Troubleshooting
The voice memo will not load
Export the memo as M4A, MP3, or WAV. Some apps save files with unusual containers that browsers cannot decode.
The transcript has missing words
Try a clearer recording, reduce background noise, or speak closer to the microphone in future memos.
The memo is too long
Trim silence and split long recordings into shorter segments before transcribing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I transcribe iPhone voice memos?
Yes. Export the voice memo file and upload it if your browser can decode the audio.
Are voice memos uploaded to SuperTextHub?
No. The transcription runs locally in your browser, so the media file does not need to be sent to SuperTextHub.
