SpeakFiction Notes is the free phone companion for SpeakFiction on Mac and Windows. Record a take on the phone. Speech becomes text here. The desktop app shapes the book. Scan the QR code on your computer, or paste your SF- license key. Notes sync as encrypted text through your SpeakFiction account. Audio stays on this phone unless you attach it. This app does not use one of the three Polar desktop seats. On-device speech recognition when the phone has it. No hosted transcriber. No ads. Requires SpeakFiction on the computer (15-day trial, then a one-time license).
