Recording and transcribing interviews on Note using an Intel Mac (26.))

Is it possible to use the Notes/Transcribe function on an Intel-based Mac using 26.0. If so, how? I vaguely remember seeing something that you can only do it on Apple silicon, but can't seem to find it again either way. Thanks

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 26.0

You are correct: this feature is not available on Intel Mac. This Apple article states:


Audio transcription is available on Mac computers with M1 or later when the device language is set to English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
