Say it now. Make sense of it later.

A voice memo app gives you a file you will never open again. This gives you the words, on your computer, in whatever shape you asked for.

yapyap library showing write-up lenses — summary, actions, and custom views from one recording

In short: record yourself thinking out loud, at your desk or on a walk, and yapyap transcribes it locally and writes it up. No note-taking while you talk, and no listening back at half speed to find the one useful minute.

How to record a voice note

  • At your desk: start yapyap and talk. Stop when the thought runs out.
  • Away from it: record in yapyap go on your phone, offline if you have no signal.
  • Transcription and the write-up run on your own machine when you stop.
  • Apply a lens (summary, action list, or a format you wrote) to get the note into a usable shape.

What you get

  • Searchable text instead of a wall of untitled audio files.
  • A summary of a twenty-minute ramble that takes twenty seconds to read.
  • The full transcript kept underneath, for when the summary dropped the bit you wanted.
  • The same archive your meetings live in, so a note and the call it came from sit together.

This is yapping with a net under it: talk at the speed you think, and let the structure be applied afterwards rather than demanded up front.

FAQ

Can I record a voice note without anyone else present?
Yes. Most yapyap recordings are one person thinking out loud. Nothing joins, and there is no call to be on.
How do I turn a long voice memo into notes?
Record it, let yapyap transcribe it on your computer, and apply a lens for a summary or an action list. A twenty-minute memo becomes something you can read in under a minute, with the transcript still there underneath.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. Recording, transcription, and the write-up all run on your own hardware, so a plane or a basement changes nothing.

Record your meetings. See who spoke. Turn one recording into the write-up you need, on your computer, with no cloud account.
