# AudioPen

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

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.
