Transcribe audio to text

Overview

Features & Capabilities

PenPal is your voice-first notetaking pal. Just talk — PenPal records, transcribes, and turns what you said into clean summaries, to-do items, and calendar events, automatically. Spend less time typing and organizing, and more time thinking out loud.

TRANSCRIBE ANYTIME — EVEN LOCKED Tap once and start recording. PenPal transcribes live and keeps going in the background, so you never lose a word — even with your phone locked or while you switch apps.

SUMMARIES AUTOMATED Every recording becomes a clean, time-stamped summary organized by topic. Skim a 30-minute conversation in seconds and jump straight to the part you need.

YOUR TO-DOS AND MEETINGS, HANDLED PenPal pulls the action items and meetings out of what you said — with due dates and times. Review the suggestions, accept the ones you want, and they land in your to-do list and on your calendar.

SYNC TO YOUR REAL CALENDAR Accepted events sync to your Apple Calendar — and onward to the Google, Outlook, or iCloud accounts you already use. No extra setup.

ASK YOUR NOTES ANYTHING Chat with your entire library. Ask "what did I decide about the budget?" and PenPal answers, citing the exact notes it came from.

STAY ORGANIZED Folders, tags, favorites, and search keep everything findable. Tap any line of a transcript to jump to that moment in the audio. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your notes live on your device. PenPal sends transcript text to its AI to generate summaries and answers — and never your audio. No ads, no tracking. Talk it out. PenPal does the rest.

PenPal Plus is an optional auto-renewing subscription ($5/month) for unlimited notes, AI features, and storage.

User Reviews

I downloaded this thinking it was just a transcript app that saved the text to read back. I was surprised that it was much more than that. Being able to summarize all the main points of the meetings helps to sift through all the fluff. It also gives questions to ask that could help with actionable steps after the meeting. I’m still getting familiar with the app but so far it has exceeded expectations.

Currently using for both daily work meetings, as well as with my private clients for personal training. Allows me to be hands-free while working with clients and keeps me from the distractions of note taking. Love the ability for it to create summaries for my hour long meetings into easy to digest material. Would definitely recommend giving this a try!
