How to transcribe Apple Voice Memos on Mac?โ–ผ

This skill locates your Voice Memos in their hidden macOS folder and batch-transcribes them locally using Parakeet or whisper.cpp at roughly 60x realtime. No audio ever leaves your Mac and no API keys are required.

Can it rename Voice Memos so titles sync to iPhone?โ–ผ

Yes. It renames memos through the Mac Voice Memos app UI, which is the only sync-safe method, so the new descriptive titles appear on your iPhone via iCloud.

Does it work without coding experience?โ–ผ

Yes. After a one-time setup, you simply ask your agent to organize your voice memos and it handles finding, transcribing, summarizing, and indexing everything automatically.

Which transcription engine should I choose?โ–ผ

Parakeet is recommended for most users thanks to better punctuation and accuracy, while whisper.cpp is the lighter option for Macs with less RAM or for languages Parakeet does not cover.
