letterly

Letterly is an AI voice-to-text app that turns speech into polished, formatted text in 90+ languages — dictate into any app, record meetings, or capture ideas with unlimited AI rewrites.

What is Letterly?

Letterly is a voice-to-text suite built around a simple idea: talking is five times faster than typing. It works three ways — dictating straight into any app on your device, recording your own thoughts for polished notes, and capturing meetings or lectures for structured transcripts with speaker splits and summaries. The app runs on every major platform including Apple Watch, supports over 90 languages with automatic detection and built-in translation, and imposes no limits on recordings or AI rewrites. It connects to your stack through Zapier, webhooks, and MCP so ChatGPT or Claude can work with your notes, and its founders say recordings are never used to train AI. Launched via AppSumo, it carries a 4.7/5 rating from 356 reviews.
