Capture every word, hands-free. IA Voice Notes transcribes your meetings, lectures, and conversations in real time with Apple's speech engine, on your device whenever your language supports it. Recording, transcription, the calendar, and AI features are all free to use. AI works right out of the box, with no key or account required. NOW ON IPHONE, IPAD, AND MAC Record the meeting on your iPhone and read the summary on your iPad or Mac. On iPad, a split view keeps your notes beside the one you're reading. Turn on iCloud Sync (Pro) and your notes, recordings, and events stay in step across your devices, stored in your own private iCloud. QUIZ YOURSELF, OUT LOUD Turn any lecture, meeting, or story into a spoken quiz. IA Voice Notes asks the questions, you answer by voice, and each answer is graded with feedback and a link to the moment in the recording that covers it. Quizzes adapt as you go, offer hints and practice rounds, and build on what you missed last time. Kid, Student, and Professional modes set the tone, and voice commands like "repeat", "hint", and "skip" keep it hands-free. TALK TO YOUR NOTES Ask a note anything, out loud, and hear the answer, with a link to the part of the recording it came from. Prefer typing? Ask follow-up questions in a thread, or even while you're still recording. A CALENDAR THAT STARTS RECORDING FOR YOU See your events laid out by day and time, with a live now-line, or as a simple list. Set one up and IA Voice Notes starts recording on its own when the time comes, using the mode you picked for it. Arm a recurring meeting once and it's covered every week. Works with Siri Shortcuts for full automation. TURN ANY MENTION INTO AN EVENT Scan a flyer, pick a photo, paste an invitation, or just mention a meeting while recording. The AI reads out the date, time, location, and who's coming, and drops it into a review tray for you to approve, linked back to the exact moment it came from. Your iOS Calendar can sit alongside it too, read-only, so you can arm any real meeting for recording in a tap. AI THAT WORKS WHILE YOU RECORD Pick one of 10 built-in recording modes (Meeting, 1:1, Interview, Lecture, Sales Call, Podcast, and more) or build your own, and the built-in AI detects action items, flags key terms, and surfaces what matters as you speak. A summary is ready the moment you stop. ATTACH AS YOU GO Snap a photo of a whiteboard, scan a document, sketch a diagram with Apple Pencil or your finger, or jot a quick text note, all attached to your recording at the exact moment they were captured. A TIMELINE OF EVERY MOMENT Watch your words appear as you speak. Afterwards, your transcript, photos, scans, sketches, and AI results sit in order on a timeline, with timestamps that jump to any moment in the recording. SEND, SHARE, AND EXPORT With Pro, send a whole note to anyone with IA Voice Notes: the transcript, recording, photos, sketches, and AI summary arrive as one file they open for free. Or export as Markdown or self-contained HTML, bundled with the audio, for Obsidian, Notion, or any editor that handles Markdown. PRIVACY FIRST Your recordings stay on your devices, and iCloud Sync, if you turn it on, keeps them in your own private iCloud. AI features send only the text they need, never your audio. Every install includes free AI calls to try; subscribe to AI Plan any time for a monthly allowance (or AI Plan Plus if you need more), or add your own Anthropic Claude / OpenAI API key and send requests straight to the provider you choose at your own cost. Requires iOS 17 or iPadOS 17, or a Mac with Apple silicon. Transcription quality depends on Apple's speech recognition for your language.
