Free option is way to restrictive

Title is self explanatory. 2mins is not nearly enough and also you lose the chance to append to notes… if you are not willing to spend 100€ don’t bother installing it

Response from developer

Hey, sorry about this, but thank you for leaving a review nonetheless. I'm going to try to make the free version a bit more generous in the future. But for now, you actually have unlimited local transcriptions for the AudioPen iOS keyboard even on the free plan. If you haven't tried it yet, I'd encourage you to give it a shot. You might like it. I'm a one-person team, so I need to make sure I'm growing sustainably. That's why I have to set certain limits on the free plan. Thank you for understanding.

Really handy

I haven’t yet decided whether I need AudioPen long term, but in the week or so I’ve used it, I have found it seriously handy for drafting emails and dictating text messages. No matter what I decide going forward, I want to complement the thought and care put into this app and its onboarding by its creator. Top notch.

Hey! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful, honest review. I do hope you end up using the app long term. Building products for great people is something that just sits the right way for me as a builder. If you ever have feedback or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out :)

Super Useful

I can quickly capture those fleeting thoughts when not at my pc or laptop

Response from developer

Glad you like the app! Thank you for leaving a review :)

Superior voice transcription

I love this app. I've been a Prime member for nearly a year now. I don't use the app that much, but when I do, it comes in handy and it's perfect. Well worth it.

Also, the developer has been incredibly productive over the last several months and has made some huge changes and improvements. I also love the Mac app. I love using it as a keyboard on the Mac app, and I'm thrilled that he added that function for the phone as well.

I highly recommend you check out this app. It's way ahead of any app in the same category.

Top notch tool with a dedicated developer

Luis is doing everything in his powers to make this app better and better; it’s absolutely working.

A slick easy to use apps on my Mac and iPhone, a soon to be released windows version. The new talk to type keyboard.

Bravo sir, Bravo!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the kind words. Truly grateful. Will keep working to make sure you keep liking it as it evolves.

My review!

I love this app! I have adhd and struggle to explain things in perfect sense, have the attention span to type it all out, and remember what I was trying to say. So this app completely changes things for me. I don’t have to focus on typing and forgetting what I say, It saves me so much time, and it writes it all down beautiful and clear. It doesn’t change what I say it might just level up a few words depending on what you choice to write about, but that’s definitely not a bad thing! I’d 100% recommend! Also when doing Bible studies it’s SO handy to get your thoughts out about scripture so easily and put it into a lovely note. I think the only down side is just that it gives you a time limit to say everything in but i haven’t yet looked into it and see if it can be changed so don’t let this put you off it’s probably just something I haven’t figured out yet! Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for the review. It really made my day.

Incredible app for creatives and writers

I’ve been using this app consistently for over a year and it has aided me so much in my creative process. The ability to record and get a transcript so easily is game changing, but also the organization and ability to make it your own. I love it.

Response from developer

Hey! Thank you for such a wonderful review of AudioPen. I appreciate it!

Best for the price

Easy to use and install hope the makers of this app don’t fully retire to soon become this is brilliant brilliant brilliant thank you

Response from developer

hahaha thank you! I'm not retiring any time soon!

I suffer with dyslexia and this really does help me

For the last two years, I’ve been using AudioPen in conjunction with AI like Gemini and also been using it to the tasks that used to take me forever now it’s just press a button and talk

Response from developer

Happy you're finding it useful! thank you for leaving a review :)

Easy and Accurate

At the push of a button AudioPen records, my thoughts, a transcribes them into easy to use text for multiple purposes. The AI built into the app can take your words and formats them into different themes as needed if you so choose to do so. It takes recording thoughts when a keyboard is not accessible to the next level and ramps up productivity by accurately taking my vocal comments and transcribing them and ready to paste format. It even gives you the opportunity to add specialized words into the data base.

Super Usecase

Echt supertolles Tool für den Alltag

Response from developer

Hey! Thank you for the wonderful review. I'm glad you're liking AudioPen.

Unreliable

It misses huge parts of conversations. Unable for anything even remotely important.

School Principal

A thoroughly indispensable tool in my developing AI tool kit. This voice to text application is now an integral part of my workflow every day. I really don’t know what I used to do before it came along. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Response from developer

Thank you so much! So happy that you took the time to leave a review and a wonderful rating. Thank you.

It’s simple to use

Just hit the mic icon and just chat your thoughts and AudioPen helps make sense of them.

Thank you for leaving a review! Glad you're liking the app :) - Louis

Game Changer

Great product. Has changed my life. The offline transcription, and iPad and IPhone updates keep this app as number one in this category. That with constant updates and comms from Louis the developer make this a serious contender. You will not be disappointed.

Response from developer

Hey! Thank you so much for leaving a review. I'll keep working to make sure the product gets more useful with time. Thank you for being an early supporter!

Thoughts on upgrades

It would be cool if you could include pictures in the notes, like a journal entry with a photo. Also if the entries bore not just the date, but also the time of day at which they were created.
Loving the app, thanks!

Response from developer

Hey! Thank you for the review and the feedback. I understand where you're coming from, but its a constant battle in my head between adding new features to the app and keeping it as simple and focused as possible. I guess it will evolve as time goes by!

Useful on the phone and desktop

I’ve been using this app since it was launched and it keeps getting better and more useful! Quick voice transcriptions, amazing controls, easy interface! Super recommend it!

Response from developer

Cheers! Glad you're finding it useful both on the phone and desktop! If you have an Apple Watch as well, please try it there too! It works really well!

Habe es vorhin erst runtergeladen, bin aber jetzt schon begeistert, da es genau das ist was ich gesucht habe

A Premium for 15 minutes

I was astonished to find that, for the Prime service, at $100/yr, you can only capture 15 minutes of audio. That is a huge amount of money for that little of a product. Check literally any other transcription app. You’ll get 3x audio transcription capacity, all other features, and only pay $50/yr.

Response from developer

Hey! I've limited the time to 15 mins per live recording for a few reasons. 1. I use the best AI models to process audio and text, and some of them struggle with maintaining quality for longer recordings (especially in lesser spoken languages). That's why I prioritise quality over quantity, and limit the size of the recordings. 2. A vast majority of recordings (>95%) taken by people capturing their thoughts are under 15 minutes. Even for those that do want to cross that threshold, it probably benefits them to take a short break before restarting 3. Often, devices throttle the recording process, and this could result in a longer recording getting cut off unknowingly. The 15 minute gap lets me reduce that risk for users. I hope you'll understand where I'm coming from. The limit is not created as a way to annoy users, but I've done it in good faith. Thank you for trying AudioPen though. I will keep working to improve it.

Effective and addictive

What sounded like a good idea has turned into something that I depend on every day. I love using this easy it’s accurate. It’s great to use and the iPhone and Mac apps are just fantastic

Response from developer

Thank you! Glad you're using it across Mac and iPhone!
