Supported file formats

Upload common meeting, memo, lecture, and interview recordings from your phone or computer.

  • iPhone Voice Memos

    .m4a files from Voice Memos can be uploaded directly from your device or sent through Share Sheet with a Shortcut.

  • Audio recordings

    MP3 and WAV files work well for interviews, field notes, calls, and offline meeting recordings.

  • Video and web audio

    MP4, MPEG, MPGA, and WebM are supported when the file contains speech audio that needs transcription.

How audio upload works

Move from recording to reusable notes in three steps.

  • 1

    Choose a file

    Select a recording, then set the source language and the language you want for translation.

  • 2

    Let LingoFlow process it

    Long audio is handled as an upload workflow, so you can follow progress without starting a live session.

  • 3

    Save the result

    Review the transcript, translation, and summary, then export everything as Markdown.

Use cases

Designed for recordings that need to become searchable, shareable text.

  • Meetings and negotiations

    Upload recordings after a meeting, or use Meeting Translation when you need live support.

  • Interviews and field notes

    Record on your phone, upload later, and keep a transcript with translation and summary attached.

  • Lectures and training

    Convert long learning sessions into text that can be searched, summarized, and shared with a team.

FAQ

Do I need to start a realtime session?

No. Audio transcription is built for recorded files, so you can upload a file and process it separately from live translation.

Can I upload iPhone Voice Memos?

Yes. Voice Memos usually export as .m4a files, which are supported by LingoFlow.

Can I translate and summarize the transcript?

Yes. After transcription, LingoFlow can create a translation and a structured Markdown summary from the same recording.
