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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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

This video was amazing, simple and clear. I loved it! exactly what I needed. Do you have a video explaining how to take the memos and turn it into a transcribe? Which app do you recommend? Thank you! I've subscribed ;-)

I use voice memo for texting when I’m multitasking and I think it’s great. A lot of us don’t even know the app exists lol 🤷🏾‍♂️

[AlyMikos]

Thank you for these tips. I knew these apps existed, but didn’t have a clear understanding of how to put them into beneficial use for my purposes.

[josephcox]

🐬, yep I knew all the features. I’d love to see a video on Reminders, but not only the basic features, but the integration with other apps and capabilities like Calendar, Maps, Notes and Siri, etc. Also, a video on using Shortcuts to produce a CVS file to use with numbers maybe even showing how to pull data from your Health Data.

I use it to record church sermons/lectures.

The voice memo app has come so far! I used it when I first got my iPhone 4 and it did ok with the mic but it low quality and lacking. Much better now. Hopefully they will continue to improve it.

[letiziasparks]

I may have missed it being discussed in this video, but Voice Memo function would be so more valuable if you could link a voice memo to set a date, activity/event/task to the calendar, reminder and or notes app. That would be awesome. Can it do that? Informative video thank you and I wish everyone well!🐬

[uwekonnigsstaddt]

Great video. Quick question: is there anyway to create transcripts from the voice memos? Thanks again!!!

[LitchfieldParkFamily]

Awesome info. I use voice memos a lot for songwriting 💯🎸

[frankvet]

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?

[billmarsh]

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!

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.
