Audiopen FAQs

The following questions and answers are available on the official Audiopen website.

Q. Clicking the record button does not work.

When I click on the record button and nothing happens, this problem occurs because the app has not allowed you to access the microphone.

If you're using a phone or tablet, simply turn on the setting that allows access to your browser's microphone. (If you're using iOS, useHereDownload the web app from Safari. Then go to Settings> Safari> Microphone> Allow Access. Doing this will prevent you from being asked for permission every time you open the app).

If you're using it on a desktop, make the same settings in your browser to allow the AudioPen to access the microphone.

If you are using Google Chrome, a permission prompt will appear as shown below.

Select Allow.

Q. It takes too long to memorize the audio.

If you've been waiting for a while and your app transcription and summarization seem to be taking a long time, consider refreshing the page.

After this, click on the account icon (top left corner) and click Retry Transcription.

Q. I upgraded to PRIME (paid plan). It still says free account.

It may take about 1 minute for your account to be automatically upgraded.
If the issue persists after 1 minute, the common cause is that you are not logged in during the upgrade.

If so, please send an email to hello@audiopen.ai or contact us via Troubleshooting. We will resolve the issue manually.

Q. Is there a dedicated smartphone app for AudioPen?

Currently, there is none.

However, web apps that can be used from smartphonesClick hereYou can download it from By using this web app, you can use AudioPen from your smartphone without any problems.

If you are using an iPhone, here is a tutorial that shows you how to get an AudioPen on your device.

Q. Can I upload audio files to the AudioPen?

If you are a Prime user, you can.

You can upload up to 50 files per month. Each file has a maximum size of 25 MB.

Q. Can I download audio after recording?

If you are a Prime user, you can. However, you can download the audio only immediately after creating the note. And you can download the audio only before saving the note to your library.

The audio of your notes is automatically deleted immediately after you create them, so you won't be able to download them after saving them to your library.

Q. Can I type a note and have the AudioPen summarize it?

If you are a Prime user, you can.

Press the pen icon in the bottom right corner of the page (on desktop).

A window will open where you can enter the text, so enter the text you want to rewrite.

Press the "Rewrite" button to organize and rewrite the text nicely.

Q. Does the app work in multiple languages?

Yes, it is possible

The AudioPen can work with most languages around the world. Also, click on the settings button in the upper right corner to choose from a list of languages you want to use.

Q. What is the difference between a folder and a tag?

You can attach multiple tags to a single note. However, you can only put a single note in one folder.

Think of folders as a higher-level organization than tags.

Also, think of tags as a way to filter related notes in your library, especially if you share multiple common topics.

Q. I recorded for a long time, but the AudioPen could only transcribe the first part

This problem occurs due to a problem that occurs on your phone when the screen is off.

AudioPen runs in the browser, and when most phones turn off their screens (even when the screen goes dark), they block access to the microphone.

Q. Is there a money-back guarantee?

If you try the free version of AudioPen, you'll know what you can do before purchasing the Prime version. Therefore, few people will refund (in fact, few people use the money-back guarantee so far).

However, if you would like a refund because the AudioPen is not working, please contact hello@audiopen.ai via email or send us a message via the feedback form on the website within 30 days of purchase.

Q. Can I use the purchase price of AudioPen Prime as an expense?

You should be able to do it (answer by AudioPen).

Of course, it is up to your business to decide whether you can make it an expense. But in most cases, you can spend money on a productivity tool like AudioPen.
