Capture your thoughts, feelings, and memories with Talkbook — the first video journaling app that now writes your journal *for you*. Record your reflections naturally and authentically by talking it out. No blank pages. No overthinking. Just press record and be yourself. Talk it Out Journaling has never been easier. Open the camera, start talking, and let your thoughts flow. Talkbook records and transcribes everything you say so you can focus on expressing what's on your mind — not how to phrase it. A Journal That Writes Itself After your recording, Talkbook analyzes what you said and turns it into a full written journal entry ready the next day. Your thoughts are organized by the topics you spoke about and how each one made you feel. It's like watching your mind sort itself out, helping you understand not just how you feel but why. Read or Rewatch Relive your memories your way. Read the entries that were written for you or rewatch your video journals. With Talkbook, your journal is always available, however you prefer to relive it. Membership With the Talkbook Membership, you can track your mood patterns with deep insights and guided exercises that help you understand your emotions better. You can also capture more than just two entries a day, journal up to ten times daily, whenever you feel like it. Also enrich your entries with tags by adding helpful details like the weather, your location, and more. Lastly, securely back up your new video journals, giving you peace of mind that your latest entries are protected. (Only new videos are backed up.)

So I was skeptical at first because of the lack of reviews on this app, so I figured I’d help with that and leave my own review.I’ve had this app for a few days now and I absolutely love it! It’s so easy to use and exactly like it was advertised to me (on TikTok). I have two little things to say about the recording part, but other than these things (which are fully understandable and reasonable lol) the app has been amazing so far!1. You can only record a certain limit for your entry (like how long your entry can be), but it is a decent length.2. You only get one entry a day, but if you get premium, you can record up to 4 times a day.The captions are sometimes a bit off, but that’s to be expected with all kinds of voice dictating things, especially with background noise, just like how text-to-speech is in messaging.However, you can play your entry when you’ve finished recording and easily edit your text before you save your video.Also, I love how the app automatically trims the moments where you’re quiet or thinking of what to say, which keeps the videos short and sweet!So far this app has been really nice for me and I love mini vlogging every day <3

I think this app is cute and straight to the point. My new years resolution was to journal more and this app is literally perfect for that. You can record up to ~800 words (maybe more I forgot) per prompt. If you want to record several times per day though, that’s premium which isn’t a big deal to me. It has like a AI feature that looks at your entry and recommends tips or encouragement and etc which I was skeptical of but it’s actually turned out to be a good feature in my option. I have some things that should definitely be fixed 1. Oh my god this app does get buggy sometime and it can be annoying. Maybe you’ll have to close it and reopen sometimes when recording, or sometimes when I just try to open it, it lags and doesn’t let me click anything when I open OR it just won’t open. Thankfully it doesn’t lag THAT MUCH for me but it does happen. Still a good app.2. I really wish I could see more customization features in the future! It’s all black and boring and that would be kinda cool if there was maybe different backgrounds or something!!

We’re working on fixing the bugs to make the app smoother, and we love the idea of adding more customization. Stay tuned!

This has made journaling so much easier because I can just talk it all out. I don’t have to sit down and try to write. I can just say what’s on my mind like I am talking to a friend. It honestly helps me process what’s going on so much better than writing. I have two things that I don’t like. I wish I could edit the text after I did the journal. Sometimes I’m in a rush and want to get the entry in but don’t have the time to edit the transcript. And I wish I could do more than 3 entries. Some days are just one entry days. Other days there’s just so much going on that I feel like 4500 words just is not enough. And today happens to be one of those days. I reached the word limit for journal entry number one this morning at 8 AM. And there is going to be so much more happening today that I just don’t think that three is enough. And because there’s so much happening that I need to get out that’s another reason I wish that I could go back and edit the transcript afterwards. Also wish there was a 2x speed for the video playback. That would be really nice.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We totally get the struggle of wanting to get everything out without the time crunch. We’re actively working on improving the ability for longer video entries, and we hear you on that!We also love the 2x playback idea, and it’s definitely something we’re considering. And we totally understand how you’d want to edit the transcript after the fact. This is also something we are taking a look at. Thanks again for sharing your feedback, we’re always working on making the journaling experience even better, so don't hesitate to reach out if you have more ideas or feedback.

deleting my entries… losing hope

i downloaded this a while back and i retried it again today, but i think maybe it’s time to lose hope and try voice to text… I’m a big fan of this app. I love talking about these things with people, but sometimes I do get a little nervous to share so it’s nice to save them somewhere. However, I’ve had the issue where I would get stuck at the cover, and the video wouldn’t load. that would be fine if i could at least save the text and copy and paste it into a diff journal, but i had to delete all of what I said. i remember one day i was feeling especially upset and ended up making it three times before giving up. i think the app again, it helps a lot and is wonderful, but i do feel upset at losing multiple entries. I do know it is capable of saving my 20 words entry that i used to test, but it won’t save your longer entries. Beware of lost emotions and time…
