Start Creating Notes With Your Voice
With iOS 18, Apple introduced a new feature to the Notes app. Now, you don’t have to write your notes; you can use your voice instead.
There’s a new record audio feature that lets you record all your thoughts. And if that wasn’t enough, your iPhone will automatically transcribe everything it hears so you can read it or find the portion of the note you’re looking for. Plus, if you have an iPhone 15 Pro or later model that supports Apple Intelligence, you can even get a summary of your transcript to highlight the most important points.
Here’s how to start transcribing your voice:
- Open the Notes app.
- Tap on the New Note button in the bottom right corner of your screen.
- Tap the paper clip icon above your keyboard.
- Select Record Audio.
- Tap the Recording button and start talking.
- You can pause your note and tap on Resume to continue, or you can select Done to finish the recording.
When you’re done, you’ll see that the Notes app has already transcribed everything you said in your recording. You can tap on it to see the complete transcript, and if you tap on a word, the Notes app will start playing the recording from that part.
It’s a fantastic feature that you need to try if you already have iOS 18 on your iPhone.
