Can I search inside my voice memos?

Once a memo is transcribed, yes. Shared to BrainTube, each memo becomes text you can search by meaning, next to everything else you saved.

Turn iPhone Voice Memos Into Searchable Notes

Voice memos are the fastest way to catch an idea and the slowest way to find it again. Here is how to make every memo a transcribed, searchable note in a few taps.

By Ilian Raykov, founder of BrainTube

The short answer

Record in Voice Memos as usual.
Share the memo to BrainTube: it is transcribed, summarised and filed.
Search it by meaning or ask Cue about it later.

Step by step

1. Record as usual

Record in Voice Memos the way you always do: an idea on a walk, a meeting recap, a lecture.

2. Share it to BrainTube

In Voice Memos, tap the recording, tap ••• or Share, and choose BrainTube. The memo is transcribed, summarised and filed in your library.

3. Search by meaning

Find it later by what you said, not by the file name: "the pricing idea from last week" finds the memo even if it is called New Recording 14.

4. Ask and review

Ask Cue a question across your memos, videos and articles, with links to the sources, and let spaced-repetition recall bring the important ones back.
