Every other app like this is built for work. Listenin is built for the rest of your life. The appointment you only get one go at. The quote you're being talked through on a forecourt. The meeting where somebody knows far more than you do, and it matters that you keep up. Open Listenin and press the big button. That's it, you're recording. Put your phone on the table and stay in the conversation. Listenin writes down every word, keeps track of who said what, and turns it into a plain-English note you can read afterwards and send to the people who care how it went. ONE BUTTON - Press Record and you're listening, no forms to fill in first - Start from your Lock Screen or Control Centre, and stop from the Lock Screen - Keeps recording when your phone is locked - Lost signal in a hospital basement? Your phone keeps the recording, so nothing is lost YOU'RE PREPARED - Meeting coming up? Get a brief with the questions worth asking - Every word written down, with each speaker labelled - Tap "I didn't get that" and the last ten seconds are marked to explain afterwards - A short note in language anyone can follow, with what happens next and the dates pulled out - Every question worth asking next time, in one place - Send it to your partner, your friend or your carer in one tap, so you don't have to retell the whole thing FOR THE ROOMS WHERE SOMEBODY KNOWS MORE THAN YOU - The GP, the consultant, the hospital - The garage, the plumber, the letting agent - School meetings about SEND and EHCPs - Benefits assessments, housing officers, legal advice HARD WORDS, MADE SIMPLE When a word lands that nobody explains, one tap turns it into plain English while the meeting is still going. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Your meetings live on your phone, not on our servers - Audio is streamed for transcription and never stored on our servers. While you record, a copy stays on your phone so nothing is lost if the signal drops, and it's deleted once your transcript is complete - Shared meetings are encrypted on your phone before they're uploaded - Settings, then Forget Me, deletes your meetings and contacts from your phone and turns off the share links you made on it - Switch AI off completely and you still get your written transcript LISTENIN PLUS Recording and your written transcript are free, always, however long the meeting runs. Your first meeting includes everything. Plus adds the understanding on top: the brief and questions before you go in, plain English during, and the note and follow-up afterwards. Listenin doesn't replace the people you're meeting. It helps you keep up, and it means the people who love you aren't left guessing. Built in the UK. No ads.
