All that may do is add an audio file that you may play again. In iOS 18 Notes, not solely are you able to file an audio file straight throughout the app, however you may get a full transcript of the recording as nicely. That is notably useful for recording lectures and conferences to wind up with a transcript that is each searchable and editable.
Getting began with making a voice recording in iOS 18 Notes means realizing which menu merchandise to pick out after which drilling down into the instruments for including a full transcript of your recording. Here is how you can file audio from inside Notes.

So as to add that transcript to the be aware, faucet the Extra menu — the three dots — within the higher proper nook and choose Add Transcript to Observe.

I’ve run into an occasional bug within the iOS 18 beta the place the Add Transcript to Observe command leads to code and never the transcript being posted into the be aware. I think about that can get mounted in a subsequent replace, however if you happen to run into an analogous situation, simply choose Copy Transcript from the identical menu. You may then paste what you’ve got copied into the be aware for enhancing and looking out.
