Android recording apps/was RE: [all-audio] Olympus LS-P4 Recorder

[Norma A. Boge]

Check out Stereomatch's apps on the Play Store, his Amazing MP3 Recorder gets 
pretty high marks from folks on the Eyes Free list. (BTW, it records in more 
than Mp3.) Plus Stereomatch is on the Eyes Free list and very responsive to 
questions, resolving issues and feature requests.  HTH Norma

[all-audio] Nokia Android Phone

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi!

I think you mentioned you have an Android Nokia phone so how are you 
finding it from an audio perspective and ave you having any issues with 
Talkback etc?


I've known about the Nokia Android phones but have never played with one.

I don't know whether this is true but I'm told that some of the Apps on 
the Nokia Android phones aren't actually Android at all thus they can't 
be used.


Again this is only what I've been told and I've had no hands-on 
experience. Perhaps the above statement only refers to 1 or 2 Nokia 
Android models as I know more than 1 model is available.


I'm glad you're enjoying Easy Vocie Recorder Pro and I wish I'd known 
about the App earlier, was by complete accident that I stumbled across 
the App.

Bought this App for $4.99 and it looks quite accessible but more importantly I 
believe I can get quite good results from it as these 2 files I hope will 
demonstrate.
The first one is how Easy Voice Recorder sounded by default when recording on 
my Sony xPeria X-Performance phone.
With I did some tweaking with the settings of Voice Recorder Pro in this next 
recording.
Firstly I set the recording quality to high and used the sample rate of 44.1KH~ 
16 bit.
I turned on stereo mode though I’m not sure whether the Sony xPeria actually 
supports stereo mode but no harm done I guess.
I then turned noise suppression and echo cancelation off.
Having done that I changed the recording profile to Raw Music sound, there are 
several you can choose from including Voice Notes, Meetings and lectures.
I set things up so the recording would be uploaded to Dropbox once the stop 
button was activated and the recording would be uploaded in Wave uncompressed 
format, you can change settings for this including configurations that allow 
for the uploading of wave files to your cloud service of choice whilst files 
shared via eMail etc are compressed to MP3, AAC and so on.

No reason why you couldn't try the Easy Voice Recorder App I made 
mention of a couple of days ago.

I get really lost on recorders and such without speech.

It has stereo input so one can reccord in stereo and if you use the Video 
camera you can do 360° recordings.
I think its the best Android phone i’ve had since i started with Android.

lost when I lost the speach on my IPod Nanno. I did eventually get speach back 
though. But it was rough.

The Stop button takes you to the home screen for example.

 From there pressing the record button once puts you into 'Record Standby" mode 
and a further press starts the recording.

Pressing stop at this point stops the recording or pressing enter stops the 
recording and plays the recording back.

Remember that Voice Guideance with Olympus recorders is certainly not perfect 
thus you have to get used to a few functions working without it.

Turningt the "Intro Scan" function on may well be a very good idea since the 
recorder doesn't announce the names of files as you scroll to know you have the right one 
you can then hear a couple of seconds at the beginning of each file as you scroll.

For recording going in and out of folders I did okayish since ya know it's 
Olympus. It's a DM. Not much science there. But something with no sound at all?

For example a Sony PCM-d50 doesn’t have anything much to aid accessibility but 
the recorder is very usable.

pretty sure this is a audio list for blind guys, right??
