How to transcribe a voice memo, audio file or video on iPhone
Short answer
To transcribe a recording on iPhone, import the voice memo, audio file or video into VoiceFlow AI Speech to Text. It detects the language, labels each speaker and lets you copy or share the transcript. Recent iOS versions can also show a basic transcript inside Voice Memos for some languages.
Built in: transcripts in Voice Memos
On recent versions of iOS, Voice Memos can show a transcript for supported languages. It is handy for a quick note, but it does not label different speakers or work on videos.
