Questions
M4A transcription FAQ
Can VoxText transcribe iPhone voice memos?
Yes, exported Voice Memos commonly use M4A. Upload the exported file directly, provided it is 25 MB or smaller.
Will my edited text be downloaded?
Yes. The TXT download is created from the current editor contents, including any corrections you make.
Why might an M4A transcript be inaccurate?
Overlapping voices, distant microphones, wind and loud background noise can make speech harder to identify. A clear, close recording gives better results.
