Post-session notes
The moment a session ends, speak through what happened while it is still fresh. What you observed, what shifted, what to follow up on. AudioPen turns it into a clean, structured note in seconds.
AudioPen for therapists
Keep better notes on every session.
When the session ends, the most valuable observations are still in your head. AudioPen captures them before they fade, and keeps them organized so the next session starts from exactly the right place.

After the session ends
The real insight happens after they leave.
A transcript of a therapy session is not what you need. It would be a record of everything that was said, including the silences, the tangents, and the things that were said only to move forward. What you actually need is what you thought, not just what was spoken.
AudioPen is for the notes that belong in your records. The observations you made but did not share. The pattern you noticed across sessions. The question you want to ask next time. Speak them out after the client leaves and have a structured, searchable record within minutes.
How therapists use it
From session to structured record.
Clinical observations
Capture what you noticed but did not say out loud. The things that belong in your records, not in the room. Patterns across sessions. Thoughts you need to carry into the next one.
Pre-session review
Before a client arrives, pull up your notes from last time. Read where you left off. Walk into the session already in the loop, so you can focus entirely on the person in front of you.
The thoughts that stay with you
Capture what you could not say.
Some of the most important observations from a session are the ones that were not appropriate to voice in the room. A concern you want to monitor. A connection you made between something said today and something from three sessions ago. A note to yourself about where the work needs to go next.
These thoughts exist in the space between the session and the next one. AudioPen gives them somewhere to go. Speak them out while they are still clear, and they become part of a record you can actually use.
You decide how much AudioPen reshapes what you say. Keep it light and it preserves your clinical language as you said it. Ask for a full restructure and it organizes a long debrief into something clean and easy to scan. The level of editing is yours to set.
Organized the way you practice
Every client, every session, easy to find.
AudioPen’s notes library is fully customizable. Create a tag for each client and every note you record for them carries that tag. Create folders for different client types, treatment approaches, or whatever structure fits how you work. There is no limit to how many tags or folders you create.
Before a session, pull up that client’s notes and read where you left off. Walk in already knowing what was said last time, what you wanted to explore, and where the work is heading. Clients notice when a therapist is fully in the loop from the first minute. That trust is built between sessions, not during them.
Voice typing, in any style
Speak your notes into the software you already use.
If your notes live in practice management software, you do not need to copy anything over. Click into the note field and talk.
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.
“okay so Emma today, she seemed, um, lighter I guess? more upbeat. talked a lot about the new job, like most of the session really. but again nothing about her dad, she kind of changed the subject when I, when I brought it up. I want to, yeah, come back to that next week, gently”
• Presented with a brighter, more upbeat affect • Spent most of the session discussing her new job • Changed the subject when her father was raised, as before • Plan: revisit the topic gently next week
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 notes
Built with privacy in mind.
All notes are encrypted at rest and never shared with other users. AudioPen never uses your notes to train AI models. It is the same setup lawyers rely on for client work.
On Mac, Windows, iPhone, and Android, you can turn on offline transcription for voice typing and for notes. With it on, audio is processed on your device, without passing through any server. With cloud transcription, voice typing audio is never saved, and note audio is deleted within 48 hours.
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.
Emma was more open today than last week, especially about her sister. Last week she changed the subject whenever it came up, so this is a real shift. She's also sleeping better since starting evening walks. She still minimizes the argument at work and laughed it off twice. I'll gently return to that next Tuesday and check in on the walks.

Read what real users have to say about AudioPen.
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.
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.
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.
