What Audio Recorder Do You Use on Your iPhone or iPod Touch?

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.

It’s great but not for the ipod Touch. :-/ There’s no mic on the Touch, and app won’t even show up in search results, if you use the Touch. So it shouldnt be part of the title. And you got me all excited! ;p

Yet another reason why I want an iphone. :)

Great show, Chris! Keep up the good work!

never mind. I see now that they mean 2nd generation iPod touch. I have the 1st gen.

iTalk Recorder is not free, exactly. It’s free for a limited time. I’m not sure if that means downloaded copies will stop working, or just stop being available.

What’s with http://gnome.wordpress.com/? It seems to be a spam blog designd to provide links to your real site.

I see that iTalk goes up to 44.1kHz, but does anyone know if it will work with a powered external stereo mic? I’ve seen that the iPod Touch 2 does work with a mic, but I haven’t found if it supports stereo of if there’s any input level adjustments.

Thanks!
