The Notes app has introduced audiorecording and transcription capabilities starting with iOS and iPadOS 18.
With the recent advancements in the Notes application on both iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, users can now seamlessly incorporate audio recordings into their notes alongside optional transcriptions. Here’s a guide on how to utilize this feature efficiently.
Previously, integrating an audio file into notes was more complex; it required users to first record their audio via the Voice Memos app before transferring it over to Notes. This process often felt cumbersome in earlier versions of the operating system.
However, Apple’s enhancements in iOS 18 have streamlined this experience directly within the Notes application. While still somewhat tucked away, this direct functionality allows users simply to tap a few buttons to access it. Notably, for those using an iPhone 12 or later, there’s also an added benefit: automatic transcription of recorded content.
It is essential to highlight that the transcript feature currently supports various forms of English language including American, British, Australian, Irish, New Zealand English along with South African English.
This innovative capability stands as a significant asset for students, corporate professionals attending meetings or those involved in organizational tasks such as secretaries or project managers alike.
Having instant access to written documentation of meeting discussions or classroom lectures significantly boosts information retention—increasing comprehension while enabling important points to be succinctly summarized and categorized separately from supplementary information:
Moreover, possessing original recordings provides additional context that mere text cannot convey—much like enjoying audiobooks where listening enriches understanding through tone and emotion intertwined with spoken words.
While full accuracy isn’t guaranteed every time through transcription technology’s complexities involved; this feature will undoubtedly make your records much easier to manage as well as share among peers. Users can leverage Apple Intelligence features where available—for quick summary generation if needed.
