Fix a panel where one voice booms and another whispers

Talks, streams and office hours are content waiting to be text.

The situationMulti-speaker recordings rarely have even levels. The recording lives in iPhone Voice Memos.

The chain

Get the recording out of iPhone Voice Memos

Open the memo → share sheet → Save to Files / AirDrop / mail — the file is an M4A. Rename memos before exporting; 'New Recording 47' helps nobody later.

Normalize the file

Loudness normalization narrows the gap between voices.

Transcribe with speakers

Diarization labels who said what regardless of level.

What you end up with: Every panelist audible, every word attributed.
