Summarize an audio recording on Mac with Apple Intelligence
You can record audio in Notes—like a class lecture or an important meeting—then use Apple Intelligence* to generate a summary of the transcript, so you can get to the most important information at a glance.
Note: Apple Intelligence is available in macOS 15.1 on Mac models with M1 or later, with Siri and device language set to U.S. English. To get started, see Get started with Apple Intelligence.
View a summary of an audio recording in Notes
After you record audio in the Notes app, you can see a summary of the recording. If you recorded a phone call on your iPhone, you can also view those summaries in Notes on your Mac.
Go to the Notes app
on your Mac.Open a note with a recording.
Note: If you recorded a call on your iPhone, the recording appears in the Call Recordings folder.
Click the recording, then click
Summary.
To copy or share the summary, click 
in the Summary dialog, then choose Copy Summary or Share Summary.
