The Incomparable's radio show; or, more recently, short song sketches or covers.</p> <p>When I want to get those off my iPhone, I've got a few different options: It all depends on what computer I'm using.<!--break--></p> <h2>On your primary computer: Use iTunes</h2> <p>If you want to send voice memos to the computer you also happen to use to sync your iPhone, it's easy enough.</p> <ol><li>Connect your iPhone to your computer via USB or Wi-Fi sync.</li> <li>Open <strong>iTunes</strong>. </li> <li>Click the icon that represents your iPhone along the top menu bar.

From there, you can drag memos to your desktop or anywhere else you want them stored.</p> <h2>If you don't want memos in iTunes: Use the Share Sheet</h2> <p>If you're not on your primary computer for iTunes syncing or you'd just prefer not to use iTunes, there's a far simpler, easier way to get your memos onto your computer: AirDrop. Make sure both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled on your iPhone and Mac, then do the following:</p> <ol><li>Open <strong>Voice Memos</strong> on your iOS device.</li> <li>Select the track you'd like to download.
