Letterly alternative
Letterly polishes your ramble. VoxNota remembers it.
You hit record, talk for five minutes, and somewhere in there is the idea. Letterly turns that into a clean message you can send. VoxNota keeps the thinking itself: every note titled, tagged and searchable, so next month you can ask what you decided and get an answer.
No signup, no credit card · GDPR compliant · Your ideas stay yours

What VoxNota does
Your rambles, kept and askable.
Talk for up to an hour.
No note counter on any plan. Plans count recording minutes, not notes, so ten short notes cost the same as one long one.
Structure without effort.
Every recording is summarised, titled and tagged, and the dates and action items are pulled out for you.
Ask what you said.
Search by meaning, or ask: "What did I decide about the launch?" VoxNota answers from your own notes.
Several voices, when you need them.
Record a conversation out loud and VoxNota tells the speakers apart.
Questions
Straight answers.
- Does VoxNota rewrite my notes into messages?
- VoxNota summarises and structures each note, but it does not rewrite it into an email or post in a chosen style. If a finished message is what you need, Letterly is built for that.
- Can VoxNota type into other apps?
- No. VoxNota keeps your notes in one place. You can copy or share any note, and paid plans can read notes through the API.
- Is VoxNota free?
- Yes to start. 60 minutes need no signup, and signing in with Google gives you 500 minutes of lifetime recording, free forever. Paid plans add recording space.
- Who is VoxNota for?
- People who think out loud: founders, writers, researchers, and anyone whose thoughts run faster than their typing.
