Why speak instead of type?
Your voice captures nuance and emotion that typing can't match
3x faster than typing
Speaking is naturally faster than typing. Capture more thoughts in less time, keeping up with your stream of consciousness.
More authentic expression
Your voice carries emotion and tone. Spoken journaling feels more natural and less filtered than writing.
Lower barrier to entry
Staring at a blank page is intimidating. Speaking feels effortless - just press record and start talking.

What happens to your recording
It depends on how you record. Here is exactly what that means.
When the audio is kept
A voice note saved as a recording keeps the audio itself, not only the transcript, indefinitely. It is how we check the quality of what Dayora heard. When your speech is only turned into text for you to edit before saving, the recording is not kept.
Who can reach it
You. Our own team, for that quality check. OpenAI, which does the transcribing. Never anyone else, and never for sale.
How it goes away
Deleting your account deletes any recordings with it. Deleting a single entry removes the entry, not the recording behind it.
Connections to Dayora use HTTPS. The full detail lives in our privacy policy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about voice journaling
How accurate is the voice transcription?
Our advanced speech recognition technology provides highly accurate transcription, even with natural speech patterns, pauses, and background noise. You can always edit the transcription after speaking if needed.
Do I need an internet connection for voice journaling?
Yes. Your recording uploads to Dayora to be turned into text, so there is no offline mode today.
Is my voice data stored permanently?
It depends on how you record. When a voice note is saved as a recording, we keep the audio itself, not only the transcript, and we keep it indefinitely: it is how our team checks the quality of what Dayora heard. When your speech is only turned into text for you to edit before saving, the recording is not kept. Either way your recording goes to OpenAI to be transcribed, beyond that it is never sold, and deleting your account deletes any recording we hold.
How does voice journaling work with AI insights?
Voice entries receive the same AI analysis as written entries. The AI analyzes the transcribed text for patterns, emotions, and insights, providing personalized guidance based on your spoken thoughts.
