Quick answer
Samsung is integrating cloud-based transcription into the Voice Recorder app to boost speech recognition accuracy.
Samsung is preparing a major update for its proprietary Voice Recorder app, aimed at addressing one of its key challenges—low transcription accuracy in complex conditions. According to leaks, the app will introduce cloud-based transcription, allowing audio recordings to be processed on Samsung’s servers rather than solely on the device.
Currently, Voice Recorder uses on-device AI for speech-to-text conversion, ensuring privacy but sometimes struggling with long or low-quality recordings. The new feature will give users a choice: fast local processing or more accurate cloud-based transcription. Local transcription will remain available for those who prefer not to send data to servers.
In addition to improved transcription, the update includes a new storage management section to help users monitor and free up occupied space. Support for exporting recordings in MP3 and WAV formats will also be added, expanding options for editing and sharing files. Currently, the app saves audio only in M4A format.
Visual changes will include an animated waveform in the recordings list, while toggles will become more streamlined by removing unnecessary labels. The update is expected to launch alongside One UI 9, whose release is planned for the coming weeks.
