Frequently asked questions

How do I get Voice Memos off my iPhone?

In the Voice Memos app, tap Share → AirDrop (to a Mac) or save to Files, then upload the .m4a here from your browser.

Are AAC and M4A the same thing?

M4A is the container and AAC is the codec inside it. We accept both extensions, so either uploads fine.

Can it transcribe long dictations?

Yes — free accounts handle files up to 30 minutes, and paid plans go up to 3 hours per file.
