Journal by talking when typing feels heavy

When voice journaling actually helps

• When typing feels heavy - ADHD, low energy, post-therapy decompression, or just a long day.
• When emotion lives in tone, pace, and pauses that the page would lose.
• When you want the fastest way to journal honestly on a phone.
• Late-night and bedtime entries you do not want to type out on a bright screen.

How voice journaling works in Nuju

1. Tap the mic and talk for a minute. Speak the way you actually think; no prompts, no formatting pressure.
2. Get an automatic transcript and an AI reflection from one of the four coach personas.
3. Spoken entries share the same mood, energy, and trend layer as written ones - so they feed weekly summaries too.

Frequently asked questions

What is voice journaling?

Voice journaling is journaling by speaking instead of typing. You record what you want to reflect on, the app transcribes it into a text entry, and you get a written record plus the original audio. It is faster than typing on a phone and captures the texture of how you actually talk to yourself.

Is voice journaling included for free in Nuju?

Voice journaling is part of Nuju's premium tier alongside AI memory, the relationship mood map, and 30-day trend charts. The free tier covers mood and energy check-ins plus written journaling so you can evaluate the reflection style before paying.

Where is my voice data stored?

Voice recordings are stored with signed media URLs and encrypted at rest. The audio is private to your account, is not sold, and is never used to train AI models.

Can I edit a voice transcript after it is created?

Yes. After Nuju transcribes your audio, the text becomes a normal journal entry you can edit, search, and add to. The original recording is kept alongside the entry.
