Apple has recently announced the introduction of a built-in phone recording feature that will be integrated into the operating system through layers of artificial intelligence. This feature allows users to record phone calls with just a tap on the screen, and both parties in the conversation will be warned that the call is being recorded. The screen will display a visual representation of the sound level as well as a timer showing the duration of the recording.
Once the recording is complete, it will be sent to Notes for playback, and using Apple Intelligence technology powered by artificial intelligence, it will be automatically transcribed for easy reading. Users can also request a condensed version of the transcription for a more concise overview. The recorded conversation and transcription will be saved for future use, allowing users to search for specific text in the transcript and combine parts of the conversation with other notes.
Initially, this feature supports several languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, and Portuguese. The new operating system IOS18 is currently available as a developer beta for bug fixes. It is recommended that users who have experience with beta versions download and test the new features. For others, it is advised to wait for the stable release in two months.
This new feature eliminates the need for third-party apps like TapeACall and Call Recorder that had limitations or charged fees for recording and transcription services.
In conclusion, Apple’s built-in phone recording feature powered by artificial intelligence offers an easy way to record phone calls and transcribe them automatically. This feature saves time and eliminates unnecessary expenses associated with third-party apps while providing users with greater flexibility in managing their conversations and notes.
