bigger risk is uncapped early exit costs. Section 12 only says "reasonable costs," which means little. I'd push for 90 days' notice and a cap of three months of fees. Markup tomorrow, to Sarah by Friday.

Try it with your own voice

Free to start, on every device.

Chambers, court, or kitchen table

One account, every device.

Dictate a memo from your Mac or Windows PC, capture a thought on your phone between hearings, and pick the draft up in the web app later. The record follows you.

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.
Dave O’Callaghan · @OCallaghanDavid
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.

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.
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.
