Getting the memo off your phone
iPhone: open Voice Memos, tap the recording, hit the share icon, and choose Save to Files, AirDrop or email. iPhone memos are M4A files, which upload here directly with no conversion.
Android: open your recorder app (Google Recorder, Samsung Voice Recorder…), use Share or Export, and send the file to Drive or your downloads. M4A, MP3, AAC and WAV all work.
Or skip the memo app entirely — switch to the record option above and capture your voice note straight in the browser; it's transcribed the moment you stop recording.
Voice memos are where ideas, interviews and client notes get trapped. A transcript makes them searchable, quotable and shareable — and the AI can turn a rambling memo into tidy notes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I transcribe a voice memo?
Export the memo from your phone (share → Save to Files on iPhone, share/export on Android), upload it above, and the AI returns an editable transcript in minutes.
How do I get a voice memo off my iPhone?
In Voice Memos, tap the recording, press the share icon and pick Save to Files, AirDrop or Mail. The file is an M4A and uploads here without conversion.
Can I record a voice note directly instead of uploading?
Yes — choose the record option in the box above and speak; the note is transcribed as soon as you stop recording.
Does it work with Android voice recorders?
Yes. Files from Google Recorder, Samsung Voice Recorder and similar apps (M4A, MP3, AAC, WAV) all transcribe fine.
My memo has background noise — will it still work?
Usually yes. The speech model is robust to everyday noise like traffic or cafés; the clearer the voice, the closer to perfect the transcript.
Is voice memo transcription free?
There's a free daily allowance that comfortably covers typical memos. Long recordings and heavy use fall under the paid plan.
Can the AI tidy my memo into proper notes?
Yes — after transcribing you can generate a summary or structured notes from the memo, and ask the AI chat to pull out dates, names or to-dos.
