Monologue

What it does

Monologue turns speech into polished text for whatever app you are writing in, and it also saves voice notes that are transcribed and summarized. On Mac it can record your microphone and system audio together, so a meeting can be captured without adding a bot to the call.

People use it to dictate prompts for coding agents, reply to messages and email, and capture thoughts on a walk or from Apple Watch. Distinct features include a personal dictionary, formatting that adapts to the app in use, and MCP, API, and CLI access that lets AI tools work with saved notes.

It suits individuals, especially builders and writers who prefer speaking to typing, and runs on Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. A free trial covers 1,000 dictation words and 10 recorded notes, and Monologue Pro costs $15 per month or $144 per year. Offline transcription is available on Mac, while smart formatting and syncing need a connection.

What it can do

• Dictate text into any app, with formatting adjusted to the app you are in
• Record and transcribe voice notes, with summaries for longer recordings
