## What is SayNote?

SayNote turns your voice into text notes instantly.

• Just speak on the first screen. Your latest notes are right below.
• Speak and it's saved as text. No audio recordings are kept.
• Find notes again by list, calendar, search or star. Scheduled notes show up in your notes view too.
• Set reminders on notes, have them read aloud, edit them, or share them to other apps.
• Attach photos from your library or camera.
• If recognition doesn't work, you can type instead.
• Senior mode: bigger text and buttons, a simpler screen. Write by voice only, no typing needed.
• Choose the look and text size.
• Export or import backups. There's no separate cloud account to sign up for.
• If you like, support development with an in-app tip.

Notes are automatically backed up on the device so you don't lose them.

Notes are stored on this device. There's no sign-up, and we don't send your notes to our servers. Depending on your device and language, speech recognition may need the internet, and your voice may then be sent to Apple speech recognition. If iCloud Backup is on, your notes may be included in your iCloud backup.

### 5/5 — 좋아요

*2026-10-05*

말로만 메모하는 습관 생기게 해 준 앱이에요. 회의나 길에서 생각난 거 바로 남기고, 나중에 찾아보기에도 부담이 없어요.

**Developer response:** 소중한 리뷰 감사합니다! 말로 메모하는 습관이 생기셨다니 정말 기뻐요. 회의 중이나 이동 중에도 떠오른 생각을 놓치지 않도록 더 빠르고 편하게 다듬어 갈게요. 불편한 점이나 원하는 기능이 있으면 언제든 알려 주세요. 😊
