Every idea you recorded, now searchable
Voice memos are the fastest way to capture a thought and the slowest way to retrieve one. A phone full of unlabelled recordings is effectively a write-only archive: you know the idea is in there somewhere, but finding it means listening to everything again.
TranscribeX converts those recordings into text you can search with Ctrl+F. iPhone Voice Memos save as .m4a, most Android recorders use MP3 or AAC, and messaging apps produce Opus — all of them upload here without conversion.
Once a memo is text it becomes usable: paste it into Notion or Apple Notes, turn a rambling five-minute idea into three bullet points, or keep a searchable record of a recorded conversation. Turn on speaker detection when someone else is in the recording and each voice is labelled separately.
