Whisper Memos - Speech to text 4+

Whisper Memos has got to be one of the best apps I've ever installed on my iPhone, period. It has become indispensable to me since I started using it a couple of weeks ago.

I don't know if the way you think is similar to my thought process, but I often have an idea that flashes into my mind, and by the time I open the appropriate app to record my ideas, another idea or some distraction causes my idea to disappear, and it's too late to record it.

However, with Whisper Memos, both for the iPhone and Apple Watch, my ideas can be recorded instantly and sent to my email inbox, where I can later distribute these ideas and tasks in the appropriate app at my leisure.

You can also ask Whisper Memos to remind you about your idea or task and it will then appear on your iPhone lock screen until you process and delete it.

I place a high value on the fleeting and often unrecoverable ideas and tasks that come to mind, and forgetting them almost as quickly as they appear in my mind happens all too frequently, and often when it is not convenient to find and open the appropriate app on my iPhone.

The Apple Watch integration is especially valuable to me, as I only have to tap once on the Whisper Memos complication that lives on my Apple Watch screen and it starts recording instantly, and then stops recording with a single tap on my Apple Watch screen.

Whisper Memos is a subscription-based product, and I know that bothers some people. However, the app is in active development, and the developer is very responsive to users. In my opinion, Whisper Memos is definitely worth the annual subscription price, especially when you calculate how little it will cost you per month.

I highly recommend Whisper Memos.

I appreciate how straightforward this app is — you hit record, you talk, you end the recording and then it processes your speech and emails nicely formatted paragraphs to you. I don't like listening to voice memos but still wanted the benefits/speed of thinking out loud and an organized transcript I could look at later, so this app really fulfilled that need. Thank you!

Nice little app but after trial comes in as a pretty expensive extravagance. I deleted it.
