Thanks Raul, this is really helpful. Yes, while it makes intuitive sense that developers would want to prevent VO chatter from contaminating a recording (and as a user, it is damn beneficial to the end product), it also makes for a very anxious and mysterious user experience, particularly for a relative clutz like me who isn't very intuitive about where the important buttons like "stop" might be hiding in the silence.
Voxie sounds like it's found some clever ways of dealing with this though, so I'll give it a go. I see it costs $6, so I hope it's a good investment! Still open for competition though... And while on the subject, how have people found iphone's inbuilt voice memos as a recorder? -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Raul A. Gallegos Sent: Monday, 16 September 2013 10:55 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Accessible digital voice recorder aps Hi, the reason VO goes seemingly silent is because it helps prevent from it speaking on your recordings. The trouble is that if you don't know where on the screen the stop button is, that can be a bit disconcerting and leave you out at sea with no paddles. Or so it feels that way. So, here is what I recommend. Voxie Pro by Bottle Rocket. This also makes VO go totally quiet, but if you record in express mode, you can shake phone to start and shake once again to stop. Plus a tone is played when it starts and stops recording. Plus, if the shaking isn't working, or you don't want to do that, there is only one button in the middle of the screen, so if VO is silent because it's recording, just touch the middle of the screen once, then double tap like a normal button and the recording will stop. Voxie has the ability to record in 16Khz, 22Khz and 44Khz to make the quality from lowest to highest. You can save the recordings to your computer via iTunes file sharing or via the built-in web browser and get them from your pc browser that way. There are a ton of recording apps, but this one is the first one which comes to mind, and is my favorite. It doesn't have dropbox like some others do, but i still use this one over most on my iPhone 4s. It should work on the 5 just as good. -- Raul A. Gallegos It's all about perspective.
