Indie App Spotlight: ‘VoicePen’ Converts Your Meetings and Lectures into Text Notes

Welcome to the Indie App Spotlight. Here, we present a weekly series from DMN dedicated to highlighting the newest apps emerging from the indie app scene. If you are a developer looking to showcase your app, feel free to reach out!

VoicePen is a versatile application available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro, designed to transcribe lectures, meetings, and any spoken content into organized notes. Utilizing OpenAI’s Whisper model ensures the transcriptions are both fast and accurate. Beyond just meeting minutes, VoicePen can also transcribe YouTube videos and various other online materials.

Key Features

VoicePen is capable of recording sessions up to 2 hours in length, making it perfect for long lectures and meetings. It allows for background recording, meaning you don’t have to keep the app open continuously. Once the recording is complete, it is processed with OpenAI’s Whisper model for precision. The app also gives you the option to revise the transcription, letting you modify its tone to suit your preferences.

Additionally, you can easily organize your notes with the built-in folder system, and VoicePen supports iCloud Sync, ensuring your notes are accessible across all your Apple devices. The app features home screen widgets, live activities, and Siri integration for enhanced usability.

As previously mentioned, VoicePen isn’t limited to live recordings. It can also transcribe audio from podcasts, YouTube videos, Zoom calls, and more.

Get the App

VoicePen is available for free on the App Store for devices running iOS 17, macOS Sonoma 14.0, or visionOS 1 and later. While the free version is quite functional, a premium subscription is required for unlimited recordings and summarization features, priced at $9.99/month or $44.99/year. Both subscription tiers come with free trials.
