Speechnotes

AI speech to text for dictation and transcription

Visit Speechnotes

Speechnotes is an online speech-to-text service that provides two main functions: a browser-based dictation notepad for real-time voice typing, and an automatic transcription service for audio and video files. It addresses the need for fast, private, and accurate conversion of spoken content into text, eliminating the time and effort of manual typing or waiting for human transcription.

The service includes a dictation notepad with voice commands for punctuation and formatting, and a transcription module that supports multiple languages, speaker diarization, timestamping, caption generation (SRT files), and AI summaries. It offers a Chrome extension for voice typing across web forms, a REST API with webhooks, Zapier integration, and companion mobile apps for Android and iOS. The transcription engine is powered by speech recognition from Google and Microsoft.

Speechnotes is designed for individuals and professionals such as journalists, students, authors, doctors, and businesses. The dictation notepad is available for free with ads, or as a premium ad-free version at a flat monthly rate. The transcription service is pay-as-you-go, priced per minute of audio, with no subscription required.
