Why Transcapt

Made for Apple Voice Memos

iPhone and Mac record in M4A by default. Transcapt handles these files natively — no conversion required, no quality loss.

Efficient compression, full accuracy

M4A uses AAC compression that's smaller than WAV but nearly lossless in quality. Transcription accuracy is indistinguishable from uncompressed sources.

Meetings, interviews, and voice notes

Whether it's a quick voice memo or a 3-hour interview, Transcapt handles M4A files up to 2 GB with chunked uploads.

Export as subtitles or documents

Get your M4A transcript as TXT for notes, SRT for captions, DOCX for editing, or PDF for sharing. All formats included, no upgrades.

Pay-per-use pricing, no subscription

Pay only for the minutes you transcribe. Credits never expire.

Frequently asked questions

How do I transcribe iPhone Voice Memos?+

Share or export the Voice Memo from your iPhone — it saves as an M4A file. Upload that file to Transcapt and you'll get a transcript in minutes. No conversion needed.

What's the difference between M4A and MP3 for transcription?+

M4A uses AAC compression which generally produces better audio quality than MP3 at the same file size. For transcription accuracy, both work well on clean voice recordings.

Can I transcribe an M4A file with multiple speakers?+

Yes. Transcapt detects speaker turns in M4A recordings (when vocal characteristics are distinct) and labels them in the transcript.

Is there a length limit for M4A transcription?+

Transcapt handles M4A files up to 2 GB, which typically means several hours of audio. Longer recordings can be split and transcribed as separate files.

Does Transcapt keep my M4A files?+

Audio files are stored only long enough to complete the transcription and then deleted. Transcripts stay in your dashboard until you delete them. See our privacy policy for details.
