Turn a Voice Memo into a Summary and Transcript
A voice memo summarizer takes a recording and gives back the key points, the action items, and a full transcript, instead of you replaying it to find what mattered. Upload a memo you already have, or record one directly in the ScreenApp mobile app or browser.
If your memo is on your phone (Apple Voice Memos, Android’s recorder, or any other app), export or share it as a file, then upload it here. There is no Apple Voice Memos integration or auto-sync; the file has to be uploaded like any other recording.
What you get back:
- The key points and action items, with speaker labels when more than one person is on the recording
- The full transcript, searchable, in 100+ languages
- Export to PDF, Word, or plain text
- Free plan: 2 transcriptions of recordings up to 45 minutes each, with AI chat on it
How to Summarize a Voice Memo
- Add the memo: Upload a file you already have, or open ScreenApp on your phone or in the browser and record a new one.
- Let it process: The recording is transcribed, then the AI pulls out the key points and any action items.
- Read or export: Skim the summary, search the transcript, or export the result as PDF, Word, or text.
Accuracy depends on the recording. A memo spoken close to the phone in a quiet room transcribes well; one recorded in a noisy car or with a weak mic will have gaps. See how we measure accuracy.

Who Uses a Voice Memo Summarizer
Business professionals record a memo walking out of a call and get the follow-ups back as a list instead of retyping them from memory.
Students record a thought between classes and turn it into notes they can search later, alongside the lecture recorder for full classes.
Journalists record a quick interview or a source call and pull quotes straight from the transcript.
Sales teams record notes right after a prospect call and get the key points and next steps without writing them up by hand.
Doctors and healthcare workers record a memo between patients and get a structured summary of what needs to go in the chart.
Content creators record an idea on the go and come back to a transcript and summary instead of a voice file they never replay.
