Hi, Any program which can record in MP3 format can do this. How large the file is depends entirely on the quality, in the case of MP3 this means the bitrate used. This file uses only 64 Kbps which is half of the minimum I would recommend for ripping music. I think FM Radio is about equal to 96 Kbps so while this may sound good for just a voice recording, it’s still a pretty low quality recording in absolute terms. You can calculate the file size of am MP3 file if you know the bitrate and recording length as follows:
Time in seconds * Bitrate divided by 8 multiplied by 1,024 In the case of this recording the length is 28 minutes and 57 seconds which is 1,737 seconds The bitrate used is 64 Kbps, the calculation is as follows: 1,737 * 64 = 111,168, divide by 8 = 13,896, divide that again by 1,024 (the number of bytes in a Megabyte) and you get 13.57 Nb Windows reports the file size as 13,575 Kb which is 13,575 Mb so the calculation is pretty close. If they had used a sample rate of 128 Kbps the file size would be double at 27.15 Mb Regards, Sieghard From: 'Marcio' via VIPhone <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Saturday, April 20, 2019 1:32 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Interview with the woman who is the Siri voice Indeed, quite interesting! I've downloaded both files and will listen to it when I have the time. One thing I noticed is that while these are 28 minutes or so recordings, the file is really small compared to the time! And, though this list is focused on phones, please let me just ask it: does anyone know about a good way to record with this good quality and don't take up much space? Any help will be appreciated. If someone is willing to help and wants to do it off-list, feel free to email me privately marcinhor...@yahoo.com.br<mailto:marcinhor...@yahoo.com.br> Cheers, Marcio AKA Starboy Sent from a galaxy far, far away.

I’m pasting the link below for this week’s podcast. They also reference a previous podcast where someone from Nuance explains how they convert human speech into the computerized voices we use, which is the second link pasted below.
