Voice Dictation
Choose whether Cella saves a finished recording immediately or lets you review it first.
Choose how recordings save
Open More > Settings > Voice Dictation.
- Leave Auto-save dictation off to review and edit each transcript before saving.
- Turn it on to save a valid transcript as soon as recording stops.
Auto-save does not save an empty transcript. An unusually large transcript still opens for review rather than saving automatically.
Record a voice note
- Tap Capture > Voice.
- Allow microphone and speech-recognition permission when asked.
- Tap the microphone to begin.
- Tap Pause and Resume as needed.
- Tap stop when finished.
- If review is enabled, correct the text and tap Save.
The timer shows progress toward the five-minute recording limit.
Fix permission problems
If Cella shows Microphone access needed or Speech recognition is off, tap Open Settings and enable the requested permission for Cella.
On-device speech recognition must be supported for the iPhone and current language. If it is not available, use Paste Text or another capture method.
Good to know: Voice capture stores the transcript as a vault item. Cella does not keep the recording as an audio-file attachment.
