How to rename voice memos to their titles? (Mac)

[RenaissanceBrah]

I'm trying to get all my voice memo's, with their original name, onto a external hard drive.

(My filenames are all just the date of the recording).

(I was able to find this script for Windows, but not sure if there's something similar I could do on a Mac)

More Details:

I named the memos on my iPhone, in the Voice Memo's app, but when I locate them on my hard drive on my computer, they all have default names that are just the date created.

E.g. 20230405-23234.m4a instead of "Math Lecture April 4 2023.m4a" for example.

And I have 1500+ Voice Memo's which are very important to me, and I need to search through in the future.

(Running an iPhone XS with 14.5.1 and MacBook Pro with High Sierra 10.13.6)

To rename your voice memos to their original titles on a Mac, you can use a script in Automator to batch rename the files. First, connect your iPhone to your Mac and sync your voice memos to the Mac's Voice Memos app. Open Automator and create a new workflow. Add the "Get Specified Finder Items" action and select your voice memo files. Then, add the "Rename Finder Items" action and choose "Add Text" or "Replace Text" to rename the files based on their titles in the Voice Memos app. Save and run the workflow to rename all files accordingly. This process will help ensure all your voice memos are appropriately titled for easy searching and management.
