Six apps which use your phone's mic in the best way
While we mostly use phones
as com mu nic ation devices, t he role of voice has been diminished by the
arrival of data. Yet, because of the smartphones, there are new avenues to use
your mic. Here are some interesting apps for voice recording:
Anchor
Always wanted your podcast?
Or want to just gripe about your daily life and let people listen to it? Anchor
is a great platform to start with. Started as an iOS app it allows you to
record two-minute clips and publish it to the world.Anchor works as a hosting
platform as well, so you can categorise your recording and slot it in a
particular genre. It also allows you to add effects to the sound and maintain
the `conversational' nature. The app also allows a user to post responses in
voice form.
Roger
One of the most famous
terms in the walkie-talkie language is now an app and acts exactly like the
popular devices. You need to press to talk and press to listen. You can make a
group of family and friends and send voice notes for them to hear. The company
is also working on integration with Slack, Dropbox, Facebook, Soundcloud and
Twitter to send voice notes to these apps.
Voice ME
This is a voice changer app
where you can record any sound clip in various transformative voices and send
it to your friends. Effects include chipmunk, sound motion, ghost and more.
This is an iPhone-only app. If you are an Android user you can check out an app
called `Voice changer with effects' from Baviux.
Speechnotes
This is one of the simplest
tools for converting voice to text. There are options for over 40 languages in
the online tool, which works on the browser. It also picks up the Indian accent
pretty well. Speechnotes also has an Android app. The app also runs a paid
service where it transcribes audio files.
Recorder
This iOS voice recording
app is for daily journaling. It gives you a new prompt every day so you can
record a short clip. One of the best features of the app is that you can get a
transcript of your recording automatically. It identifies the words you are
saying and makes a transcript while the recording is going on.
Just press record
If you live in the Apple
world, this is one of the best recording apps to use. The interface is simple,
you just have to press record to start saving the voice file. And the best
thing is that if the voice memo is saved on one Apple device, it automatically
syncs across all your other devices such as Mac and iPad. It also has support
for Apple Watch.
