We continue to review voice journaling apps and share our thoughts. Below is a list of the top 10 voice journaling apps on the market. We’ve tried them all and used each for at least 10 days before adding them to this list.
- Lid (iOS) – This relatively new voice journaling app is as powerful as it is simple. The app allows users to record a stream of consciousness journal whenever they please and then uses AI to turn that stream of consciousness into a neatly formatted journal entry. In addition, the app has a trained AI persona that offers an audio SoundBite to each journal entry. The SoundBites are quite the treat as they are personalized and offer some great and uplifting feedback to our journal entries. LINK
