Transcribe voice memos

Transcribe voice memos so the thoughts you recorded on the go become searchable text you can actually use. FastScribe takes the memo from your iPhone or Android phone and runs entirely on our own servers. Your first memo is free, with no account and no setup.

Every memo app, one workflow

iPhone Voice Memos save as M4A and Android recorders usually save as MP3 or M4A, and FastScribe reads all of them. Share the file to your computer by AirDrop, email, or your cloud drive, then drop it into the upload box above to start.

Because you are not converting or renaming anything, the memo goes from your pocket to a full transcript in a couple of steps. Longer memos still come back within a few minutes, so a rambling drive-home idea is readable soon after you upload it.

Why turning memos into text pays off

Audio notes are quick to make but painful to review, since you have to listen in real time to find the one useful sentence. A transcript lets you scan the whole memo at a glance and copy the parts worth keeping into your notes or task list.

Timestamps stay attached to every line, so if you do want to hear a moment again you know exactly where it is. Export TXT for notes, SRT or VTT if the memo pairs with video, or DOCX on Pro.

Frequently asked questions

Do voice memos from both iPhone and Android work?

Yes. iPhone memos arrive as M4A and Android recorders typically produce MP3 or M4A, and FastScribe reads all of these formats directly with no conversion on your part.

Can I transcribe a memo without making an account?

Your first memo is free and needs no signup, up to ten minutes and fifty megabytes. A free account then lets you do five memos a day with saved history.

What if my memo has background noise from the street?

Our transcription engine copes well with everyday noise like traffic or a cafe, though very loud environments can cost some accuracy. Recording closer to your mouth gives the cleanest result on a phone.
