Transcription not accessible on Voice Memos

Don't tap on the three dots. Tap on the recording you want to get the transcription for. The Tap on the waveform icon (the group of vertical lines) at the bottom left.

I am having this exact same issue. Upgraded to iOS 18 and it persists.

I have the same problem. There seems to be no solution until the next update. Seemingly Apple is now having problems never previoulsy encountered. Dont expect this kind of glitch from them.

I'm on 18.3. I found the transcription button (it looks like a pair of quotes, similar to those for viewing song lyrics in the Music app). However, I get the following error message about needing an internet connection for transcription support. Problem is, I'm at home on wifi (yes, I tested that it's working), so whatever "support" it needs to download should be able to do so. I can't find anywhere else in the app's settings to fix this.

iPhone 15 iOS v18.3 with same issue & rebooted etc to no avail. Tried duplicating recording; using iPad 🤷‍♀️ no change

I was having this same issue and I believe it was only affecting the recordings from before my most recent iOS update. I was able to click the waveform box and comment icon for the most recent recordings only. For the older ones, I went to the recording and clicked the three dots on the right and selected “duplicate.” When I opened the newly produced copy, I was able to generate a transcript. Not sure why this worked but so far so good!

I have updated the iPhone SE with iOS 18.3.1, reset network settings, rebooted the phone but I cannot get Voice Memos to show “View Transcript” or “Copy Transcript” options. I have checked that the Region is set to United States.

Any suggestions to resolve this?

I was wondering if you were able to fix your “view transcript” issue? I can view transcript in the three dots dropdown but the transcript doesn’t make sense, just a shortened version of odd sentences from the recording. I’m on 18.3 and it was working perfectly previously. Help

Having the same issues. Not seeing anything related to transcripts. USA region. iOS 18.0.1.

From the "All Recordings" screen, select the recording you want to see the transcription for. Don't open it. Don't tap on any dots. Don't try to edit it.

You also won't see the waveform until there's something to transcribe. There is nothing to transcribe in your screenshot.
