How to use this tool

A straightforward path from recording to transcript.

Upload an M4A voice memo from a phone, interview app, or recorder and turn the spoken content into editable text without an MP3 conversion step. Voysum keeps the original upload workflow separate from the editable result, so you can follow progress and return to recent jobs from the same browser.

  1. 1

    Export or locate the M4A file

    Save the voice memo to Files or locate the M4A recording created by your phone, meeting app, or audio recorder.

  2. 2

    Upload M4A directly

    Choose the original M4A file—renaming it or converting it to MP3 is unnecessary—and select the spoken language when known.

  3. 3

    Correct and reuse the text

    Review names and punctuation, then copy the transcript or export TXT, SRT, VTT, or CSV for the next step.

Example output

Common questions

M4A transcription FAQ

Practical details about uploading, processing, and exporting your files.

Can I transcribe an iPhone M4A recording?

Yes. M4A is supported, including common voice memo recordings up to 100 MB.

Do I need to convert M4A to MP3 first?

No. Upload the M4A file directly to Voysum.

What can I download after transcription?

You can download editable text as TXT and timed content as SRT, VTT, or CSV.

Is M4A the same as MP3?

No. Both can store compressed audio, but M4A commonly contains AAC audio. Voysum accepts M4A directly, so changing the extension is not required.
