  • How to Extract a Voice Memo from an iPhone


    The iPhone allows users to make voice memos while they are away from the computer. Users can make live recordings of their thoughts, shows, or just about anything that can be audibly detected. In order to extract a voice memo from the iPhone, either use the iTunes synchronization feature (with voice memos selected as an option to upload automatically when synced with the computer) or purchase a third party app that provides additional options to extract voice memos from the iPhone.
