Voice to text for writers
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
For writers with packed schedules: voice-to-text that formats novels, scripts, and notes professionally. Write faster. Write more.
Voice to text, reimagined for writers. Speak your novels, screenplays, or notes—get formatted, polished text back. Fast transcription that understands what you're writing.
THE WRITER'S TIME PROBLEM, SOLVED
You have the ideas. You have the stories. What you don't have is hours. Work, school, chores, life gets in the way of getting your ideas on the page.
Not anymore.
SPEAK YOUR STORY
Pipe Dream is intelligent voice transcription built for creative work. Speak naturally and get back properly formatted text—whether you're:
→ Writing your next novel
→ Crafting a screenplay or script
→ Drafting blog posts or articles
→ Capturing meeting notes or ideas
→ Recording ideas before they disappear (David Lynch would be proud)
WRITE DURING THE IN-BETWEEN OF BUSY LIFE
Commuting? Draft a chapter.
Walking the dog? Capture dialogue.
Lunch break? Write three pages.
Can't sleep? Record that idea now.
SMART FORMATTING THAT ADAPTS TO DIFFERENT PROJECTS
Toggle between two main modes:
→ Novel mode: Clean paragraphs, dialogue formatting, and chapter headers
→ Screenplay mode: Industry-standard script formatting with scene headings, character names, and proper dialogue structure
Export your draft to your favorite writing software with industry-standard project and display files like FDX, PDF, Word, Fountain, and TXT. Take your transcribed draft and start refining sooner rather than later.
BUILT FOR REAL WRITERS
Whether you're a published author on deadline, an aspiring novelist squeezing creativity into lunch breaks, or a screenwriter catching ideas between meetings, Pipe Dream helps you actually finish what you start.
Because the difference between aspiring and accomplished isn't talent—it's getting the words on the page.
Stop losing ideas. Start capturing pages.
