I managed to get a lifetime subscription for Voicenotes early on. Very pleased so far.
My perception so far is that there is very little differentiation in this field. All the other apps mentioned above sound good, and I've tried some of them, such as AudioPen. But none stand for me.
The slightly related one that does stand out is Granola. It's marketed as a meeting notes AI, but it's ability to accurately and thoroughly summarise meetings is very impressive. It's not about the features, it's the quality of the output.
I've therefore started to have meetings with just myself for the use cases you mentioned.
I was lucky enough to buy a lifetime license of AidioPen when it was in early beta, and a lifetime license of Letterly with AppSumo. They're my everyday thinking tools too. Can't stand without them.
I think Voicenotes is one, and Ali Abdaal has one called Voicepail too. I'm curious about giving it a try with ChatGPT since I already have that, or even just capturing into Apple Notes too.
There are some great tools to remove filler words from your transcript, but if you want to remove them from your speech, there is an app called Credible. https://soundcredible.com/
I picked this up at CES two weeks ago. https://virtusxus.com/ . This Ai mouse has an easy button. I just push and talk. Workflow begins with a mouse, and it's just made things unbelievably easy.
This is super. I would love to know if anyone has ever used it and then connected it with an automation tool, that collects then and processes them through AI (grouping according to theme)
All audio and text notes are stored in encrypted form. The encryption keys are kept in a separate, secure repository. They are necessary to decrypt your notes when you request them to be processed by OpenAI for rewriting or transcription.
However, developers do not have direct access to these keys. A special multi-step validation process is required to use the keys, ensuring that your data remains fully protected.
We understand that privacy is a fundamental part of any service, so we take it seriously. As users, we also use other services ourselves and expect the same level of diligence from them. Since we are heavy users of our own product, we want our privacy to be respected as well.
I use AudioPen and am a big fan. Apart from some of the use cases you mentioned above, I also use it for student feedback. I record my feedback on student presentations using AudioPen. While it is generating the rewrite in my chosen style, I download the audio file and save it. I then email the students a link to the audio file and a cut-and-pasted version of AudioPen's text output. That way, the students get my feedback in spoken and written form.
Great post, as usual.

Curious when you decide to use one vs the other — do you have a preference in particular use-cases?

Incidentally, I'm using Flow to post this comment. Thanks!

I have a strong concern for these tools that I do not see being addressed. Who else can hear them? How are they kept secure and private?
Hello, David!
Security is a top priority for us at Letterly.
All audio and text notes are stored in encrypted form. The encryption keys are kept in a separate, secure repository. They are necessary to decrypt your notes when you request them to be processed by OpenAI for rewriting or transcription.
However, developers do not have direct access to these keys. A special multi-step validation process is required to use the keys, ensuring that your data remains fully protected.

Very useful post from @jeremycaplan thanks for this.
