The AI Audio Summarizer Shortcut for iPhone and Mac
Here is a powerful shortcut that works across your Apple devices to take any audio file and use Apple Intelligence to create a clear and comprehensive summary. It’s perfect for processing voice memos, lecture recordings, or meeting audio right on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac without needing any third-party services.
What the Shortcut Does
When you give this shortcut an audio file, it performs the following steps automatically:

1. It first transcribes the entire audio file into text.
2. It then uses Apple Intelligence to analyze the transcript and generate a well-structured summary, using headings and bullet points to make the information easy to digest.
3. It saves this summary as a new, richly formatted note in your Apple Notes app.
4. Once finished, it verbally announces, “Summary ready,” so you know the process is complete.

How to Install the Shortcut

1. Follow the iCloud link to install the shortcut: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/f0ff07a2e53f4cbd916161bfbfa6a5e3](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/f0ff07a2e53f4cbd916161bfbfa6a5e3)
2. The Shortcuts app will open and display the shortcut’s details.
3. Navigate to and activate the “Add Shortcut” button to add it to your library.

How to Use the Shortcut
There are three primary ways to use this shortcut:

• Method 1: Using the Share Sheet

This is the easiest method and works well in apps like Voice Memos or Files. Navigate to the recording you want to summarize, activate the “Share” button, and then select “Summarize Audio” from the list of share options.

• Method 2: Using Quick Actions (macOS)
  1. In Finder on your Mac, select the audio file you want to process.
  2. With VoiceOver, open the context menu by pressingVO+Shift+M.
  3. Navigate down to the “Quick Actions” submenu, and then find and activate “Summarize Audio”.
• Method 3: Running it Directly
  1. Open the Shortcuts app on any of your devices.
  2. Find “Summarize Audio” in your list of shortcuts and activate it.
  3. A dialog will appear asking you to select an audio file. Choose your file and activate the “Open” button.

Important Requirements

• This shortcut requires a device running iOS 26 or macOS Tahoe (or later).
• The first time you run the shortcut, your device may ask for permission to allow Shortcuts to interact with the Notes app. You must approve this request for it to work correctly.
