Voice Recorder & Voice Memos

Record voice notes and longer audio

Voice Recorder & Voice Memos is an Android audio recorder for capturing spoken notes, lectures, meetings, interviews, rehearsal ideas and other everyday sound. It suits students, office users, musicians and anyone who wants more control than a basic phone recorder provides. Recordings can continue with the screen off or while another app is open, which is useful when you need to put the phone away during a talk or discussion.

Formats and recording controls

The app supports MP3, AAC, M4A and AMR output, giving you a choice between broadly compatible files and more storage-conscious recording. Mono and stereo options are available, and the app can work with an external microphone where the device supports one. That makes it suitable for quick voice memos as well as simple music demos, spoken content and podcast drafts.

Find important moments quickly

Time-stamped markers can be added while recording, so key sections are easier to return to during playback. This is helpful for marking a question in an interview, an important point in a lecture or a particular take in a rehearsal. A built-in cutter also lets you trim a recording and keep a shorter clip without moving to a separate editor. Sorting and tagging tools help keep a larger collection of audio notes manageable.
