Export Voice Memos to Markdown

Each recording copied beside a note with its transcript.

What you get

  • Each recording’s audio copied beside a Markdown note with its date, duration and size
  • Its transcript under it in paragraphs of about 30 seconds, each with its time: the one Voice Memos made, or on macOS 27 one heard on your Mac in the language you choose
  • Each note says which transcript it is, in which language, and how sure the model was
  • An index of every recording, with a link to play it

Where the files go

alto-index/voice-memos/20260930 091500-6F3A1B2C.m4a
alto-index/voice-memos/20260930 091500-6F3A1B2C.md
alto-index/voice-memos/index.md

What you choose

  • Tick the recordings to export, under their Voice Memos folders
  • Transcribe In, in Options…: the language a transcript heard on your Mac is in

Left out

  • A transcript heard on your Mac is kept only when the model is sure enough of it
  • A recording you delete in Voice Memos leaves the export too

Free

Voice Memos is free, with its transcripts, with no limit.
