After you stop the recording
AudioScribe does these steps. The screen shows each step.
- Uploading: AudioScribe sends the audio to our servers.
- Transcribing: AudioScribe changes the audio into text.
- Rewriting: AudioScribe rewrites the text in your writing style.
Then AudioScribe shows your note. To stop the processing, select Cancel.
If Quick Selection is on, AudioScribe first asks you to select a writing style and an output language. Refer to Quick Selection.
If the processing fails
AudioScribe shows “Something went wrong” and the cause of the error. Your recording is not lost. Select one of these buttons:
- Retry: does the failed step again.
- Download Audio: saves the recording on your device. You can upload it later.
- Back: goes back to the home screen.
Add more audio to a note
With AudioScribe Pro, you can record more audio and add it to a note that you have.
- Open the note.
- Select Append.
- Record the new audio. The screen shows “Adding to” and the title of the note.
- Select the stop button.
If you edited the note before, AudioScribe asks how to add the new audio:
- Keep my edits: AudioScribe adds the new text and does not change your edits.
- Rewrite the whole note: AudioScribe rewrites all of the note. Your edits are replaced.
After AudioScribe adds the audio, it shows “Added to note”. To remove the new audio, select Undo in the next 10 seconds.
