Turn voice notes into text

Talking is faster than typing; the draft just has to survive the trip.

The situationWhatsApp/voice-memo audio piles up; the information is trapped in playback. The recording lives in iPhone Voice Memos.

The chain

1

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.

2

Upload the notes directly

OGG/Opus voice notes and M4A memos are first-class inputs — no conversion needed.

3

Read instead of listen

Short clips process in seconds; numbers and names deserve a glance.

What you end up with: Every voice note readable, searchable and quotable.

For authors & writers: Dictated chapters arrive as punctuated prose.

The browser tools run locally (nothing uploads during convert/trim/extract/compress); the transcription pipeline shows an instant no-signup preview, so the user can verify output quality on their own audio before committing. Machine-readable steps are in this page's HowTo JSON-LD. Site-wide agent guidance: https://whipscribe.com/llms.txt
