r/writers on Reddit: What are your favorite mobile speech-to-text writing tools or apps?

June 17, 2024 -

I've been obsessed with voice input for years. I've used the following tools on my phone:

AudioPen

I like it for quick recordings. I think it is a good one for initial practice with speech to text writing. You can change the writing output easily (voice, length, tone, format). I was an early adopter so I got great pricing for the premium version which is now $99 per year. I don’t like the 15 minute time limit and inability to record while switching between apps. https://audiopen.ai

2. Otter

Great for conversations, but you can use it on a monologue too. I’m using Otter to write a course with a group with our virtual meeting transcripts. Paid Otter Pro version is $16.99 per month. https://otter.ai

3. Ultimate Brain Voice Notes

This is my favorite. It integrates with my Notion because I use Thomas Frank’s Ultimate Brain system for Notion. Takes more initial setup, but it's glorious for reducing my administrative burden and digital overwhelm. All I have to do is hit record from my phone, and the transcription shows up in my Notion notes inbox with an AI generated title and even follow up items and a summary. $30 per month for a paid Pipedream account, plus about $0.40/hour for voice recordings. I’m constantly using it. https://thomasjfrank.com/how-to-transcribe-audio-to-text-with-chatgpt-and-notion/

4. Gboard - using it now to write this post by dictating in real time. I use it on my phone to write some texts, emails, etc.

I know I left out Dragon Nuance, the OG of dictation everyone says is the gold standard. I haven’t tried it yet. I think I might explore it next. $150 for year for Dragon Anywhere.

Any other favorite mobile speech-to-text apps you love for writing?

There are accessibility options within Microsoft OS that you can use. I started looking into these because now that I'm older I'm not as dexterous as I once was.

A text-to-speech app with universal to almost universal integration? I mostly just want to be able to have text-to-speech to read/hear on Google Chrome on Android, but universal integration is better.

What you need is Google Reading Mode . I uninstalled all TTS apps after Google launched it sometime back. More on reddit.com

Best Text to Speech App

Great question! We recently launched a free Text-to-Speech app that converts any file into well-structured audiobooks. You can upload any book in .epub, .mobi, .fb2, or PDF format, or even provide a URL link. You can pause, resume, and start from any point in the book. It also highlights the words as they are spoken, making it easy to follow along. Additionally, you have the option to download the audio as an MP3 file to share with your friends, colleagues, or classmates. The app Frateca is available on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. Give it a try and let us know what you think! More on reddit.com

Best Text to Speech (TTS) reader for Android and Windows?

Microsoft has a free (and friendly!) accessibility helpdesk that can help you get answers. https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/Accessibility/disability-answer-desk In fact, they have a section specifically for visually impaired (or VI) that shows you how to use the built in Narrator and Reading Mode tools. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/accessibility-tools-for-vision-b3c57606-e0af-46d2-97b4-fa6b5fba4fa1 If you want a third party solution, NVDA is a free screen reader and if the default voices are not to your liking, you can purchase some high quality ones to use with it. https://www.nvaccess.org/download/ Good luck!

Looking for a good text to speech app or something along.

Is this the Kindle version? If so then let Alexa read it to you. The odds are good that Alexa can read all the books in your Kindle library to you. On Android, install the Alexa app, and sign in with your Amazon username and password. then tap play, and scroll down until you see your Kindle library. You should see "Enable Kindle assistive reader" Tap that and you go to the setting and turn it on. Now when you go back to play you should see your Kindle library You should be able to do this with your iPhone too. More on reddit.com
