Voice Memo to Text

Get your iPhone or Android voice memos as text — ideas, meetings, interviews, notes to self — without installing another app.

How to transcribe a voice memo on iPhone

1. Open Voice Memos, tap the recording, tap ⋯ and choose Share → Save to Files (or AirDrop it to your Mac). 2. Open this page in Safari and tap the upload box above, then pick the .m4a from Files. 3. The transcript appears in a minute — copy it or download TXT.

Recent iPhones can also show a transcript inside Voice Memos, but only for some languages and it's hard to export — this gives you clean text you can paste anywhere, with timestamps.

On Android

Share the recording from your recorder app to Files or Drive, then upload the file here. M4A, MP3, AAC, OGG and WAV all work.

FAQ

Which format are iPhone voice memos?

M4A (AAC audio). Upload it as-is — no conversion needed.

Is it really free without signing up?

Yes. Without an account you can transcribe files up to 10 minutes, 3 files a day. A free account raises that to 60 minutes a day and 30-minute files; paid plans go up to 60-minute files.

Do you keep my recording or transcript?

No. Your file is converted in your browser and sent in short pieces for transcription; we don't store the audio or the text. Download your transcript before closing the page.
