Re: Audio recorder recommendations needed
I completely understand issue #2, as the FreeTech guy you would be surprised at the amount of time I have to spend correcting blind computer users understanding of how computer and software works. I hate to say it, but along with the great info, many of these lists disseminate lots of incorrect and at times very crazy information, and people don't bother to verify for themselves, so they go on parroting what they read. This is of course a variation of "I read it on the internet." .

Hi Neal, agreed, I've been using ClearRecord for four years now and it's been rock solid. I've recorded my kids' concerts, interviews, and all kinds of material and it's worked flawlessly for me in uncompressed .wav format.

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".

In the past, DropVox has not been noted for it's good audio quality. However, they certainly took care of that. It sounds very nice now. Of course, MP3 is a compressed file, so if you want to edit it, you will have to uncompress it and if you then want to save it as another MP3 file, it will be the second time it is compressed.
