With Apple’s Voice Memos, you can use iPhone as a portable recording device to record personal notes, classroom lectures, musical ideas, and more. You can fine-tune your recordings with editing tools like trim, replace, and resume.
Marko Zivkovic for AppleInsider:
Apple later this year hopes to make real-time audio transcription and summarization available system-wide on many of its devices, as the iPhone maker looks to harness the power of AI in delivering efficiency boosts to several of its core applications, AppleInsider has learned.
People familiar with the matter have told us that Apple has been working on AI-powered summarization and greatly enhanced audio transcription for several of its next-gen operating systems. The new features are expected to enable significant improvements in efficiency for users of its staple Notes, Voice Memos, and other apps.
Apple is currently testing the capabilities as feature additions to several app updates scheduled to arrive with the release of iOS 18 later in 2024. They’re also expected to make their way to the corresponding apps in macOS 15 and iPadOS 18 as well.

This is great — what do people currently use (app or program) for transcribing and clipping/sharing pre-recorded Apple voice memos? Preferably in large numbers (and either on mobile or desktop). Any help would be much appreciated!
I was using accessibility features to have my iPhone read a Pages document back to me. Why in 2024 can’t I ask Siri to read note “To-Do List” back to me?! I’ll bet this STILL won’t be possible even with Siri-GPT.
