## What is SayRay?

SayRay puts the words on the screen while people talk.

Tap Record and the words show up as they are said, in big bold type. Tap to make them bigger. Scroll back to read what you missed. Tap Stop and it is saved.

I made SayRay for my friend Chuck. When he started living with dementia, he loved watching the words show up on the screen as we talked. He could scroll back and remember what was said. That is still what this app is for: seeing the words while people talk, for anyone who needs them.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Your iPhone turns the talking into words. The sound never leaves it.
• On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, a tidied-up copy of the words appears next to the original. You always keep the original.
• Your saved notes go to your other iPhones through your own iCloud. No server, no account, no tracking.

MADE TO LAST
• Play a note back and watch each word light up as it is spoken.
• Copy or share any note.
• Works with no internet after a one-time download.
• Light or dark, and text as big as your iPhone can make it.

BUY IT ONCE
SayRay is a one-time purchase. No subscription, nothing else to buy. I want it to earn its place on your phone for years.

### 5/5 — Awesome.

*2026-10-13*

Great idea, I love the simplicity! Please no more features :) It's perfect.

### 5/5 — Easy to Use

*2026-10-09*

I am addicted to sending my transcripts as context to LLMs or audio journaling. Thanks for the app. The bad part is I had to go without a latte today to afford it. ;) Keep building Ray and sharing your process.

### 5/5 — phil @ humbleha.us

*2026-10-08*

this was an easy $4.99 to drop on this before I even knew what it did, basically I’ll support ray because he’s a great dude ;)

### 5/5 — Such a useful app

*2026-09-19*

Simple but so useful, so many ideas, thoughts or situations that I just need to quickly record as text for later use. Do not hesitate to download this app, well worth the cost and more!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-09-19*

Would be great to have:
- Speaker labels so thus can be used for meeting notes
- Ability to set global meeting instructions
- Known words / dictionary that the cleanup will apply everytime, e.g. company / client names, business acronyms, etc.

Great little app tho!

### 5/5 — Simple, but better

*2026-09-18*

Been wanting a way to throw all my thoughts down and then copy and paste them into an LLM. This solves my problem perfectly. Well worth the $5

### 5/5 — Clean and easy to use

*2026-09-18*

This app is beautifully designed and just what I need. It’s great for taking notes during walks outside or just when you need to remember something.
