Exporting a voice memo from your phone

iPhone Voice Memos

Export a memo from the Voice Memos app (Share → Save to Files, or AirDrop to a computer) as an M4A file, then drop it in here.

Android recorder apps

Most default Android recorders save as M4A, AAC, or AMR — all supported directly, no conversion step needed.

WhatsApp voice notes

Forward a voice note to yourself, save it from chat (⋮ → Save), and it exports as an OPUS or OGG file — also read directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Voice-memo-specific questions about converting to text

What file formats do voice memo apps actually produce?
iPhone Voice Memos exports M4A, most Android recorders use M4A, AAC, or AMR, and WhatsApp voice notes save as OPUS or OGG. All of these are supported directly — no conversion needed first.
How do I get the voice memo file out of the app?
On iPhone: open the memo, tap the ⋯ menu, then Share → Save to Files (or AirDrop it to a computer). On Android: open your recorder app's list and use its built-in share/export option. In WhatsApp: open the voice note, tap the menu, and choose Save.
Is there a limit on how many memos I can transcribe?
No. Transcribe one memo or a whole backlog — there's no cap on file count, and each file is processed independently.
Will it pick up on multiple speakers in a memo?
Yes, the speaker-labeling feature works on voice memos too — useful if you recorded a quick conversation rather than a solo note.
Is my voice memo uploaded to a server?
No. The memo is transcribed entirely on your device using a local AI model. The audio file itself never leaves your browser.
