voice memo
Spoken phone reminder
A voice memo is an audio recording made on a phone or other device, typically to capture a quick thought, reminder, or idea.
The term emphasizes brevity and convenience—you're leaving yourself a note, just spoken rather than written: I left myself a voice memo about the meeting.
Musicians often use voice memos to capture song ideas before they forget them.
