NoteCube한국어Quick answer
To transcribe an interview, run the recording through a transcription tool, label speakers and timestamps, then check it against the audio. Import the file into NoteCube to get a speaker-labeled, timestamped transcript; tap any line to replay that moment while you verify names and numbers. Then send the text to your document.
How it works
Get the recording ready
Save the interview audio to your phone’s Files app. If you recorded in NoteCube, skip this step.
Import and transcribe
Record → “Import a file”. Long recordings take a few minutes.
Check it against the audio
Tap a line to replay it. Pay special attention to names, numbers and technical terms.
Move it into your document
From the record’s More tab, send the full transcript — with speakers and timestamps — to email or Notes and paste it into your template.
What a transcript should include
Date and place, participants (speakers), timestamps and what was said. Mark inaudible parts as “[inaudible]” instead of guessing.
For journalism, research and user interviews
Anywhere you need exact words: news interviews, user research, counseling notes, meeting records. If you only need decisions and action items, meeting minutes fit better.
Before you record: consent
Consent rules differ by country and, in the US, by state. US federal law allows recording when you are a party to the conversation or one party has consented (18 U.S.C. §2511(2)(d)); California requires the consent of all parties for confidential communications (Penal Code §632). Tell interviewees you’re recording before you start. This is general information, not legal advice.
Using it as evidence? Check the requirements
Transcripts for courts or official proceedings may need a specific format or certification. Check with the receiving body or a professional first. Automatic transcription can make mistakes — always verify against the audio.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between a transcript and minutes?
A transcript records every word; minutes summarize decisions and action items. NoteCube produces both from one recording.
Can I transcribe a one-hour interview?
Yes. Your first 60 cumulative minutes are free; beyond that you need Pro (300 minutes a month) or credits.
Does it work for Korean interviews?
Yes — Korean, English and interviews that mix the two.
Can I transcribe a phone interview?
Yes. On iOS 18.1 or later you can record the call in the Phone app, save the audio file from Notes and import it into NoteCube. See our guide to recording and transcribing a phone call.
