Tapescript
Voice memos, turned into text
You don’t have to record in Tapescript. Share a voice memo you already have, from Voice Memos, Files or a messaging app, and it comes back as a transcript with a summary.
Free to start. Needs iOS 18 or later.
Tapescript is made for iPhone only (iOS 18 or later). Open this page on your iPhone to get it.
From Voice Memos in two taps
In Voice Memos, open the recording’s options and choose Share, then Tapescript, and it starts writing it down (if you use more than one language, it asks which one first). The same works from Files, Mail or any app that can share an audio or video file.
Long memos are fine: up to 3 hours with Pro. A free recording or file stops at 30 minutes and is still written down.

Ideas come back as a plan
A three-minute memo of podcast ideas, recorded on a walk, comes back as three episode ideas and the two things to do first. That’s the difference between a transcript and a note.
Podcast Episode Ideas
Three episode ideas for next season: a remote-work myths episode, an interview with a first-time founder, and listener questions about burnout.
Key points
- Episode on remote-work myths, with data.
- Interview a first-time founder about year one.
- A listener Q&A on burnout and boundaries.
Or record the next one here
Next time, record straight into Tapescript: one tap to start, and the note is written when you stop.
What you can send it
- Voice memos. From the Voice Memos app, with Share.
- Audio files. From Files, iCloud Drive, Mail or another app.
- Video files. Only the sound is sent; the picture stays on your phone.
