How to Transcribe iPhone Voice Memos or Apple Notes Audio
Use this workflow when you want editing, translation, and export options beyond the built-in features.
Steps
- Voice Memos: Share → Save to Files → upload to Sondeas.
- Apple Notes audio: Long-press attachment → Share → save → upload.
- Choose language → Transcribe.
- Use Rewrite or Translate to clean up text.
- Export as TXT/DOCX or copy.
Tips
- Record near the mic to avoid low volume.
- For multi-speaker recordings, add speaker labels in edit mode.
- Use TTS to turn the edited text back into audio.
FAQ
- Can I do this on iPad?
- Yes. Open Sondeas in Safari or Chrome on iPad.
- Are long files supported?
- Yes. Upload full interviews, lectures, or brain dumps.
- Can I keep the original and edited versions?
- Yes. Duplicate or export versions at any time.
Troubleshooting
- Seeing “Waiting to Upload”? Toggle Wi-Fi off/on or use Files → Browse → iCloud Drive to ensure the memo finished syncing.
- If the share sheet only shows AirDrop, tap “More…” and enable Files to expose the Save to Files option.
- For Voice Notes created inside Apple Notes, long-press the waveform, choose “Share,” then “Save to Files” before visiting Sondeas.
