Why use Cutlia for this
Voice memos
iPhone's Voice Memos app records M4A: lectures, meetings and ideas become searchable text.
Right on the phone
It runs in the browser, so you can transcribe without installing an app or sending the file anywhere.
Fix what was misheard
Edit any paragraph and the rest keeps its timing; undo if you change your mind.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a voice memo off my iPhone?
In Voice Memos, tap the recording, then ⋯ → Share → Save to Files (or AirDrop it to your Mac). Or simply open this page in Safari on the iPhone and pick the memo from Files.
Can it tell who is speaking in a recorded meeting?
Yes — click “Identify speakers” once the transcript is ready. Each paragraph is labelled with its speaker, and you can rename or merge speakers.
Is my recording uploaded?
No. The M4A is read and transcribed by your browser on your device — nothing is sent to a server.
Is it really free?
Yes. Cutlia is free to use with no account, no trial and no watermark on your export. The site is paid for by the ads on it, and your files never leave your device.
