Voice Memos App Tips
The voice recorder iPhone app, Voice Memos, can be helpful for conducting interviews or taking notes. You can even use it to record phone calls. Here are some valuable tips to get the most out of it.
Check your storage: While Voice Memos recordings can technically go for as long as you want, they are restricted by the amount of free space on your device. If needed, you can free up some space. Do a test recording: Before doing an important long-form interview, do a quick 10-second test recording to ensure that everything’s working fine and that background noise isn’t too loud. Use a microphone: You don’t need to use a mic, but connecting one to your iPhone can significantly improve audio quality. Note that you may need a dongle. Back up your recording immediately: As a precaution, it’s a good idea to email yourself a copy of the voice recording as soon as it’s finished or back it up to a cloud service like OneDrive or Google Drive. This way, your essential audio won’t be lost if you lose or break your iPhone.
