Hi
Android is seriously lacking a good audio recording program. I have been using android for a few month now and it rocks. However, there are experiences that I have had with WINMO that have been better, in the recording program department especially.
The program I used while with WINMO was VITO audionotes. Hands down the best recorder because the quality was perfect, the interface was simple, and it brought my first experience with kinetic scrolling to winmo.
Currently, I am using another awesome program but on android now called Tape-talk, (TAT). It does everything that Audio notes does except one thing, record in mp3 format. TAT only records in either wav or 3gp. This is a big gripe because the files I record are often church services that call for details to be added to ID3 tags. Being unable to tag the files is one thing but the also most droid player refuse to equalize any files that are not mp3.
I have been searching on my own for well before I even joined the droid community and its time to let the community help me. Is there a voice recorder with perfect recording quality and records in mp3?
edit: It will not let me post links to those program, guess I am not active enough on the forums.
Have you tried evernote.? It has tags and you can record audio. It sends the notes to the cloud and allows sharing. Records in amr format.

Still an issue
Hi this is still an issue for me with the streak. Does anyone know of a voice recorder that records in mp3 format? Currently I use tape a talk, which records in wav. and the recordings are not the greatest quality.
I use Hertz(records in WAV) on the market and am satisfied with the quality.
I've been using Hi-Q MP3 Recorder and the sound is crystal clear. I recorded some beatboxing and it sounds great!

I was recording some video today. Then I went to play it back... and OH GOD THE NOISE. I felt my ears were being abused. I looked at the properties of the video file... It's recording the audio track with AMR_NB at 62kpbs and 16khz!? WTF!
Is there anything I can do to fix this? 62kbps 16khz is pretty abysmal... What good is gorgeous 1080p video when it sounds terrible?
I checked the media_profiles.xml file, the device supports recording to AAC at 44.1khz, and a bitrate of 128kbps, so why can't I enable this?
Also, recording through "Tape Machine Lite" (free on the market) sounds great, and does indeed record at 44.1khz, and a bitrate of 708kbps O) so it's definitely possible. The in built voice recorder however recorded at a crummy 16Khz.
TL: DR- Sound recording quality in video recorder is bad, but recording via external app appears to be good, indicating the mic is capable of the task. Is there any way to force the video to record with the good quality?

Dictadroid - new voice recorder app
Hi,
I stumbled across this post and wanted to mention that there is a new app available on the Android Market called Dictadroid.
I developed Dictadroid with the goal of making a simple but powerful voice recorder. Although the initial version saves the recordings as WAV files. The future version will support compressed audio formats, such as AAC, MP3, etc.
Please download Dictadroid and let me know what you think. You feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Boris
Hi, this is still an issue, recording in mp3 format with good quality has not happened with the streak yet. I use tape a talk but its on its last legs. I was thinking of buying an external mic for the quality issue but i still need records in mp3 format. Any help?

Thanks for your work. I tested probably 15 recorders and stuck with dictadroid and it has served me well. Props!
Hi people!
after 3 days loosing all days and nights of good sleep, I finaly did!
Finaly, I edited SoundRecorder, the standard recorder app of xperia x10 mini, xperia mini, and some others devices, to record audio in AAC encoder, with 16 bit encoding and 22khz of sample rate!
The difficult thing for me was to learn java and object orientation to do this (believe, I'm dumb with these 2 things )
Well, here I go.
First, I watched this video to learned how to get started:
Then, I downloaded the source code from this site:
http://gitorious.org/0xdroid/packag...rees/cefd3e81da22167a56c89a8794c9b8dfe67a7673
and using androids developer's home page and oracle's man page, I could correct some erros, and recompile the APK.
Finaly, here is the project if you would like to improve the program , which I will do in the future to add some functions like choose sample rate, container, and codecs, and in the folder bin you find the APP
To install, you can use eclipse, connecting your phone to your computer through usb and hit run android app or use this program:
APK Edit v0.4, allows you to edit your apk file
That is it!
Thanks and, please, comment!
Nice job buddy....... i envy yur courage!
Nice try mate Btw actually i am searching for stereo recording app, since if i use usual app from market, the sound quality is not good. But if you know about Video recording on Xperia 2011 devices, you know the quality is much better (unfortunately i don't want the video, just sound). Can you achieve that
Thanks whalesplaho!
hansip87, I think its possible...
At the developers page, I remember of some codes to choose stereo in instead of mono...
I left mono because I tought: since the source is a microphone, stereo will not work and the file will be bigger for nothing
anyway, I will take a look and try to compile it with stereo record... when its done, you will can download it from here
Here it is!
Now with:
Sampling Rate 44100Hz
Audio Encoding BitRate 128kbps
Audio Channels 2 (stereo)
Audio Encoder AAC
Output File .3gpp
Attention: with this configuration, your file grows 16KB/s... a file with 1 minute has 960KB aprox.
and now you can launch the app direct, without need other app
Can I install it using root explorer???
sent from my Walkman
I think you can...
I've improved the app... Added a menu to select sample rate, bit rate and channels..
Next week I'll make a menu to show the configurations choice...

When I try to listen to what I recorded, I can't listen to it, it seems to be a codec faliure, or a problem accessing SD card, I would recommend you to add mp3 codec to record, its a more standarized format and maybe a built in player will do a nice app, sure it will sell @ android market Nice one budd!
There are two additional apps for lecture notes. One called videos and another called recording (or something) which is just for audio. If I got the video app would it have the same functionality as the recording app?
Whats the difference?

It seems like the video app lets you record yourself writing and play it back as a video: "It has been designed while having a user at university (or at school) in mind, for instance a lecturer who is using it for producing tutorial videos or for recording her/his lecture while teaching using LectureNotes (by writing on the device and projecting the screen content for the audience) or a student who is using it to prepare tutorial videos for fellow students."
I am using lecturenotes plus the audio app. It records as you write and if you zoom in on text will follow along where you were writing at the time of when things are spoken. It's really nice and I highly recommend it as an addition to LectureNotes.

I meant how is the audio functionality in the video extension different from the audio functionality of the audio extension? Is getting the video the same thing as getting the audio + video?
@gina$zanboti: LectureRecordings records/replays audio together with notebook fokus, LectureVideos is a screencast extension that records display content (i.e. the process of writing) together with audio. A random example of the latter is www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul_H1F2kaRg. In some sense, the functionality of LectureVideos encloses that of LectureRecordings, as you can also record audio with it.

With the video extension can you record audio without video? IE create a voice memo type of thing.
@gina$zanboti: With LectureVideos, the display content is always recorded, so it is somewhat like recording a voice memo with a video camera; it works, but it is not the purpose of the extension. For voice memos, LectureRecordings is better suited.
Does anyone know if the microphone for the samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition record audio in stereo? I just recorded 2 lectures and when I replay, sound comes from one speaker rather than 2. I didn't have this problem with the old note. I assume its because the microphone is recording mono, is there any way to change microphone settings to stereo?
@jaztech: Are you referring to the speakers of the Note 10.1? Have you checked that other audio sources replay in both speakers?

Hi acadoid,
Both my speakers work for playing regular audio on everything (google play music, samsung's music player, youtube etc... I even downloaded another audio voice recorder to see if the microphone would record in stereo and it did. The mono one speaker audio recording seems to be localized to LectureNotes.
@jaztech: Both LectureRecordings and LectureVideos request recording with two channels, it seems that the Android media recorder ignores that. Do you have the possibility to test an external stereo microphone?

No unfortunately I don't have one.
Hey guys
total noob here. I was wondering how difficult it would be to alter the google recorder app so that it just transcribed in real time without saving audio?
Or does anyone know of any equivalent software that transcribes audio in real time without recording? I work in an industry where if something is recorded you have to keep that recording for 7 years which is an absolute pain in the ass (ie I can't legally just delete a recording if I make it) but I would love to be able to get a gist of meetings etc with the transcriptions
