A Speech to Text app is a useful tool that enables you to convert spoken words into written text, making it easier to transcribe voice recordings. With advancements in open AI technology, such apps have become more accurate and efficient, enabling them to transcribe even whispered speech with ease. One of the main advantages of a Speech to Text app is its ability to convert audio recordings into text. This is especially useful for journalists, researchers, and anyone who needs to create written records of meetings, interviews, or other events. The app works by using an audio converter to read the audio file and convert it into text, which can then be edited and shared as needed. In addition to converting voice recordings, a Speech to Text app can also be used for dictation, allowing you to speak directly into the app and have your words transcribed in real-time. This feature can be especially useful for individuals who struggle with writing, or for those who need to create text-based documents quickly and efficiently. Overall, a Speech to Text app is a valuable tool that can save time and improve productivity, making it easier to transcribe voice recordings and create written records of important events. With advancements in open AI technology, these apps are becoming more accurate and reliable, making them an essential tool for anyone who needs to work with audio recordings on a regular basis. --- Payment & Subscription Terms: -Select one of the following purchase options to start using premium features: - Auto-renewable subscription : 1 Week - Per Week ($4.99) - Auto-renewable subscription : 1 Year - Per Year ($29.99) - One-Time Purchase ($99.99) - Payment will be charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase. - Subscriptions will automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. - The account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours before the end of the current period, and identify the cost of the renewal. - Your account will be following your plan, within 24 hours before the end of the current period. - You can manage or turn off auto-renew in your Apple ID account settings any time after purchase. - This price is for United States customers.

Pulse Notetaker turns your meetings and voice notes into clear, structured documents. Record a conversation or dictate a quick note, and Pulse Notetaker transcribes it, works out what kind of meeting it was, and writes a polished summary you can share. Built for teams that already use Foxbyte Pulse, it keeps your recordings and notes on your device while your organisation's Pulse workspace handles secure sign-in and AI processing. KEY FEATURES • Record meetings — Capture in-person conversations in high quality. Recording keeps running while your screen is locked or you switch apps. • Dictate voice notes — Speak a quick thought and get back clean, readable text with suggested tags. • Accurate transcription — Your audio is turned into an accurate, readable transcript. • Automatic meeting summaries — Pulse Notetaker recognises the type of meeting and produces a structured summary using the right template — client meetings, team meetings, one-on-ones, meeting minutes, executive highlights, needs analysis and more. • Add context for better results — Note the client, attendees or purpose before, during or just after a meeting so titles, filenames and summaries come out right. • Refine and ask — Regenerate a summary, refine the wording, or ask follow-up questions about what was discussed. • Organise your library — Group related voice notes by theme and keep everything searchable in one place. • Export and share — Export your notes and summaries as documents to share however you work. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your recordings, transcripts and summaries are stored on your device. Sign-in and AI processing are brokered securely through your organisation's Foxbyte Pulse workspace — Pulse Notetaker never stores your account credentials, and all data is encrypted in transit. REQUIRES A FOXBYTE PULSE ACCOUNT Pulse Notetaker is designed for organisations using Foxbyte Pulse. You sign in with your existing work account (via your organisation's Pulse workspace) — there is no separate sign-up. If your organisation doesn't use Pulse yet, visit foxbyte.nz to learn more.
