Monologue

Monologue is an AI voice app that handles dictation, voice notes and bot-free meeting notes for Apple users who want one tool for everything they say. Rather than buying separate apps for voice typing, memos and meeting transcripts, you get all three in a single subscription across Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. It is made by Every, the company behind the Cora email assistant.

What is Monologue used for?

Monologue covers the main ways people turn speech into text during a workday.

• Dictating formatted text into any app, with formatting adapted to the context
• Adding names and jargon to a custom dictionary and dictating in more than 100 languages
• Recording, transcribing and summarizing voice notes, synced across Apple devices
• Capturing meetings on Mac from the microphone and system audio, with no bot in the call
• Transcribing offline with local models on the Mac
• Letting AI tools reach saved notes through MCP, an API and a CLI

Who Monologue is best for

Monologue suits founders, writers, product builders and other Apple users who dictate a lot and want meeting notes without a recording bot. People already paying for Every's bundle get it at no extra cost. Windows and Android users cannot use it, and teams that need shared meeting libraries and CRM sync will want a dedicated meeting tool.

Monologue pricing

As of October 2026, Monologue's free tier includes 1,000 dictation words, 10 recorded notes, offline transcription, context-aware formatting and support for more than 100 languages. Monologue Pro costs $15 per month billed monthly, or $144 per year billed annually, which works out to $12 per month. Pro adds unlimited dictation, unlimited recorded notes and bot-free meeting notes. Monologue Pro is also included in Every's software bundle with Cora, Spiral, Proof and Sparkle.

Monologue limitations

• It only runs on Apple platforms
• Meeting capture on Mac needs the optional Screen Recording permission
• The free tier's 1,000 words and 10 notes run out quickly with daily use
• It lacks the team features, CRM integrations and analytics of dedicated meeting assistants

Monologue vs alternatives

Wispr Flow is the stronger pick if you only want dictation and need Windows support. Granola is better for meeting notes when you want to type your own notes during calls and have AI expand them, with shared folders for teams. Yap Voice Typing is a lighter voice input tool. TalkNotes focuses on turning voice memos into structured text. Monologue wins for Apple users who want dictation, voice notes and bot-free meeting capture in a single subscription.

Tips for getting started with Monologue

Install it on both your Mac and iPhone so notes captured on the go appear next to desktop dictation. Add your common names and terms to the dictionary in the first week. Grant the Screen Recording permission on Mac only if you plan to record meetings. If you already subscribe to Every, check whether the bundle covers Pro before paying separately.
