Edited by Grimm, Margiebell, Eng, Jen M and 11 others
You are watching VisiHow. Today, we are going to teach you how to access and use the Memo function on your Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone or your S5 Mini, or Mini Duos. To start off, start by tapping the power button. One time on the right side of your phone.
Steps
- 1I'm swiping because that's the method I have set up. This should take you directly to you home screen.This should bring up your locked screen, which will prompt you to swipe across the screen, or enter pass-code or PIN or another method of unlocking.
Advertisement - 2This icon will take you to the applications folder. Just tap it one time.Once you are on your home screen, you're going to want to find the applications button icon, which is down at the bottom right-hand side.
Advertisement - 3What we're looking for is what looks like a little notepad icon. You may have to scroll around to find it depending on how much in your system, or how much you've modified the system. When you do find the memo icon, just give it one tap.That will open up the application folder.
- 4As you can see, there are no memos here. However, I can create a memo, simply by pressing the plus button.That's going to open up the memo application.
- 5I can add a memo. So let's say Hello, for example. I can enter a title. Our title will be "Hi 1".One press on the plus button creates a memo.
- 6Now I can save this memo.
- 7I can now add another memo by pressing the plus button. We'll call this memo "Voice 1" and now instead of writing something, I can press this button.And I've saved the Hi 1 memo.
- 8I can say "This is a test voice memo which I am recording because I like to record voice memos and make great tutorials". Now I'm going to press the stop button.And I can begin recording a voice memo.
- 9I can also add a picture if I would like to take a photo or an image.I now have the voice memo.
- 10Or, if I don't want to take a photo image, just tap the screen to back out of that.
- 11Now I also have, as you can see at the bottom, my 8-second voice memo.
- 12I can tap Text if I would like.
- 13I further have additional options here where I can add a category.I can just type in Hello, for example.
- 14I have my voice memo down here. I can press X to delete that if I would like to delete it.Now I'm going to tap to go back.
- 15I'm going to tap Save to save the voice memo.
- 16The reason it reads none is because this is the category of none. If I want to change the name of this category, then I'm going to have to manage categories. Managing categories is done by tapping the memo bar there.As you can see now, I have two memos, however, my phone is still reading none here.
- 17And then tapping manage categories.
- 18I tap on the plus sign to add a category.
- 19And I can add the category of, for example, voice.
- 20Now I have two categories. If I tap on the voice category, there's nothing there, if I'd like to delete one of them, I simply press on the minus sign, and they ask do you want to delete it, and I can answer OK.And I can now add another category, and I can name that category Text.
- 21To add something to it, I'm going to tap the memo button, then I'm going to tap on my category none.Now that I've created my voice category, we can go back and add something to it.
- 22Once I've tapped on my category none, when I tap into the memo itself, I get a little menu which pops up here.
- 23I can then just tap on the voice category.
- 24Now if I save my memo, it is saved to the voice category, as you can see when I tap on voice.
- 25If I would like to delete the memo, I can simply hit delete.
- 26I can instead go here, and I can rename the category.If I would prefer not to delete it, tapping back takes me out of it.
- 27Let's cancel that. When I'm in a memo, I can share this memo.To something entirely different.
- 28So I can share this memo and I will have a number of different options that will allow me to share it.Or print them.
- 29So I could tap WiFi, I could tap Bluetooth, I could tap Google, however, we're not going to be sharing this memo, so there's no need to do that.WiFi, Bluetooth, Google, etc, etc, down a very long list of different and unique applications.
- 30Now, again, I can save my memo.
- 31I can go back to All which will show me all of my categories.
- 32Thank-you for choosing VisiHow, and have a great day.This concludes our basic tutorial for how to use the Memo function on the Samsung Galaxy S5.

Questions and Answers
I just purchased an iPhone 7, I need to get my MEMO into an iPhone?
I tried several ways, none worked so far, I saw your video and thought you could help. I do have my MEMO visible in the phone, however even though I backed-up the phone, it does not appear in my SD card, so I could transfer them.. . Any thoughts would be very welcome.. Thanks Grimm,. Happy Holidays buddy. Great explanation on MEMO. I do not think you need to change your video contents, it is very useful for those who are new to using MEMO. Thanks. I have tried: Used Kies, SmartSwitch, back up. I have tried several different ways, but cannot find MEMO. I think it was caused by: Not sure what I can use to transfer MEMO to my new iPhone

how to "edit" an existing memo?
I can't seem to see a way to EDIT an existing memo, why would we have to DELETE an entire memo just to edit something in it?
Tap on the location within the memo. You can also double-tap on the location to select a word. A blue handlebar will appear. This will enable editing. Tap and drag the handlebar ends to select more text to edit. Alternatively, tap on "Select All". With the text selected, you can either type text or tap on "Cut", for example.
How to export voice record on the software memo?
After I recorded voice with the memo software, I want to export it to my PC now, but could not. I copied the file named .memo to my PC but no software can convert it to a format that I can use, just like mp3, wav, mp4, etc.. I have tried: I exported the file to my PC, converted in format factory, pazera's audio converter, adobe premiere,adobe audition, but failed.. I think it was caused by: I don't know.
