How do I trim an audio recording in Noted?
Published on Last updated
Short answer
Open the recording, tap the trim tool, drag the handles to the part you want to keep and confirm. Trimming is permanent once you leave the note, so check the selection first.
We’re sure there have been many times when you began recording an audio note and forgot about it, only to be left with a 10-hour recording of a 30-minute meeting or seminar, which can be difficult to review and make a dent in your storage space.
To solve this issue, we introduced the Audio Trimming tool in our Version 3.2 update & above. This feature allows you to trim down your recordings to just the essential parts you need. However, please note that once you trim an audio file, the removed parts cannot be undone.

To Undo Trimming Open Audio Trimming again and click the Undo button next to ✂️ at the top right corner. Remember, trimming is final once you exit the note and cannot be undone.
