An audio summarizer.
For the points worth keeping.
Turn a recording into a useful written summary on iPhone or Android. Choose the shape of the notes before processing, then check the details against the audio.

THE SHORT ANSWER
Get the gist, or keep every word?
An audio summarizer condenses spoken content into written notes. In Voice Note Transcriber, import a recording or record directly, choose Summarize, and select a summary style. The result is a summary, rather than a word-for-word transcript. It is an iOS and Android workflow; this website does not provide a browser upload converter.
Use a summary to revisit a discussion, organize your own spoken ideas, or identify follow-up work. If you need exact wording, choose Transcribe instead. For a full-text workflow, see the audio file transcription guide. A summary is useful for orientation, but it is not a substitute for checking the original before quoting someone.

How to summarize an audio recording
1. Bring in the recording
Select an audio file inside the app, share an accessible recording from another app, or use the built-in recorder. Supported audio extensions include M4A, MP3, WAV, AAC, OGG and OPUS. Use a file you have permission to process. Several files can be selected through the in-app picker; batch processing applies the same chosen action to the files.
2. Choose the result you need
Choose Summarize and a summary mode before sending the file. Pick Short for an overview, Detailed for more context, Bullet points for a list, Action items for follow-ups, or Dates/deadlines for time-related details. These are the English labels in the app. Choose Summarize + Translate when you want the summary in an available target language.
3. Review, then organize
Read the result with the recording nearby. Check names, amounts, dates, negations and who agreed to do what. Save the result in a collection with a useful folder or tag, so it can be found later through search. A clear title describing the subject is more useful than relying on an automatically generated filename.

Match the summary style to the task
Choose a format based on what you will do next. A shorter result is easier to scan, but it may leave out qualifications that matter. No format can recover information that was never clearly spoken.
- Short: decide whether a recording is relevant before returning to the detail.
- Detailed: retain more of the context around a discussion or an explanation.
- Bullet points: create an outline of ideas that you can check and reorder yourself.
- Action items: look for follow-ups, then verify the owner and whether the task was actually agreed.
- Dates/deadlines: collect time references, then resolve ambiguous phrases such as “next Friday” yourself.

A transcript, a summary and a translation do different jobs
Each processing job returns one selected output. Choosing Summarize does not also produce a separate full transcript. If you need both, process the source with the appropriate actions separately; usage and plan limits still apply.
Summarize + Translate produces a translated summary, not a complete translated transcript. Available target languages are shown in the app. For language selection and output differences, read the voice message translation guide.

Check the result before it becomes your plan
A recording can contain a suggestion, a rejected idea and a final decision about the same subject. Read the summary carefully enough to distinguish them. Overlapping voices, background noise and unclear speech can affect the result.
- Compare any quoted wording with the audio or a reviewed transcript.
- Check numbers and deadlines in their surrounding context, including corrections later in the recording.
- Keep only information you are entitled to save or share; processing requires an internet connection.
- For a conversation that needs speaker-by-speaker review, start with the interview transcription workflow.
QUESTIONS
Audio summary questions
Can I summarize a voice memo?
Yes. Import an accessible recording and choose Summarize. For getting the source out of Apple’s recorder, follow the Voice Memo guide. The summary workflow begins once the audio is in the app.
Can I get a summary and the complete transcript together?
One job returns one selected output. Process the recording separately with Transcribe if you also need the complete text. Check your current plan and usage allowance in the app.
Is this an online audio summarizer in my browser?
No. Download the iOS or Android app to import or record audio. Processing uses an internet connection. If you need a desktop browser upload workflow, choose a service that explicitly provides one.
Can I trust extracted tasks and deadlines without checking?
Review them against the recording. Summaries can omit context or misinterpret uncertain speech. Verify dates, responsible people and whether a suggestion became an agreed task before acting on it.
