To create a new voice recording, tap the plus button in the note list or the three dots above your keyboard. Recordings are stored as real audio attachments, so they stay connected to your content rather than living in a separate app or workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After saving a recording, you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>play it back later<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>give it a custom title<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>share the audio file<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>transcribe it on supported devices<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>generate summaries from the transcript<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>insert the transcript or summary back into your note<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"531\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.snipnotes.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/voice-recordings-2_en-531x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6683 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snipnotes.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/voice-recordings-2_en-531x1024.png 531w, https:\/\/www.snipnotes.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/voice-recordings-2_en-233x450.png 233w, https:\/\/www.snipnotes.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/voice-recordings-2_en-796x1536.png 796w, https:\/\/www.snipnotes.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/voice-recordings-2_en-1062x2048.png 1062w, https:\/\/www.snipnotes.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/voice-recordings-2_en-scaled.png 1327w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 531px) 100vw, 531px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 531px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 531\/1024;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turn Recordings Into Useful Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Recording audio is only one part of the feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On supported devices, SnipNotes can transcribe your recording and help you turn it into useful text. You can review the transcript, copy it, share it, or add it back into the note. SnipNotes can also generate summaries, including formats like key points or action items, so your recordings become easier to scan and reuse later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes Voice Recordings especially useful for quick idea capture, personal reflections, meeting notes, and other situations where audio comes first and structure comes later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"531\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.snipnotes.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/voice-recordings-3_en-531x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6684 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snipnotes.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/voice-recordings-3_en-531x1024.png 531w, https:\/\/www.snipnotes.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/voice-recordings-3_en-233x450.png 233w, https:\/\/www.snipnotes.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/voice-recordings-3_en-796x1536.png 796w, https:\/\/www.snipnotes.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/voice-recordings-3_en-1062x2048.png 1062w, https:\/\/www.snipnotes.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/voice-recordings-3_en-scaled.png 1327w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 531px) 100vw, 531px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 531px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 531\/1024;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Voice Recordings and Dictation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SnipNotes still supports classic dictation for quickly turning speech into text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Voice Recordings are the more flexible option and the new default for this kind of workflow. They preserve the original audio, let you play it back later, and, on supported systems, allow you to generate transcripts and summaries when you need them. That means users on older OS versions \u2014 or users who prefer a simpler workflow \u2014 can still continue using dictation, while Voice Recordings offer a more complete experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Availability and Privacy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Voice Recordings are available on iPhone and iPad. At the time of publishing, the Mac version is still awaiting Apple&#8217;s approval and should be available shortly on the Mac App Store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Transcription<\/strong> is available on <strong>iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26 or later<\/strong>. Summaries can use your device&#8217;s AI model if available (iPhone 15 Pro or later). For older devices and longer transcripts, a cloud-based summary option is also available. SnipNotes will always ask for your permission before sending any information to a cloud provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your recordings are saved alongside your notes and \u2013 if enabled \u2013 synced through your personal iCloud account, just like all other SnipNotes content. SnipNotes keeps your notes private, makes them available across all your Apple devices, and ensures they integrate seamlessly into your workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pricing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Voice Recordings are available as a <strong>one-time upgrade for $4.99<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you purchased <strong>SnipNotes Plus on or after March 1, 2026<\/strong>, Voice Recordings are already included. Existing <strong>SnipNotes Plus subscribers<\/strong> also get automatic access to this feature \u2014 as well as upcoming features included with the subscription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for supporting SnipNotes. I hope Voice Recordings help you capture more of your thoughts \u2014 especially in those moments when typing would get in the way. If you try the feature, I\u2019d love to hear what you think.
