A few days ago we summarized in an article all the information we had on the possible and expected advances around iOS 18 and some of its native applications. It is clear that artificial intelligence (AI) will be one of the most important threads in the presentation of all new operating systems at WWDC24. In the last few hours we have learned of a new rumor in the form of a new function that could reach iOS 18 and the rest of the systems: audio transcription, it could come to some native applications such as voice memos and notes. We tell you everything below.
iOS 18 will introduce audio transcription to some apps
Audio transcription is a function that allows you to transcribe voice messages or notes into text form. This function is not strange to us since a few weeks ago Apple introduced a new option with iOS 17.4 in which we could view transcripts of Apple Podcast episodes, a decision that surprised us but is one of the most interesting functions known to date in this application.

Apparently, a new rumor about transcription of audio in the Notes and Voice Memos applications to iOS 18 and the new operating systems of the Big Apple. This way we could have the content of an audio as text. This does not seem unknown to us since currently in iOS 17 we can have the transcription of what a person leaves us in voicemail.
This new feature would go even further and be available in certain native applications. Additionally, in the Notes app itself A summary of the voice note was accessible using artificial intelligence tools, a good tandem that would be very useful to users.
