Hi Donald, You might want to give Dropvox a try. Note it is "Dropvox" with a "v" as in victor. This is a super simple voice recorder which is made to work with Dropbox as in the cloud storage service. Of course you do need a Dropbox account and Dropbox installed on your phone to use it, but if you do anyways it works great. You can create a folder on your computer in the Dropbox folder and call it "Voice Recordings" or something like that. Then in the Dropvox app go into Settings, link Dropvox to your Dropbox account and select that folder. Then any recording you do will automatically be uploaded to your Dropbox and, of course, it will also download to any computer you have automatically and it is in MP3 format. You can also set it to only upload on WiFi if you don't want to use data, then the file will be saved on your phone until you get home and are back on WiFi at which time it will automatically get uploaded. Once everything is set up, you can even set Dropvox to record automatically and immediately upon opening the app. If not all you have is a button to get to Settings and a very big Record button. It also works fine with Voiceover on the external speaker, yes, you will hear anything you do with Voiceover in the recording, but if that doesn't bother you then it's not a problem. If you didn't want this, you could always mute Voiceover with a 3-finger double tap. If you set Dropvox to record when it opens, you can either place focus on it, then mute Voiceover and then double tap or you can mute Voiceover and use SIRI and tell it to "Open Dropvox". Of course if you manually start recording, you can also mute Voiceover when you are in the app as it is easy to tap the Record and Pause buttons without Voiceover giving you feedback.
Here is the App Store link, the app is $1.99 and fully voiceover accessible which is even stated in the app description: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/dropvox-record-voice-memos/id416288287?mt=8 Regards, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Donald L. Roberts Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2014 7:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Audio recorder recommendations needed I'm wanting people's thoughts about a basic audio recorder. I'll be using the internal mike. Mono is fine. Format is not critical although I would prefer something which could do both .wav and .mp3. Two things are particularly important. First a recorder which can be easily activated, and second, one which can run continuously for perhaps 20 minutes. Am I correct in assuming that regardless of which recorder I use, I must use an external headphone so as to hear voice over? It sticks in my mind that one recorder I tested either muted voice over or severely reduced its volume. I don't mind if I hear voice over during the first few seconds of recording as I plan to mute voice over with a three finger double tap until I am ready to conclude recording. In other words, I won't be starting, stopping and then restarting. Thanks for suggestions. Don Roberts -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
