AudioPen

AudioPen is an AI writing tool that turns spoken input into transcripts, cleaned-up notes, summaries, emails, and other drafts. Users can keep the original transcript or ask the system to rewrite it in a selected style and language.

The product works across a web application, desktop software, mobile apps, Apple Watch, and a Chrome extension. Its desktop and iPhone voice-typing features can insert dictated text into other applications.

AudioPen records voice notes, transcribes speech, and rewrites the result with adjustable editing intensity. Users can select preset writing styles or create custom styles from their own writing samples.

Prime adds recordings of up to 15 minutes, unlimited note storage, audio-file uploads, note restyling, text-note processing, and SuperSummaries that combine several saved notes.

The service supports multiple languages and can accept speech in one language while producing written output in another. Automation options include Zapier and webhooks. A read-only MCP connection lets ChatGPT and Claude search and read AudioPen notes.

Voice typing is available through the Mac, Windows, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Android, and Chrome experiences. AudioPen also documents local transcription options for supported voice-typing modes.

AudioPen offers a free plan without requiring a credit card. The free tier includes the core voice-note-to-text workflow, but has shorter recording limits and limited note history.

AudioPen Prime uses one-time, non-recurring passes. Current published options are $33 for three months, $99 for one year, and $159 for two years. Prime includes longer recordings, unlimited storage, audio uploads, custom styles, SuperSummaries, restyling, Zapier, and webhooks.

Prime purchases apply across the supported AudioPen devices when users sign into the same account.

Letterly is a comparable voice-to-text writing assistant focused on turning speech into polished text. Wispr Flow is a voice-input product oriented toward replacing keyboard typing across applications. SuperWhisper targets configurable transcription and local processing for desktop users.

Otter.ai and Notta are broader transcription and meeting-note alternatives. AudioPen is better aligned with users who want to speak freely and receive rewritten drafts, rather than only meeting transcripts.
