What makes voice memo recordings hard
Voice memos are recorded in exactly the conditions that hurt accuracy most: walking, driving, standing in a street. They are also usually unstructured — half-formed sentences and trailing thoughts that are harder to punctuate than prepared speech.
A workflow that holds up
Upload the M4A or OGG straight from your phone without converting it.
Transcribe in batches at the end of the day rather than one memo at a time.
Treat the transcript as raw material to edit, not as a finished note.
Join related memos into one file when they belong to the same train of thought.
Things worth knowing first
- → Speaking a few words of context at the start gives you a searchable header later.
- → Road noise while driving is the single biggest accuracy cost — a moment stopped is worth more than any setting.
- → Voice notes are short, so they fit comfortably inside even the guest limit.
What you get back
Every job returns both versions. Take whichever fits the job.
