What It Is

GhostWriter is an AI voice transcription and rewriting tool for Android. It is positioned less as a traditional meeting recorder and more as a way to “turn spoken input into text that is ready to send.” Users can speak naturally, even with pauses, filler words, and self-corrections. The system first transcribes the audio with Whisper, then uses AI to rewrite it into clearer, more grammatically polished text.

Core Features

The product supports four ways to launch it: a floating button, voice keyboard, shake gesture, and edge swipe. It can be used in any text field on the phone, making it suitable for mobile input scenarios such as email, chat, and notes. It offers 5 writing tones—Casual, Professional, Neutral, Friendly, and Formal—and can automatically adjust the style based on the app being used. For translation, it supports 40+ languages, including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and more. Smart features also include voice-command editing, silence detection, a personal dictionary, and streaming output.

Pricing and Privacy

Pricing is straightforward: the free plan includes 10 minutes of audio per day, with all transcription features, 5 tones, and translation in 40+ languages. Pro costs $5/month, increases the limit to 120 minutes per day, and adds priority processing, advanced rewriting, and custom tones. Privacy is a key selling point: GhostWriter claims that audio is processed in real time and immediately discarded, with no storage or logging; data is transmitted via TLS. It also supports downloading Whisper and LLaMA models for local processing and offline use. Users can also bring their own OpenAI API Key.

Pros and Cons

The main advantages are a complete system-level mobile input experience that is not limited to a single app; a clear workflow from transcription to rewriting to translation; a free allowance that should be enough for light users; and relatively rich privacy options. Limitations include the fact that the main site currently only shows Android and Google Play, with no visible iOS or desktop version; the Pro plan’s 120 minutes per day may not be enough for heavy meeting users; and there is no disclosed detail on cloud models, payment methods, customer support, or enterprise compliance. Chinese support is only clearly listed under translation, so Chinese speech recognition and Chinese rewriting quality still need hands-on testing.

Who It’s For and Access from China

GhostWriter is suitable for mobile office users, people who often dictate emails or messages, creators who need multilingual output, and anyone who wants to reduce typing on a phone. The site does not provide information on access from China, and downloads depend on Google Play, so users in mainland China may need to consider app availability, network access, and payment usability. Alternatives include iFlytek Input, Sogou Input voice typing, Gboard, Notta, Otter.ai, or local Whisper tools.
