Back before I started live streaming, I did a few hours’ worth of audio streaming each week. It’s a stark contrast from doing live video stream, for sure. There have been many times I’ve been out and about, and wished I could easily record an audio file of my thoughts at the time.

WAY more than a “voice recorder”… whether you just want to recall a conversation later, or are serious about capturing the sounds around you, Griffin iTalk is the app you need for your iPhone or 2nd gen iPod touch. Your recordings are saved for replay on your iPhone or iPod, and you can use iTalk Sync (a free download) to drag-and-drop them as high-quality AIFF files to your computer over a Wi-Fi connection. User-centric features include: – Choose from Good/Better/Best quality levels. – Pause/resume and append to existing recordings on the fly. – Append text notes to your recordings for later reference. – The one-button recording interface is designed for quick, easy operation in the field, and simple management of your recordings. Need to add a mic? Griffin has updated its TuneBuds Mobile and SmartTalk headset solutions to complement iTalk and provide a complete recording solution. (These devices also work with the built-in voice memo abilities of 4th generation iPod nano, and iPod classic 120GB.) iTalk System Requirements: iPhone, iPhone 3G, or 2nd generation iPod Touch Wi-Fi connection for transfer of files to computer (iTalk Sync is available for Mac OS 10.4.11+ and will be available for Windows very soon) External microphone is needed for recording with 2nd gen iPod touch

If you want to record audio at any level of quality, don’t phone it in. It sounds bad. If you have a low-quality audio recording, I can’t deal with that. Get iTalk, and get going!

Back before I started live streaming, I did a few hours’ worth of audio streaming each week. It’s a stark contrast from doing live video stream, for sure. There have been many times I’ve been out and about, and wished I could easily record an audio file of my thoughts at the time. I’ve tried phone-in services before, but the audio quality has always been bad with them. There may be times that I run into someone, and want to interview them. So, I took a tour through the iTunes AppStore, to try and find something that would work well on my iPhone.

I was looking for something that would allow me to control my audio quality, where I could get a good readout, and an easy way to transfer the audio recordings to my computer. After reading reviews and scouring for a bit, I found a free app that is working perfectly. I came up with iTalk Recorder.

iTalk’s uncomplicated user interface lets you start/stop, choose Good/Better/Best sample rates, and manage the list of your recordings, all with just one finger.

Run iTalk Recorder to record on your iPhone. Run iTalk Sync on your computer to transfer your recordings from your iPhone to your computer via Wi-Fi. Your recordings are saved as AIFF files. Specifications include:

• High-quality handheld recording using your iPhone or 2nd-generation iPod touch.
• Easy, convenient user interface and controls.
• Drag & drop wireless file transfers to your computer.
• User-selectable 11.025 kHz, 22.05 kHz, or 44.10 kHz sample rates.

The desktop portion is clean, which I love. It reads the information on my iPhone, and allows me to easily transfer my files. If you want to record audio, don’t phone it in. It sounds bad. If it’s a low-quality audio recording, I won’t even listen… just like most people won’t. You can use this free app for anything. You can take your own dictation, record your thoughts, or even do an on-the-spot interview. This is an excellent app, and I’ll definitely be using it often.
