# AudioPen

> Voice notes rewritten into clear text in a chosen style

AudioPen records spoken thoughts, transcribes them and rewrites the transcript into structured text in a writing style and language you pick, keeping the original transcript alongside. It also works as voice typing inside other apps on Mac, Windows, iPhone, iPad and Android. The vendor describes it as built for individual thought, not meetings: it does not join calls or label speakers.

## Key features

- **Transcribe, then rewrite:** Each recording is transcribed and then rewritten into structured text, and the plain transcript is kept alongside the rewritten note.
- **Writing styles and rewrite level:** A style library covers formats such as email, memo and bullet points, custom styles are built from a description or a writing sample, and the edit can be set to low, medium or high.
- **Voice typing in other apps:** A hotkey on Mac and Windows, a keyboard on iPhone and iPad, and a floating bubble on Android place dictated text wherever the cursor is.
- **Speak one language, write another:** The spoken language and the written language do not have to match, so a note dictated in Spanish can come back in English.
- **Offline transcription option:** The iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows apps can transcribe on the device so audio never leaves it. The AI rewrite step still needs a connection.
- **Zapier, webhooks and MCP:** Saved notes can be passed on through Zapier or webhooks, and the Prime-only MCP gives ChatGPT or Claude read-only access to search and read notes.

## Good for

- Writers and creators who draft by talking
- Capturing ideas on the move from a phone or watch
- People who find typing slow or painful, such as with RSI or dyslexia

## Worth knowing

- Free recordings stop at 3 minutes, and free voice typing is limited to a set number of sessions.
- Prime is sold as fixed-term passes charged once ($33, $99 or $159), not as an auto-renewing subscription.
- It is not a meeting recorder: the vendor says it will not join a Zoom call or label who said what.
- Audio uploads need Prime and are capped at 100 files every 4 weeks, with a 100 MB limit per file.
