Voice memo transcription language

Hi Everyone,


i am colombian, living in Germany. My phone language is set to English.

i like talking to siri in English, I have the feeling it works better on this language. But that is not the point, I just dont want to talk to siri in German. Anyways, I use the voice memo app to record meetings, which are in German. But the transcription does not work because the phone language is English. Is there any way to change the transcription language so it works better?


regards,

Tinoxps

Hello.


Thanks again for your question – it’s completely understandable that you prefer to use Siri in English while still needing accurate transcriptions for your German recordings. You’re definitely not alone in this, and it’s a bit unfortunate that Apple hasn’t yet made the Voice Memos app more flexible when it comes to language settings. That’s why it’s great to know there’s a simple and reliable solution with the Aiko app. It allows you to transcribe speech in German without changing your iPhone’s system language, all while keeping your data private and processing everything locally. I really hope this makes things easier for you.
