To transcribe a voice memo to text, export the audio file from your phone and upload it to AskSia. Apple Voice Memos save as M4A, and most Android voice recorders save as MP3 or M4A. AskSia processes the audio with AI speech recognition and returns a timestamped transcript with up to 10 speakers labeled automatically, usually in seconds. The transcript can be translated into more than 40 languages and exported as TXT, DOCX, or SRT subtitles. The free plan covers voice memos up to 30 minutes, with no software to install and no credit card required.
Voice memos are usually unedited, sometimes whispered, often filled with technical terms or names. AskSia handles real recordings, not just clean studio audio.
Background noise, accents, mumbling, and quick speech are normal in a voice memo. AskSia stays usable thanks to context-aware processing for technical terms, names, and academic vocabulary, with 95% or higher accuracy on clear audio.
Apple Voice Memos (M4A), Pixel and Samsung voice recordings (MP3 and M4A), Otter exports, Whatsapp voice notes, and any standard audio format. One tool covers every recorder you might use.
Once a voice memo is transcribed, the AI assistant Sia can pull out action items, summarize the recording, or extract direct quotes. Useful for thoughts dictated on a walk, meeting recaps, or interview notes.
Record in any language and AskSia detects it automatically. Translate the memo into English, Mandarin, Spanish, or any of more than 40 supported languages, side by side with the original transcript.
On iPhone, open Voice Memos, tap the recording, and choose Share. On Android, share or save the file from your recorder. Or record a new memo directly inside the AskSia app.
Drag the M4A or MP3 file into the AskSia web app, or upload from your phone in the mobile app. AskSia detects the source language automatically and identifies up to 10 different speakers.
The transcript appears with timestamps and speaker labels. Ask Sia for a summary or a list of action items, then export as TXT, DOCX, SRT, or send to Google Docs.
Record on your phone, upload from your laptop, or use AskSia on both. The library syncs automatically.
Drag a folder of voice memos into the AskSia web app and process them one after another. The split-panel layout shows the transcript on one side and the AI chat on the other, useful for pulling action items or quotes after a long recording.
Open the AskSia app, hit record, and dictate your voice memo while the transcript builds in real time on your phone. Or upload an existing memo from your iPhone or Android library directly.
Capture a quick thought during a walk and AskSia turns it into structured text in seconds. Useful for writers, founders, students, and anyone who thinks faster than they can type.
Researchers, journalists, and ethnographers record observations in the field. AskSia transcribes the memos with timestamps, ready to be quoted, coded, or filed in NVivo, Atlas.ti, or any notes app.

Dictate post-visit notes, study summaries, or differential diagnoses into a voice memo and AskSia transcribes them with accurate handling of clinical vocabulary, drug names, and standard abbreviations.
Record yourself speaking in a target language and AskSia transcribes the memo so you can review your speech against the script. Translate it into your native language to spot the sections that came out wrong.
Capture client insights, case notes, and meeting takeaways as voice memos. AskSia transcribes them with speaker labels and timestamps, ready to be edited into a memo, brief, or report.
