Does Keynote create transcripts for recorded audio editing?

I have recorded on Keynote and would like to edit the audio. Does Keynote create a transcript to make corrections or edits?

Keynote does not provide transcription of audio or any means to edit that audio.


Although Apple's Voice Memo app can record, and provides a one-button transcription of that audio to text, it does not include editing capability. That Voice Memo audio can be drag/dropped into Keynote, and separately, so can the transcribed text.
