Recordings Made Quick and Easy

Sometimes you’re not interested in all the bells, whistles, and fancy features. Sometimes you’re looking for an app that does the job quickly and easily, which is exactly what the iTalk Recorder does. As mentioned you start and stop recording in the same way: by pressing the big red button that can’t be missed.

For me it’s the simplicity of this app that makes it just so perfect. When you launch the app you are automatically able to start a recording. Give your recording a title and press the button to begin. At any time during the recording you can stop and restart, and you can do this as often as you like. There are three different qualities of recording to choose from; these refer to the sound quality. Choose from good, better, or best. I must say I have been using the "good" quality and find it to be incredibly clear and crisp.

When you finish your recording you can view it in your main menu, add notes to it, see the length, and share it through iTunes. If you'd rather, you can email the recording.

Who It's Meant For

This app can be used by virtually anyone. Students can record study notes, use it for business purposes, create your shopping list, make note of errands you want to do, and even record your baby making those adorable sounds you want to share with Grandma and Grandpa. There are no limits as to what this app can be used for. Because the sound quality is so good you know you can count on it to capture what it is your want captured.

Additional features include auto-noise cancelation (for the iPhone 4) and a built-in search function that will let you quickly find a file by its name. In your menu of recordings you can view the time it was recorded so as to help you locate files.

The user interface is sleek and uncluttered and helps to create the whole atmosphere of simplicity that this app strives for.
