Overview

AudioPen converts voice recordings into polished written text: speak freely about your thoughts, and the AI transcribes the recording, then rewrites it in a chosen style – separating the actual signal from rambling, filler, and false starts rather than transcribing verbatim.

Preset writing styles – Simple & Clear, Academic, Business Memo, Shakespeare, and custom options – shape the final output, with adjustable rewrite intensity letting users control exactly how heavily the AI edits their words. A SuperSummaries feature merges multiple notes into one, multi-language support lets users record in one language and get output in another, and Zapier and webhook integrations connect the finished text into other workflows.

AudioPen targets writers, creators, salespeople, and professionals wanting to solve the “blank page problem” and capture ideas away from a keyboard. Free tier available. AudioPen Prime: $11/month (3-month commitment), $8.25/month (annual), or $6.63/month (2-year) – all plans include up to 15-minute recordings, unlimited storage, and access across iOS, Android, Chrome, Mac, and Windows.
