Transcribe your voice memos. From notes recorded on the go to clean, reusable text.
Ideas dictated in the car, reminders, article drafts, debriefs after a meeting: upload your voice memos from iPhone, Android or WhatsApp and Verlio turns them into tidy text. Often free, because every day you get 10 free minutes.
How it works — in 3 steps.
Export the voice memo from your phone: from Voice Memos on iPhone via "Share", from your Android recorder as an audio file, or from WhatsApp by forwarding the voice note to yourself and saving it.
Upload the file to Verlio — M4A, OPUS, MP3 or any other format — and choose between the plain transcript or the Structured Document with a summary and key points.
Download the text as Word or PDF, or copy it straight to wherever you need it: your notes, an email, the document you were working on.
Transcribing voice memos for free: how it really works.
Most voice memos are short, and on Verlio you get 10 free minutes every day — not just during a trial. In practice you can transcribe your everyday memos without spending anything. For longer recordings you have 30 minutes of free trial at signup, no credit card.
If you pile up long recordings — entire dictated chapters, half-hour debriefs — credits start at €5 and one credit covers 1 minute, so you pay only for what you use. No subscription: you pay when you need it, and credits never expire.
From messy speech to text you can actually use.
Voice memos are messy by nature: half-finished sentences, "um"s, repetitions, topic changes. Verlio's AI cleanup removes the filler and reassembles the sentences while preserving the meaning, so the text you download is already readable — not a stream of consciousness to rewrite.
If you dictate technical content — client names, medications, product codes, legal terms — you can attach a context document with the correct terminology: the AI uses it to spell the words that would otherwise come out mangled.
For long memos, the Structured Document adds a summary, key points and sections: useful when the voice note is really the draft of an article, a report or a set of minutes.
Which voice memo formats are supported?
All the ones phones produce: M4A (iPhone Voice Memos), OPUS and OGG (WhatsApp voice notes), MP3, AAC, WAV and the main video formats. Nothing to convert: upload the file exactly as it comes out of the app and Verlio takes it from there. And if you record in another language, you can have the document delivered directly in English: translation across 35+ languages is included.
Frequently asked questions.
How do I export a voice memo from my iPhone?
Open Voice Memos, select the recording, tap "Share" and save it to Files, AirDrop it or send it by email. You get an M4A file that you upload straight to Verlio.
Is transcribing voice memos really free?
Often, yes: every day you get 10 free minutes. For longer recordings you get 1 free trial hour at signup, then credits from €5 (1 credit = 1 minute), and they never expire.
Can I transcribe WhatsApp voice notes?
Yes. Save the voice note as a file (forward it to yourself or export the chat with media) and upload it: the OPUS format of WhatsApp voice notes is fully supported.
Does the transcript keep the "um"s and repetitions?
Only if you want it to. By default, AI cleanup removes filler words and false starts, producing smooth text; the meaning and the important words stay intact.
Do my voice memos stay private?
Yes: processing happens on servers in the European Union in compliance with the GDPR, files are not used to train models and you can delete them at any time.
