Turn voice memos into text you can search

Say the idea before it goes. RecVault records in one tap, turns it into text and names it for you, so you can find it again by typing a word.

The RecVault recordings list grouped by day, with the record button in the corner.

Faster than typing

Most people speak about three times faster than they type on a phone. A voice memo captures a to-do list, a draft message or an idea for a project in the time it takes to unlock the keyboard. Tap the mic, or the home-screen widget, and you are recording.

Memos that don't disappear into a list

The trouble with voice memos is finding them again. A list of recordings named by date tells you nothing about what is inside. Transcribe a memo and RecVault uses the transcript to give it a meaningful title, and makes every word searchable. Type "invoice" or "birthday" and the memo is there.

Text you can use

A transcript is a starting point. Copy it into an email, a document or a task app. Add typed notes beside the audio. Pin the memos you are still working on and file the rest by category.

How to turn a voice memo into text

  1. Tap the mic

    Recording starts at once. Speak naturally and hold the phone as you would for a call.

  2. Stop and save

    The memo is saved to your library on the phone.

  3. Tap Transcribe

    The text is ready in about a minute, with a timestamp on each line.

  4. Copy, share or search

    Send the text wherever you need it, or leave it and search for it when it matters.

Good to know

  • Add the RecVault widget to your home screen to record without opening the app.
  • Recording, playback and search work offline. Only transcription needs a connection.
  • Already have audio files? Share them to RecVault from your file manager or another app.

Questions

How is this different from my phone's built-in recorder?

A built-in recorder stores audio files. RecVault also turns them into text and searches inside that text, so you find recordings by what was said in them.

How long does transcription take?

About a minute for a typical recording, depending on its length and your connection.

Is there a limit on how many memos I can record?

No. Recording is unlimited and free. Transcription is free with one short ad before each one after your first.
