Read full description

Voice recorder + smart notes. Record, transcribe speech to text, and get organised notes in seconds. Voice Notes is a voice recorder and speech to text app that turns everything you say into clean, organised text. Record a meeting, a lecture, an interview or a thought in the car: the app transcribes the audio to text and formats it into the exact kind of note you need. No typing. No cleanup. โ–  A VOICE RECORDER BUILT FOR LONG SESSIONS Record meetings, lectures, interviews and site walkthroughs, up to 60 minutes per recording. Recording continues in the background and survives calls and interruptions, so you never lose a voice memo. โ–  SPEECH TO TEXT IN 60+ LANGUAGES Accurate voice to text with real punctuation, paragraphs, names and numbers, far beyond keyboard dictation. Best results in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italian, Polish and Indonesian. Transcribe in the language you speak and read the note back in the language you choose. โ–  THE TRANSCRIPT BECOMES A REAL NOTE More than an audio to text converter. One recording becomes nine note formats: meeting notes, to-do list, email, message, summary, lecture notes, journal entry, brainstorm notes and invoice. Speak naturally; the structure is automatic. Or build custom templates for the notes your work actually needs. โ–  REMINDERS SET THEMSELVES Say "remind me to send the quote Friday at 9" and the reminder is scheduled with a notification, even when the app is closed. Dates, deadlines and tasks are detected in every transcript. โ–  TAGS THAT ORGANISE FOR YOU Set keyword rules once. When a transcript mentions them, the right tag is applied automatically. Filter your whole library of voice notes with one tap and search the full text of every recording. โ–  WORKS WHERE YOU WORK Send notes to Notion, Slack, Todoist or Readwise, or anywhere via Zapier and webhooks. Export any note to PDF, Markdown or SRT. Ask a question about a recording and get an answer drawn straight from the transcript. โ–  MADE FOR โ€ข Meetings and client calls: meeting notes without a notetaker โ€ข Students: record lectures and get study-ready lecture notes and summaries โ€ข Journalists and researchers: interview transcription โ€ข Tradespeople and field teams: job logs, site notes and invoices by voice โ€ข Sales teams: call notes and follow-ups written for you โ€ข Writers and drivers: capture ideas hands-free, anywhere โ–  YOUR VOICE, PROTECTED Notes stay on your device. There is no account and no cloud sync. Audio is sent securely for transcription only, and you approve the processing before anything leaves your phone. Back up whenever you want, to a drive you choose. โ–  NO SUBSCRIPTION. PAY PER HOUR. Start with free recording minutes. After that, buy recording hours only when you need them. No monthly fee. No auto-renewal. Voice Notes is the fastest way from spoken thought to organised text: a voice recorder, a transcription app and a smart note taker in one. Download free and dictate your first voice note in seconds. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
