iPhone call recordings: bring audio into Library

In Record Audio → Meeting, choose How to import an iPhone call for the illustrated guide. It opens only when selected and does not start recording.

  1. Use Apple's More → Call Recording where supported, with any required participant permission. Apple announces recording. For a past conversation, open only the recording you intend to import in Notes → Call Recordings. Choose More → Save Audio Files to keep its audio in Files. Choose the audio, not the note or copied transcript.
  2. In Safari, sign in to your own account at app.myscribe.co. Choose Library → Import (+) → Upload media → Preview audio before importing. In the illustrated guide on the website, Choose audio opens the same picker. Choose one M4A, MP3, WAV, AAC, CAF or AIFF file, maximum 50 MB.
  3. The preview shows the signed-in account and lets you play the actual audio locally. Nothing uploads yet. A local browser copy is kept for retry; Safari can clear site storage, so keep your original. On a shared device, remove local copies when finished. Choosing the same file again in this account reopens its retained local copy rather than adding another.
  4. Choose Import and transcribe to save a private recording and request transcription, summary and tasks using your current owner-specific AI-sharing/background choices. Processing can consume plan allowances or incur usage charges. No manual API key is needed. Saved confirms a Library receipt; processing accepted does not mean finished. Open the saved recording to check results.

Resume or pause. Keep for later closes the preview. During a transfer, Pause import stops the foreground wait and retains the local retry identity; processing already accepted may continue. Reopen Audio kept in this browser — review, or choose Resume local audio in the picker. A saved item can offer Start transcription; after an uncertain request, open the saved recording before retrying. Another tab cannot claim the same local processing launch twice. The receipt stays bound to the original account and workspace; switch back to finish it. Deduplication does not cover independent devices or a new selection after removing the retained copy.

Remove this local copy only removes the browser's staging copy. It does not remove the original in Notes/Files or a saved Library recording. If browser storage is unavailable/full, selection fails before upload; keep the original and use a browser tab with available local storage. Do not clear site storage as a way to retry an unconfirmed upload.

The installed native app keeps its existing Upload media flow; a website deployment does not add the separate native file receiver. The guide's Open Library button still opens Library. Availability of Apple's call recording depends on iOS version, language and region; see Apple's call-recording instructions. This is a manual selected-file import, not automatic access to Notes, an installed Shortcut, or a background collection of past calls.
