VoxNotes is a privacy-focused voice notes application that leverages on-device Whisper AI for transcription. It offers two distinct modes to cater to user needs: Privacy Mode and Speed Mode.
- Privacy Mode: This mode ensures that your audio never leaves your device. Whisper AI runs locally via WebAssembly, meaning nothing is uploaded or tracked. It functions completely offline, even in airplane mode, and requires no account to start. This mode is free forever.
- Speed Mode: For users who require faster transcription, Speed Mode offers instant cloud-based processing. Audio is deleted immediately after transcription. This is an opt-in feature per note, available for $7 per month.
VoxNotes is designed for individuals who think out loud, enabling them to capture ideas three times faster than typing. The app supports 99 languages, handling accents and various linguistic nuances effectively. Transcripts are refined in real-time as you speak and are available after completion. Notes can be exported in multiple formats, including Markdown, plain text, and PDF, with options to push them to platforms like Notion, Obsidian, or Google Docs, ensuring your data is not locked into proprietary formats.
Key features include:
- On-device Whisper AI via WebAssembly for zero server round-trips in Privacy Mode.
- Optional cloud processing for speed, with audio deleted immediately after use.
- No account required to start using Privacy Mode; an account is only needed for sync and Speed Mode.
- Support for 99 languages, including accents and less common ones.
- Export options to Markdown, TXT, and PDF, with integrations to Notion, Obsidian, and Google Docs.
- Notes are stored in open formats, ensuring data ownership and portability.
- A Progressive Web App (PWA) for instant installation on any browser.
VoxNotes prioritizes user privacy by making it the default setting, with cloud-based speed as an optional add-on. This contrasts with other voice apps where cloud processing is the standard and privacy is a premium feature.
