Sono Note vs SpeakType

Optimized for iPhone Duo. Built with the latest SDK, the app fills the entire inner display and automatically adjusts its layout whether the device is folded or open. Record a meeting, lecture or quick idea, and Sono Note turns it into a clean summary, key points and an action-item list — not a wall of raw transcript. It can also draft a follow-up email in the tone you choose, and the original recording stays in the note so you can replay and check it anytime. Templates for meetings, client calls, classes and interviews get you a useful note on the first try. Export as text, Markdown or PDF. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your notes live on your iPhone. No account. No ads. No tracking. We run no servers of our own, so nothing is ever uploaded to us. Transcription uses Apple's speech recognition, which may send audio to Apple for some languages; choose Local Only mode and everything stays on your device, even in airplane mode. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Back up everything to a single dated file and restore it in one tap. Browse, replay, share the original audio, or delete every recording from one simple place. You're always in control. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE Ready-made templates for work updates, client calls, classes, interviews, doctor visits, ideas, support cases, and project recaps get you a genuinely useful result on the very first try — in dozens of languages you can switch any time. START FREE, GO UNLIMITED Start free with 2 notes a day, up to 3 minutes each. Go Pro with a single one-time purchase — no subscription, ever — for unlimited notes, recordings up to 3 hours, PDF export, advanced templates, custom vocabulary, every follow-up email tone, and full backup & restore. Your best thinking happens out loud. Sono Note makes sure none of it slips away. Generated text is meant to be reviewed before use. The clearest results come from clear, single-speaker recordings. Optimized for iPhone Duo.

SpeakType turns your voice into text in real time. Tap the microphone and watch your words become an editable note as you speak — perfect for capturing ideas hands-free, writing long-form notes without typing, and saving thoughts before they slip away. It is a fast, private voice to text app with no account, no subscription and no cloud: your notes stay on your device. Typing on a phone is slow. Speaking is up to three times faster, and SpeakType is built around that simple idea. Whether you are driving, walking, cooking or just thinking out loud, you can dictate a note in seconds and clean it up later. Most voice to text apps send your audio to a server and hide the good parts behind a subscription. SpeakType is different: it uses your device's own speech recognition, so your dictation is fast, works offline where supported, and stays completely private. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to pay — just open the app and start speaking.
