I just got my new galaxy note (i717) on friday (immediately flashing it with OnlyOne beta 2 (ics)) and I would like to use it for a bit of podcasting using the front camera to record myself while I read text from some teleprompter software.
I can record video from the front camera just fine, and it actually comes out a bit higher quality than I expected even, but for the life of me, when i hit the record button and then switch away from the camera app to the prompter app, it gives me an audio notification that the camera has stopped recording.
is there prompter software that has an integrated video recorder? (that'd be pretty sweet imho) or better, some way to record video while another app (that's not particularly resource intensive) is in use? - I don't mind trimming and cutting the video together (there are actually some pretty decent editing tools for android i've found) but I can't figure out a way to record and prompt at the same time...
does anybody have any ideas?
I'm rather surprised that nobody seems to have any ideas on this... could someone at least please relay to me why this isn't possible (if it's not possible)?
I would think that this would be a reasonably popular thing to do (recording video whilst looking at a prompter or even a web page or something to do podcasting stuff...
Is this something I'm going to have to write? (I have no idea how to dev android apps).
well i'm glad to see that google does a good job at finding appropriate threads - here it is, a couple of months later, and I'm revisiting the same problem that I had before - I still can't record and prompt at the same time on my i717 (now running cm9 / cm10, not that it should matter)... I still don't get it.
i don't know what to say , u searched a program on google?i believe that is here at least 1 program for your note
Video app with built in teleprompter
There is a great teleprompter/video recording app. It's called VRT2. Unfortunately you would have to downgrade to an iPad to get it. When I saw it, I was tempted o make the switch, but I don't want to give up the advanced features of my Samsung Note 10.
I'm hoping that a great Android app developer will create something like the VRT2 soon.
When it's ready, I'm ready to buy it.
I still can't seem to find anything that does this and it would be *great* for quick video podcasting... I just want to be able to record myself on the front camera while either reading my notes or looking at a teleprompter with the outline i've created for the segment.
Video recorder teleprompter
Have you found any other software to video you with front facing camera with teleprompter on screen?
I know Ipad have one on itunes costing somewhere 24 dollars or £18 which is a professional one, not tried it but I now it does record you and at the same time has all the words you want to talk about in front of you.
Keep up to date, I don't know which tablet to buy because of this problem.

when i try and record audio (mp3s) with my streak the result comes out high pitched. the stock sound recorder quality isnt very good. I have been trying out mp3/wav recorders form the market.
it almost seems to be a sampling issue.....but the recorders bit rates are all set right.....cd quality, etc....
any ideas?..... is there something i need to change....?
also.....i installed cleartune......and to make it work right i had to make it transpose to D and set A=427Hz.....i installed another tuner called "datuner"....it works fine....
very frustrating cause im a band director and really need to record things on the fly.....but not high pitched.....?
Rehearsal Assitant - can't comment on using for high quality recordings, but works for voice for me.
cool....ty ...
tried it.....rehearsal assistant still uses a lower bitrate when recording. .wav recording doest work at all....it looks like it is recording but is not......and the files will close and crash the player...
i need a solution to record at high bitrates.
man.... i have tried i think every recording program on the market..... the only one that would record at 44.1k was "Livo Recorder"..... it will record .wavs that sound ok...but at 5-10 Mb/min.... .wavs are just way too big to use and email....
all the .mp3/other recorders would record but the files came out sounding like they were being played in a slow fast forward...
this is very frustrating..... is it the streak?....is it android 2.2?
i need this to work.... i need to record stuff all the time....and .3gp at 8k is not going to work for concert band recordings....the end result is too muddy sounding.....i dont record to keep...only for review... it is an essential aid when working my band
any ideas?.....and thank you for your help
Recordings are horrible!?!? Would love to find an anwser too
I have had the same issue and I would love to know what can be done. I have tried contacting the developers of various recording apps, but get no response from any???
im sure a lot of other streak cats and maybe some android users in general are having the same problem...
this is a real bummer for me actually.....this could be a serious deal buster for me...i may have to go back to my iphone i bought the streak as an upgrade to my jailbroken iphone 3gs.... iphone sucks but at least it does what it is supposed to do...and yes to make an iphone bearable you really should jailbreak it.....
i also had to root my streak to fix several other issues as well.....lol.... i had to "jail break" my streak....lol...
like the tuner issue im having....being a band director i NEED a tuner...it is a must have....i know i could just use a dedicated pocket tuner, but..... the point is that something is totally not working right in the streak or android....being able to record these days at CD quality should be a no-brainer to developers and/or hardware developers..... i was recording cd quality back in 2001 on my sx-66(the original XDA phone...) pocket pc phone....lol....
anyway,......any ideas?
anyone else having these issues?..... have you found something that works?
Maybe list the recorders you've already tried, so someone doesn't repeat. I've been using pcm recorder for voice recognition (naturallyspeaking), but of course that's only wav. Probably the difficulty lies in the licensing required for creating mp3's.
Would ogg recording do?
I'm taking a week of classes for work and would like to record the lectures (it is allowed) on video. While recording, I want to supplement the video with handwritten notes where appropriate. Has anyone seen an app that allows you to take notes that synchs with the video?
Thanks -
I too am in search of the perfect solution for taking lecture notes/audio/video. I've spent the last two days reading, searching, and testing apps. So far the best solution I have found is an app that will let me record audio while typing text notes (although my ATP's mic is terrible). The only solution I could come up with is to record video from my Razr and stitch the notes and video together after the class in Evernote or something similar.
I read at some point in the past two days about ICS not allowing the camera to operate in the background while using another app or when the screen turns off (tablet sleeps). I got burned on an app purchase because of this. The dev said it would still record while I did other things because the app ran as a "service". It didn't... cam stream would shut down if app wasn't active on the screen and it never would record to SD. I'm not going to name-and-shame the app here, but it seems we're both SOL for the moment. I'd sell a kidney to have an app that would allow video, external mic audio, and typed notes at the same time.
I have no idea if this will work or not, but it's worth a shot for you guys wanting this.
This is my idea:
Install "OverSkreen Browser", it's basicly an internet browser that works like a browser does on a PC, it adds a layer on top of the screen where the browser is in. So you can launch (for example) Youtube app, and have the OverSkreen browser sit on top of the YouTube app, being able to interact with both of the apps.
I do not know if this also works with the camera, but try it out
Just install the browser, set it up, launch the browser, click on home, launch the camera, press recent apps (or click the notification that comes up with overskreen browser) and click on it.
That would possibly allow you to record while also being able to take note in for example Google Docs.

Well... the good news is that the Overskreen browser actually worked. I could successfully record 720p HD video in the background while running Evernote in the Overskreen browser.
The bad news is that the web version of Evernote sucks equally well in both the stock browser and Overskreen. I will have to find another web-based note taking solution if I'm going to solve my video recording problem while taking notes. Perhaps I might try Google Docs or SpringPad. SpringPad's new interface for taking lecture notes just doesn't look like it will work though.... since it's been Pinterest-ified.
On a side note, I was able to use Gmail successfully while recording 720p video in the background using Overskreen with minimal input lag... so there is hope.
Any other suggestions on quality web-based note taking apps?
I'm one of those "flash everything and give it a try" kind of guy. I like to try everything out and see what works for me.
The one thing that I've been longing for in every ROM I try is the perfect camera app. I h8 the stock Sammy one. (can't map volume rockers as shutter). Any other camera app that I like doesn't do video. (I usually use Pro Capture). I do like Camera ICS+, but I don't like the fact that it records video in 3gp. I know, I know...I can use a converter app to change to mp4 after the fact, but what can I say? I'm a *****. I want it the way I want it.
The best cam app for me so far is the one running on the CM9 ROMs.
I extracted the apk and tried installing it. It runs fine, BUT......it doesn't save the video. It makes like it's recording, but after I stop recording, it's not saved anywhere.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks a million!
PS: before anyone says "Just stick with one of the CM9 ROMs then!"....the reason is that I've found a particular ROM that I keep coming back to that I really dig the battery life on.
Hello everyone,
So like many of you I picked up an HP TouchPad when they were on sale. I gave the TouchPad to my Grandma. I figured it would be worth it alone for just using it as an interactive photo frame. With 32GB of space to spare I even put some QuickTime videos converted from home video VHS tapes.
While it works well for that, the organization of the Photo program on WebOS isn't the best. Viewing photos and albums isn't as simple as I thought it may be. So I started looking at some other options as far as alternative OS for the TouchPad. It looks like Android seems to be running quite well on the device (from what I've seen). So I was wondering if any of you could suggest a build / type of Android install I should attempt to use?
My needs are simple. I would like a nicer Photo Management software (if available with video playback for QuickTime / MPEG-4 files) and working Wi-Fi The ability to have multiple icons on a home screen is good. It makes it easier for her to select what she wants to do. Is there an option to make a keyboard larger? Or is there any font options to make things larger? She'll be 93 this month, and although her vision is pretty good, she can use all the help she can get.
Skype would be nice, but from what I understand camera and microphone compatibility is limited. Of course I'd like it to be as stable as possible. I haven't looked at her TouchPad in a bit, I'll see if there are any WebOS updates before continuing. But I'm curious as to what is out there to make this tablet a bit easier to use.
Thank you in advance for your help!

The CM9 builds are very stable and extremely usable. Try the nightly builds for good wifi. Also, the latest nightlies have working mic, though not camera.
There are tons of photo managers and video players on the Google Play Store; I like QuickPic for photos, but I don't watch a lot of videos.
The default homescreen has multiple icons.
There is an option for larger font in Settings -> Accessibility -> Large Text.
Several 3rd-party keyboards allow you to change the size of the keyboard. For example, I use SwiftKey, and it has 4 sizes. It is paid, though.
Hey there,
as you probably know, it's forbidden by google to include a function to an app to record the internal sound. That's the reason why all audio/video-recorder-apps (like AZ Screen Recorder) only allow to record the microphone(s).
Is there anyway a solution to record the internal sound, for example with a cable? But only the digital way via USB(-C) and not the analog way with the phone jack which causes side noises! Do I need a special OTG-Cable?
If I connect the original USB-C-Cable to my pc nothing happens really.
In the dev options in the android settings I can de/activate the usb-audiorouting (but I can see no changes)
I also can choose 'audiosource' in the usb-config. If I plugin then to my computer, there is no new 'microphone' in the audio settings. In the device manager the BLA-L29 is listed, but the drivers are marked as corrupt.
Can somebody help me to finally have the power to record the internal sound? Thank you!
Perhaps try a Bluetooth recorder? I came across this after a 5-second web search; I'm sure that with a little more effort you could find many more varieties.

Well, maybe you invest next time 5 seconds more on reading my question(s). Your reply is nothing I've asked for.
And I already searched HOURS for a good solution, but without success so far.

If the answers you're getting aren't to your liking, you're obviously asking the wrong question. Good luck.

Nope. Troll somewhere else, thank you.
Update: Huawei Mate 10 Pro Screen Record with Audio
Hi
I'm a Streamer and mobile Gamer, Just updated to Official Stable Android 9 on my Mate 10 pro and they actually provided a new screen recorder that can record internal audio but..
Here is the issue i'm facing :
1) When using the screen recording app and i turn the microphone off i'm able to record system sounds on any app and while its recording ,however the speaker sound is turned off so you wont hear anything until you stop the screen record. Also if you enable the mic the screen recorder app will record audio from your mic
I hope this could help Devs to take a close look at this , all we want is that to use a screen recorder which records System audio and mic just like the IPhone to allow us to stream our games to platforms like Youtube, Facebook, Twitch, Omlet Arcade without buying a IPhone .
I understand google bans devs from accessing this API : Internal Audio, but what if Huawei just develop a app like Samsung Game Launcher where only games and Streaming apps like Twitch, Youtube, Facebook Live, Omlet Arcade are allowed to access the Internet Audio Recording Function?
And BTW to all those trolls , we not requesting bloatware its a just a simple screen recorder or a Gaming Suite/Launcher app for our Mobile Gaming Community
Regards
