Convert Voice Notes to Text

    Use this page for general voice notes: iPhone Voice Memos, Android Recorder files, spoken reminders, quick ideas, and short personal recordings. WhatsApp has its own page because the export workflow is more specific.

    How to Turn a Voice Note Into Text

    1

    Save or Export the Audio

    Use Share, Save to Files, Downloads, or your recorder app's export option to keep the voice note as an audio file on your device.

    2

    Choose It in TalkToTextly

    Open TalkToTextly in your browser and select the saved M4A, MP3, WAV, OGG, OPUS, AAC, or 3GP file.

    3

    Copy or Export the Transcript

    Review the text, then copy it or download TXT, SRT, VTT, or DOCX for notes, captions, records, or follow-up messages.

    Voice Note Sources This Page Covers

    • iPhone Voice Memos saved from the Share menu as M4A files

    • Messaging-app audio after you manually save or share the file

    Where Your Voice Note Might Come From

    The exact export button depends on the app, but the safe workflow is the same: save the audio file first, then choose that file in TalkToTextly.

    iPhone Voice Memos

    Open Voice Memos, tap the recording, use Share, and choose Save to Files before selecting the M4A file here.

    Android Recorder apps

    Open Recorder, Samsung Voice Recorder, Pixel Recorder, or Files, then share or locate the saved audio file.

    WhatsApp voice messages

    Save or share the voice message audio manually. TalkToTextly only transcribes the file you choose; it does not open WhatsApp.

    Personal notes and reminders

    Use the transcript to search ideas, clean up spoken drafts, summarize reminders, or paste text into your notes app.

    What You Can Do With the Transcript

    Once the voice note is text, it is easier to search, edit, quote, translate, summarize, or file with the rest of your notes.

    Make spoken notes searchable

    Find names, dates, tasks, and decisions without replaying the audio.

    Turn long audio into readable text

    Paste the transcript into Notes, Docs, email, Messages, Slack, or your task manager.

    Download useful formats

    Export plain text, subtitles, captions, or a Word-compatible document from the same browser session.

    Keep the workflow file-based

    You control which file is selected. There is no direct account integration or message inbox access.
