In fact, this AI tool helped us organize and resolve complex thoughts.
To briefly describe AudioPen's functionality, it is a handy AI tool that allows you to record audio and automatically create organized notes.
When I first started using AudioPen, I wondered if I really needed it, but after actually using it for a year, I couldn't let it go.
What is the AI voice memo tool "AudioPen"?
AudioPenis a magical app that instantly turns what you talk about into organized written notes.
No more tedious note-taking or having to listen again later. Just speak and your words will turn into neatly organized notes.
If you're stuck on an "uh" or "ah," don't worry, AudioPen will organize the whole thing for you and create a memo that gets to the point.
It is super easy to use.Just open the app and talk about what you want to talk about.
AudioPen will do all the rest. It doesn't matter how you speak. It takes what you say and immediately turns it into easy-to-understand text.
This allows you to quickly voice record your ideas and preserve them in writing.
How to use AudioPen
It is easy to use.
- Press the record button.
- Speak into the microphone
- Select output language and writing style
Just do this and AudioPen will listen to what you say, accurately summarize the audio, and rewrite it into notes.
Just talk into the microphone as if you were talking to a friend.
Record and press the stop button.
Pressing this stop button will automatically create a memo.
Wait a couple of minutes.
All you have to do is sit in your chair, have a cup of coffee and wait. (You can also work on other tabs as long as you don't close the page.)
A text memo was created in about a minute and a half.
What you speak into the microphone with AudioPen is automatically organized to create a summary memo.
Here is the actual generated text.
Hello, my name is Tsuyoshi Fujii. I would like to introduce myself.
I am a digital marketer and run a marketing agency, providing Internet marketing support mainly for English-speaking countries. In particular, I provide a lot of support for content marketing and advertising management, as well as consulting with clients on their strategies and providing and proposing specific tools.
We also run a blog and YouTube channel in Japan explaining marketing tools and software, and introduce information from the English-speaking world in an easy-to-understand manner. We carefully select and introduce only the most practical and reliable tools from among the many available in the market.
Recently, we have been focusing on proposing tools and software to busy entrepreneurs and marketers to improve their efficiency. For example, ChatGPT, which uses AI technology to generate high-quality text, is not enough.
Therefore, we propose to use RPA and automation tools to streamline routine and repetitive tasks. We believe this will improve the efficiency of not only text generation and image/video creation with AI, but also the efficiency of the entire business.
With the proliferation of AI technology and automation tools over the last year and into this year, automation is expected to become increasingly important in the future. Therefore, small business entrepreneurs and busy marketers are urged to incorporate automation tools early on.
We will continue to provide a variety of support services and be available to answer your questions and requests. Thank you in advance for your continued support.
You may be surprised by the audio notes above.
My name (Fujii Tsuyoshi) and specific names such as ChatGPT are also accurately transcribed.

Q. Can I upload audio files to AudioPen?
Possible if you are a Prime user.
You can upload up to 50 files per month. The maximum size of each file is 25 MB.
Q. Can I download the audio after recording?
This is possible if you are a Prime user. However, you can only download audio immediately after you create a note. And you can only download audio before saving the note to the library.
The audio of the memo is automatically deleted immediately after it is created, so it cannot be downloaded after it is saved in the library.
Q. Can I enter notes and have AudioPen summarize them?
Possible if you are a Prime user.
Press the pen icon in the lower right corner of the page (on the desktop).
A window will open in which you can enter text, and enter the text you wish to rewrite.
Pressing the "Rewrite" button will rewrite that text in a well organized manner.

Yes, it is possible.
AudioPen is available in most of the world's languages. You can also click on the Settings button in the upper right corner to select from a list of languages to use.
Q. What is the difference between a folder and a tag?
A single memo can have multiple tags. However, a memo can only be in one folder.
Think of a folder as a higher level of organization than a tag.
Also, think of tags as a way to filter related memos in the library, especially when sharing multiple common topics.
Q. I recorded for a long time, but AudioPen could only transcribe the first part
The cause of this problem is a problem that occurs on the phone when the screen is in the off state.
