Converts spoken thoughts into structured, polished writing in customizable styles.

Visit audiopen.ai ↗

AudioPen is an AI-powered speech-to-text tool that rewrites and restructures spoken rambling into clear, cohesive drafts rather than just transcribing verbatim. It allows you to select rewrite styles, control output lengths, and dictate directly into apps via system-level hotkeys and mobile keyboards. It is especially useful for quickly turning messy voice memos into finished emails, articles, or notes.

What it's for

  • Dictate and format first drafts of essays, articles, or newsletters without typing
  • Record quick voice debriefs after meetings to generate structured action items
  • Turn rambling voice memos into clear emails and Slack messages directly through hotkeys or mobile keyboards
  • Dictate thoughts in one language and produce polished written text in another

Features

  • Automated transcription and AI rewriting that removes filler words and organizes unstructured rambling
  • Customizable rewrite levels ranging from light cleanups to complete stylistic overhauls
  • Style presets (bullet points, email, formal) plus the ability to train custom writing voices
  • Cross-app voice typing with a desktop hotkey, custom iOS keyboard, and Android floating bubble
  • Multilingual input and translation support across dozens of languages
  • SuperSummaries feature to combine multiple voice notes into a single document

Pricing

Freemium. Free tier available; Prime subscription costs $33 for 3 months, $99/year, or $159 for 2 years.
