Voice Memo to Text FAQ

Common questions about transcribing phone voice recordings.

Can I transcribe voice memos from my phone?

Yes. Export the memo from the Voice Memos app or any recorder, upload the audio file, and get a transcript in minutes.

Which formats do voice memos use?

iPhone memos use M4A and Android recorders often use AAC-style files. FastScribe supports common audio formats including M4A, MP3, and WAV.

How accurate is voice memo transcription?

Accuracy is high for clear speech, and everyday recordings with light background noise still transcribe well. You can always edit the final text.

Can I transcribe long voice notes?

Yes. Length is limited by your available credits, so both quick notes and long-form recordings work.

Is my voice memo kept private?

Your uploads and transcripts stay in your account, and you can delete them at any time.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Transcription runs in your browser; you only need the audio file.
