Writing thatkeeps up withyour thoughts
The idea is already there. ListenUp helps you get it into words.
Speak naturally, and ListenUp turns rough thoughts into clear writing you can use across Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Your words stay yours, just clearer.
Available for Mac, iPhone, and iPad
Click inside the editor, then say a sentence you would normally type.
Example: "I would love to write with my voice. ListenUp will help me achieve this!"
Why ListenUp works
Speaking is natural. Writing needs shape.
What sounds clear out loud can feel messy on the page. We pause, restart, repeat ourselves, and leave sentences unfinished. Traditional dictation writes all of that down.
ListenUp shapes natural speech into clear writing while keeping the meaning intact. The result reads like something you can send, not a rough transcript.
You say
“Okay so, um, quick message to Sarah... hey Sarah, I went through the proposal and I think it's, it's mostly there, honestly. The timeline though, the timeline feels too tight, so can we, um, can we push the launch to March? That gives the team actual room to test. Anyway, uh, happy to walk through it tomorrow if that's easier.”
Hey Sarah,
I went through the proposal and I think it's mostly there, honestly. The timeline, though, feels too tight, so can we push the launch to March? That gives the team actual room to test.
Anyway, happy to walk through it tomorrow if that's easier.
A draft to review. You decide what gets sent.
Speak the thought first
Start with the thought, not the perfect sentence. Say what you mean the way it naturally comes out.
Shape it into writing
Pauses, restarts, and filler disappear. What is left is your point, in your words.
Stay in control
ListenUp writes the draft, but nothing leaves without you. You decide what changes, what stays, and what goes out.
Works where you already write
On Mac, iPhone, and iPad, without changing how you work.
