Hey Product Hunt! I’m Louis, an indie builder who created AudioPen (almost) by accident. I was just playing around, learning how to use OpenAI’s APIs. In the process, I built a barebones version of AudioPen as a tiny tool on my personal website. It was one among 3 other tiny tools I’d built that week. To my surprise (and luck), people seemed to really like AudioPen. So I decided to build it as a standalone tool. And damn – that was a good decision. In about 6 weeks since its launch, AudioPen has grown to become my most successful product yet. To say I’m grateful would be an understatement. --------- AudioPen is super simple to use. You don’t even have to log in to try it. 🎙️Just hit record. 🗣️Then start talking. ✍🏽AudioPen will listen to you ramble, and rewrite your words in clearly summarized text. It’ll cut out the ‘ummms’, the ‘you knows’, and the ‘likes’ (I’m guilty of this one). It’ll remove unnecessarily repeated chunks of text. And it’ll give you a neatly written note that you can use however you like. A journal entry, a message, a tweet, an email, or even a blog post. Whatever you want. With AudioPen, you can write content that reflects the quality of your thoughts, not your proficiency with words. Whether you’re a lawyer, a writer, a speaker, or a thinker – AudioPen can help you structure your messy thoughts in a fraction of the time. And that’s just the free version. --------- AudioPen Prime comes with a bunch of extra benefits. 🖋️Customize the style of your notes🖋️ Get AudioPen to rewrite your words in the style of your favorite writer. For instance, you can ask it to write in the style of Paul Graham (my personal favorite), JK Rowling, or even Shakespeare (and if you really want to have fun, you could ask it to rewrite your words as a poem!) 📄Capture more (or less) detail in your notes📄 Change the length of the notes AudioPen writes for you. Capture more detail by asking for longer, more complex notes, or keep things super concise with short summaries. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇫🇷🇮🇹Write in multiple languages🇩🇰🇵🇹🇭🇷 AudioPen understands most major languages, and with AudioPen Prime, you can get it to write in a different language as well. Perfect if you want to translate something, or even if you just want to speak and write in your native tongue. ⚡Export your notes via Zapier⚡ Automatically export your notes to 5000+ apps with AudioPen’s Zapier integration (more integrations coming soon). This lets you add these notes to your primary database of notes (for example in Notion). .. there are a few more benefits as well, and I’m adding new ones each week, but this list is enough for now. ----------- Anyway, if you do try the product, I’d love to hear what you think. And if you decide to upgrade to AudioPen Prime, you can use the code PRODUCTHUNT to get 20% off. It’s valid on both – the annual pass and the lifetime deal (for the first 200 people who use it). Thank you for making it to the end of this rather long post. I appreciate your perseverance. See you in the comments section! Louis --------- PS: Thank you, @chrismessina for hunting AudioPen. I’ll do my best to make you proud! PPS: I’m going to attempt to stay awake for as long as I can so I can respond to each one of you in real-time. Comments, questions, feedback, reviews, and good vibes are all welcome. Cheers!

Just wanted to say that — imo — your copywriting "The easiest way to convert messy thoughts into clear text" is just... fantastic.

Love the simplicity of AudioPen! Great tool for capturing thoughts on the go and quickly turning them into written text. Saves me so much time. Highly recommend!

Have been lucky as an early adopter, amazing tool. Great work Louis and thanks 😊 keep going !

Awesome and clear idea! Just thought about doing something similar yesterday when I was on my daily walk. One suggestion - I usually make notes sentences long one by one during say 1 hour. Would be great if the app sort these thoughts in some way. By categories for example. Also, can you please tell what app did you use for such zoom effects in the video?

Can’t believe I missed this launch! This is a brilliant, simple idea Louis! I love your authenticity and the way you built a product scratching your own itch. Big congrats on the launch 🌟

Super useful tool and @louispereira23 comes across as the nicest person on Twitter. The best thing is you can even use it on your phone to summarize audio notes. Looking forward to continue following Louis' story!

Beautifully crafted and Kudos. May be we do not need any report editors. Use this and record, a summary will be generated and the TV anchor reads out. Any zoom integration, so Minutes of meetings can be auto generated?

The sound quality is excellent. The user interface is very simple. It's designed for humans. This product works great. I'd like to learn more about it and understand its concept better. As a prime user, I utilize it efficiently.

incredible idea. however, i tested with a few voice records but it didn't gave me anything impressive. i hope you will improve the quality of outputs. thanks for making and sharing it. congratulations on the launch 👏

Using it daily as kind of mix of soundboard for myself and capturing ideas/wordflow for unique/personal angle blog topics that I can flesh out with some AI help later. The summaries are great for this...

I use voice notes to talk things out but this is 1000000x better flow and organization wise. 100/10

This is really great. It would be so easier just to pen down our thoughts at any time.✍️

I'm not aware of a specific tool or product called "AudioPen" that converts audio recordings to text, but there are many transcription services and software available that can help with this task. These tools can transcribe spoken words into written text, making it easier to organize and edit your thoughts. Some popular transcription services include Rev, Temi, and Trint, which offer automated transcription at varying levels of accuracy and pricing. There are also software programs like Dragon Naturally Speaking, which use voice recognition technology to transcribe spoken words into text. Regardless of the tool you choose, it's important to keep in mind that the accuracy of the transcription will depend on several factors, such as the quality of the audio recording, the clarity of the speaker's voice, and the complexity of the spoken content.http://herboganic.com/shop/ols/p...
