How to convert a voice recording to text

Rather talk than type? Record a voice note in PhoneMe and the app turns it into text by itself. Speech recognition runs on your phone – the recording is never uploaded.

Step by step

All you need is an Android phone and the free PhoneMe app.

  1. 1Install PhoneMe from Google Play and open the Organizer, Notes tab.
  2. 2Tap the microphone and speak. You can also hold it – recording stops when you let go.
  3. 3Finish recording. The voice note appears in the list.
  4. 4PhoneMe turns the recording into text in the background – you can do something else meanwhile.
  5. 5When the text is ready, tap the TRANSCRIPT label next to the note.
  6. 6You’ll see the whole text. The speaker icon in the corner reads it aloud.

Tip

It works best when you record close to the phone in a quiet place. Transcription doesn’t need internet.
