Apple has big plans for AI and is reportedly playing catch up, but the Cupertino-based company is moving quickly. The latest AI rumor is that the iPhone maker plans to bring real-time transcription to the Voice Memos and Notes apps, which would let users see a live transcription of audio recordings in the apps.
Shared by The Verge, the integrated AI in Voice Memos and Notes apps is expected to arrive with the release of iOS 18, which won’t be here until September. You may notice that Notes does not currently let users record audio. Allegedly, that feature will also be coming in iOS 18. If voice recording is added to the Notes app, could we see a consolidation of the Voice Memo and Notes apps? For now, it appears that they will remain separate.
