About Alice
Hi. This is Alice. A voice recorder and auto-transcribing system. That's fast, safe and cost-effective. It's the first evolution of the audio recording app in 20 years. Try it out. It's designed for real journalism under guidance from prolific writers at Wired, New York Times, Inc, Axios, Politico, Gimlet Media, and others along with faculty at prominent schools of Journalism.
Privacy is the central philosophy: no ads, no tracking, no tricks. Alice requires only an email address to use.
Alice is an advanced product with a unique design, which will still feel familiar and comfortable. No buttons, only two gestures: no need to look at your phone in the middle of a conversation and easy to use whether you're right-handed or left-handed or visually impaired.
Speed is the final principle: it's really really fast while remaining reliable.
A fair few writers have shaped the product and the business model and we continue to recruit writers and journalists to join and strengthen the community behind it. In the words of writer Adam Fisher, "Alice is a word processor for audio".
Alice is structured as a simple business: we provide something of value, and if you like it enough, you pay for it, and we get to work again tomorrow. Get started with a full-featured free trial. No subscriptions, pay-as-you-go pricing when you're ready.

* Group payments! Share your transcription time easily with your newsroom, your team, your group.
* Bookmark a point in the recording now with double-tap. You know what, some people like to just tap the phone screen while recording..and were unknowingly creating many, many bookmarks. To accommodate that, and still keep bookmarking simple, we changed it to a double-tap.
* You can now view your remaining transcription time in the app.
* Further enhanced your privacy by removing the one external vendor library we were using to track crashes. We are now able to do this with our own code.
* A lot of testing and little enhancements.

You can now see remaining transcription time in the app itself. So far this was already visible in the transcription emails you get, or in the website. Now this important metric is clearly visible.

Automatically resume recording in case of an interruption. Plus some small improvements.
4.3.1
Oct 21, 2022
We removed the decibel meter. It was more clutter than useful. It was also behind a few random crashes we noticed - that part of the app was very very old, and some of those APIs have been deprecated. Happy recording!
