The demonstration of Apple’s efforts in the field of artificial intelligence is of interest to many people. They are especially interested in what AI-based improvements can be made to the iPhone’s main assistant, Siri. Representatives of the tech giant have repeatedly hinted that iOS 18 will be completely dedicated to artificial intelligence, and now new rumours have appeared that confirm this opinion.
Apple Insider sources suggest that iOS 18 may feature significantly improved audio transcription and the function of creating a summary on the iPhone with the help of artificial intelligence. If these features become publicly available, users will be able to make real-time transcriptions of their audio recordings. It is very convenient when you need to decipher a lecture, podcast or interview.
The Voice Memos application that is installed on Apple gadgets by default will be one of the first to get this feature. Early versions of the program will offer real-time decoding of each audio recording. The transcribed text will take centre stage in the application window, replacing the large graphical display of the recorded audio in the application.
Transcription will also appear in a future version of Notes. According to insiders, in previous versions of both applications, there was a special transcription button that resembled a bubble, like in comics. By clicking on it, you will see a transcription of the audio recorded in the application.
Also, after the update, Notes should have the option to summarize the recorded audio with artificial intelligence, which will give you a quick text summary of the main points and points of the action plan. With an AI-powered summary feature, as well as new in-app audio recording and real-time transcription capabilities, Apple’s Notes app is about to get powerful.
For example, students will be able to easily record lectures and classes directly from Notes without using third-party tools. When recording in the updated app, they will be able to add a transcription and summary, as well as other media such as images, links, tables and more.
The upcoming transcription and summary features are just part of Apple’s bigger AI moves this year. Industry experts and enthusiasts are looking forward to the improvements that Safari can get. For example, intelligent search based on AI and a tool that uses AI to summarize the content of sites.
It is expected that the evolution of AI in Siri can begin as early as Apple’s WWDC 2024 conference, which is scheduled to start on June 10, and during the keynote, you can learn a lot about product updates and the company’s plans for the near future.
