Speechnotes
Capture thoughts, create documents, and access on any device for convenient organization and productivity.
What is Speechnotes?
Speechnotes is a speech-to-text tool that converts spoken words into written documents. You speak into your device's microphone, and the tool transcribes your words in real time, creating text you can edit and save. It works across web browsers and mobile devices, so you can start dictating on your phone and pick up where you left off on your computer. The tool is useful for anyone who wants to capture ideas quickly without typing, whether that's notes during a meeting, drafting an email, or recording thoughts for later organisation.
