Everything You Can Do With Voice Memos | More Powerful Than You Think

[@Glamgirl19k]

But the silence skip doesn't work when we download the file and try to upload it in any other app to use it.

[@Byrnzi360]

When I was a kid, I used to love my tape recorder. Now that I have one built into my phone, it’s a feature I almost never use.

[@Zezenvo]

It’s because you have been distracted visually. As a kid you were interested in many things.

[@Byrnzi360]

@@Zezenvo I think you might be on to something.

[@lovebags5139]

I think people would use it more if there was a live transcription feature like Google voice memos. Apple might have to GREATLY and I mean GREATLY improve voice recognition.

[@bestonehere2059]

I don’t know how good live transcripts it didn’t seem to be at the top notch of its game when I was using it on iOS 17, then again, the person was talking to was cutting out and not speaking very clear, but the text to speech recognition on the keyboard been using a lot and it’s been working really well. I actually type this whole message.

[@rob1972-b5d]

Definitely

[@MsOmgnowai2]

dictation has actually already gotten way way better - we might actually be there if they add it to voice memos

[@Bratishton]

Hi

[@oljobo]

And this is now a fact with iOS18 😃. I installed iOS 18 public beta 6 the other day, and I was delighted to find built-in transcribing. Quick as f. Quite good also. NB so far device language need to be English for this to work

[@LeahSithole-do5pk]

Why can’t l share the edited version of the recording? When l share it defaults back to original

[@frankvet1]

Thanks for the comments on this app. After six months I’m still trying to figure out if I prefer this over the Just Press Record app. Any thoughts?

[@razorsharp9850]

I have used this app for years. Two very big things missing from this with Apple is: not being able to start this with your AirPods on a locked device. You can press the button on your AirPod for Siri to start and tell her to use the app, but then you need to unlock your phone first. That’s a massive shortcoming when you drive and want to stay eyes on the road. Second is that you can’t easily take any recording and instead of sending or copying it, have it transferred to text. That way it would be super easy to get from spoken word to text using the one same app. I would pay for those features when integrated like that.

[@therealrobinwilliams_affiliate]

I don't know if this came with the recent updates, but I see transcript with this now.

[@Marngel]

I use the voice memos apps to record my commentary when making videos. Could I use more powerful audio apps to record my voice for my videos? Yeah I could. But they're also a lot more complicated to use, and the voice memos apps gets the job done very easily which is really convenient for me

[@GameGodGaming-GGs]

Is there a way to keep the playback speed that you saved it as in voice memos, when you share it to IMovie? Mine keeps going back to original speed, but I want to speed it up without the pitch changing.

[@AllenRowell]

Also, the Voice Memos app is available on iMac and MacBook. I was airdropping recordings to my computer then drag-and-drop the file into my video project. But I can just open Voice Memos on my computer, edit if needed, and drag-and-drop directly into my video project.

[@zaneclone]

Hi- you don't mention how the "enhance recording" works. What does it actually do ? There only seems to be "on/off"

[@DaveCaptainMusic]

Thanks for the video I know everything you showed but the app mustn’t have the ability to FADE AUDIO OUT at end of a song I recorded. Question; is there no audio fade capabilities?

[@jennifercarretti5993]

Thank you for this very informative video. If I have enabled skip silence, and I share the memo with someone will it be shared with Skip silence?

[@oa7106-t3l]

I did voice memos airdrop from my iPhone 7 to iPhone 12. Now all the registrations have the same date like today's date. How do I change the dates to the original's date recording? Thanks for your help :)

[@laurieoliver3218]

Is there a way to splice two Apple voice memos together?

[@Mr22845]

My recording stops by itself at different time . What kind of settings I should check on phone.?

[@java22abc]

Trimming ends is fine speeding up silence is fine, but can you cut in the middle of recording silent portions completely I don’t think you can

[@aravinddnivara803]

That is an amazing discovery for myself. voice memo so powerful and how we ignore these kind of features. Thanks for this video. Appreciate it

[@susiecho2092]

I found this app very useful when I have to make quick notes while I’m having conversations or driving. Thank you so much for the great instructions!

[@drie4617]

I have the same, but I need to find a way to transcribe those recordings in writing as I go ( or later) but I need them in written words..any ideas? .

[@qigongwithsal]

Is there a way I can email a recording to clients . My phone has my personal gmail and I want to use my professional account .. ?

[@AFutureLegend]

Does it allow voice transcription?

[@marylandnagorski5461]

this is April 2024. They’ve now added Irecord and Imerge. both of these are incredible assets and yes, I knew most of what you talked about but I hadn’t known anything about the editing

[@davidkengere5635]

That voice memo is pretty powerful!! Sit on your bed put your iPhone on the pillow and the guitar on your lap,play and sing play back the recording.!

[@maryabouissa]

Can you loop audios on it?

Multi channel recording? Bluetooth mic and iphone mic at same time?

[@HilaryHoran]

What microphone to do use?

[@billmarsh2639]

Outstanding video, so apologies if my question was already covered and I just didn’t grasp it. Is there a way to cut a section out of the middle of an audio recording and have the two sections on either side then come together to create a new, shortened video? Similar to video editing where you can take a video clip, cutting out of middle portion and joining the two remaining sections together to create a new clip. AKA, a ‘ripple delete’. I thought that’s where you might go next after you showed how to record/replace over a previously recorded section. Thanks!

[@kedavis]

Highlight what you want removed and then "Delete"

[@chrystalamos8273]

I use it to record church sermons/lectures.

[@williamday5129]

Is there a function that will allow you to repeat? I’ve looked and cannot find it. Curious if it’s hidden

[@street55789]

I was hoping you might address if there was a way to import a prerecorded MP3 into the voice memos. Like say I have a clip of my niece singing and I'd like to somehow load it into voice memos to keep it handy there to listen to. Is that a possibility? Or would maybe notes be better for this? I want to keep it separate from my iphone video/photos app, and I don't want to keep it on a webpage or in an email.

[@Tonito_music]

Its possible you can share and save it to voice memos. If you want to organize audios in folders, its better using apples files app. I use both of those apps together which really do a lot.

[@dianebrown5914]

You would have to use Mp3 Converter, As Voice Memos works with M4a files.

[@gtcih]

Good video. But I was hoping to learn how to use my recording as a ringtone. Any suggestions?

[@Pretty.Slay.Princess]

Could you keep the regular recording and go over it with your voice

[@d-t-f.]

use the voice memo app every day too due to the enhanced audio. didn’t know the functions you mentioned were available. thanks for the heads up man.

I use the voice memo a lot. Is there any way to clear some space and save all the memos to cloud permanently?

[@72daystar]

Is there no way to skip to the end of a lengthy recording when editing? I often record an hour at a time and it takes forever to swipe through to the end.

[@danielw0007]

on your iPhone can it handle memory storage to record long audio books

[@techguy943]

I understand some video editors who make these videos for 9to5mac AppleInsider MacRumors etc use Final Cut Pro Adobe Premier or Da Vinci Resolve BUT “AVERAGE” users SHOULD get SOME iMovie related videos I noticed that in my Files app on my iPhone and iPad DOES NOT DISPLAY VIDEO FILES IN FOLDERS WITH the iMovie icon on the folder and when I try to SAVE an iMovie file to iCloud Drive the file DOES NOT EXACTLY MOVE BETWEEN DEVICES

[@madelinehall8944]

I recorded 20 minutes in 3 minutes increments. I ended up with 5 recordings of my last 3 minutes. Where are the audio files saved?

I use voice memo daily too. BUT is their NOT A VOICE ISOLATION FEATURE... ALL WE GET IS FUN NOISE?? Or wind. Apple can do better! Can it be done? Enhance, after is not good enough.

[@carolynbeaugrand6789]

Fernando, Thanks for doing this video. I am trying to record a song that I'm playing on my piano. I do know how to trim from the beginning and at the end. However, I once tried to delete in the middle and it deleted all of the beginning. Is it possible to delete part in the middle but keep the beginning and ending. Unfortunately, that time I lost some of a recording of what my mom was saying. She just recently passed away so it was a horrible mistake. I don't think there is a way to get it back. It seems like I could have retrieved it if I had deleted all of it. Any thoughts on that? Now I know to save an extra copy of my recording before editing an important file. Thank you again. Carolyn

Creo que Apple con IOS 17 a cometido un fallo (o incongruencia) con esta app "Notas de Voz" al no incorporarle nuevas funciones.

How did you get the top of your playing recording to show the Date and Start Time of the recording rather than the total play time count I’m suddenly seeing? I saw the date and time just a day or two somehow, somewhere! Going into Exit Recording didn’t help, though maybe I didn’t do exactly the right combo of steps such as maybe it needing to be Playing to see the start date and time at the top of the display. Crazy-making!
