Voice Recorder Pro

Abstract

Voice Recorder Pro is an Android audio recorder for voice notes, interviews, meetings, lectures, rehearsals and other everyday recordings. It suits users who want more control than a basic dictaphone, including choices for file format, audio quality, storage location and playback.

Recording options

The app records in MP3, WAV, AAC/M4A or AMR, with selectable sample rates from phone quality through CD quality and bitrates from 32 to 320 kbps. Mono and stereo recording are supported, and a live spectrum display provides a visual indication that sound is being captured. Recordings can continue with the screen off or while the app is in the background.

• Choose the recording folder and audio source.
• Start recordings automatically when required.
• Stop recording when storage runs out or an active call begins.
• Use the optional phone-call source with caution: it is not a dedicated call recorder and results vary by device.

Managing recordings

A built-in player handles playback with volume control, while recordings can be renamed, deleted, sorted by date, name, size or duration, and saved to the Android media library. Files can be shared with other apps or sent by email, and the “open with” option allows editing or playback elsewhere. Multiple files can be selected for batch sharing or deletion.

• Set a recording as a ringtone, alarm or notification sound.
• Use the widget and status-bar controls for quicker access.
• See recording or playback activity through a notification LED on supported devices.

Scale and suitability

Voice Recorder Pro is made by Splend Apps and is listed in Music & Audio. Its 4.74 rating from more than 1.3 million reviews and 100,000,000+ installs indicate broad use, though recording quality still depends on the phone’s microphones and available storage. It is a practical choice for general-purpose recording rather than specialised studio work.
