What ClearText is

ClearText is an iOS and Android app for turning voice recordings into searchable, shareable text notes. The service says AI transcribes recordings in seconds, and its Free plan names Whisper AI. Users can tag notes manually or say “Tag” followed by a tag name at the end of a recording. Notes can be searched by their text or tags, shared through email, messaging apps, or social media, and copied to the clipboard. Free costs $0 per month and includes 30 minutes of transcription monthly, in-app recording only, and a five-minute maximum per recording. It does not include file uploads. Premium costs $9.99 per month and includes 300 minutes monthly, recordings up to one hour, and MP3, M4A, and WAV uploads, plus priority storage and export. The privacy policy says submitted audio is sent to OpenAI for transcription and that ClearText does not sell personal information. It says recordings are deleted from active systems within “[XX days]” by default unless users choose account storage. The terms license the app and site for personal, non-commercial use.
