Forgetting to stop recording after a lecture, meeting, or writing session is something many Noted users are all too familiar with. As a result, they’re left with hours and hours of excess recording which can be difficult to review and eat up storage space.
It’s no surprise an audio trimming tool was one of our most highly requested features, and it arrived in Version 3.2.
In this post we’ll show you how to use the Audio Trimming tool on iOS and macOS to truncate unnecessarily long recordings and keep only the part you need.
How to Trim an Audio Recording
iOS
- In the note, tap ⋯ → Info.
- Tap ✂️ Trim, next to Remove under File size.
- Drag the Start and End handles to the part you want to keep.
- Tap ✓.
Trim is part of Noted+.
To undo trimming:
Open Trim again and tap the undo arrow at the top right. Remember, trimming is final once you exit the note and cannot be undone.
macOS
- Open Note Settings.
- Click on the Trim button under ‘Audio file size’.
- Drag the Trim Frame to select the part you want to keep.
- Click Trim.
To undo trimming:
Fire up the Audio Trimming window again and click the Undo button, or use the shortcut Command(⌘)+Z. Like iOS, you can’t undo trimming after you’ve exited the note.
No more lengthy audio!
With our Audio Trimming, you can say goodbye to parts of an excessively long recording quickly and easily.
