- How do I trim an audio recording in Noted? 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.
- How do I use the equalizer to improve audio quality? During playback, open the 1x menu and switch on EQ. The presets cut background hiss or lift voices, so a recording made in a noisy room is easier to hear without re-recording it.
- How do I use the iOS 18 Shortcuts for Noted? Open Control Centre, tap Edit Controls, search for Noted and add Start Recording, New Note or Replay Last Recording. Each control then works from the Lock Screen and Control Centre without opening the app.
- How do I import audio or video into a note? Open the note, tap Import Media on the toolbar and pick an audio or video file from the Files app (iOS) or Finder (macOS). The file becomes the note's recording, and anything you type is time-stamped to it.
- What is Intelligent Playback and how do I turn it on? Intelligent Playback skips silence and noise such as applause automatically. Turn it on from the 1x button next to Play: toggle it on iOS, or tick Enable on macOS.
- How do I change the playback speed of a recording? Tap the 1x button next to Play and choose a speed from 0.5x to 3x. The setting applies to that recording, and time-stamps still jump to the right moment at any speed.
- How do I record an audio note? Tap the Record button at the top of the editor and start typing; every word is time-stamped to the audio. There is no length limit beyond your device's free storage, and recording carries on with the screen locked.
- How do I record my screen on Mac with Noted? Click the Screen Recording icon on the Mac toolbar, choose the screen or window and press Record. Noted captures the screen, its audio and your microphone into the note, with everything you type time-stamped.
- How can I adjust the recording quality in Noted? Choose Low, Standard or High under Settings → Recording. High keeps the most detail, Low uses about a quarter of the space; Standard suits most lectures and meetings.
- How do I skip forward or back in a recording? Tap the skip buttons either side of Play to jump back or forward, 10 seconds by default. Change the interval under Settings → General → Skip forward / Skip back, on iOS and macOS.
