What it does

Vowise is a voice-first notes app: you speak, it transcribes into editable text with the original audio kept for playback, and the records feed a daily journal, weekly to yearly AI reviews, an AI chat with long-term memory and a content drafting studio. It runs as desktop dictation with a global hotkey and floating recorder on Windows, macOS and Linux, as iOS and Android apps, on the web and as a Chrome capture extension. It is operated by Zhuhai Dekuai Technology Co., Ltd. and is paid for with transcription credits.
