There’s also a built-in dictation app on Google’s Pixel phones: Recorder. Recorder is a Pixel exclusive from Google. Then go to your list of recordings, hit Edit, select the ones you want, tap Move in the bottom left, and touch the folder you want to store it in. To stay organized, go to the main Voice Memos screen and use the folder icon in the bottom right to create a folder. Tap the magic wand (top left) to clean up any background noise.
You can trim out bits you don’t want to keep and even record over sections of the clip. Tap any recording to hear it or edit it (via the three dots on the left, then Edit Recording). The app is available on Macs and iPads too, and your recordings will sync across your Apple devices so you can access them from anywhere. To turn off location-based naming and adjust the audio quality of recordings, choose Voice Memos from the main iOS settings screen.
By default the app will name your memo using your current location, but you can rename a clip by pressing and holding on its title. Just tap the big red button at the bottom of the screen to start recording, and tap it again to stop. The Voice Memos app is built into iOS, so it’s a convenient option for anyone with an iPhone. Voice Memos is available on all Apple devices.
