How to record voice memos on the iPhone 4
The iPhone 4 is really several devices rolled into one. One of those is
the equivalent of a small tape recorder, which allows you to quickly and
easily record voice messages to yourself or for others.
Making voice memos on the iPhone 4 could not be easier. It is even
easier than using one of those micro-cassette recorders that were
popular ten or fifteen years ago. Just turn on your iPhone and tap on
the icon that looks like an old-time studio microphone on a burgundy and
black background. If you have not moved things around too much, it will
be on the home page of your iPhone, along with apps like Messages,
Calendar, and Settings. The icon is shown at the upper left of this
column.
Tap on that icon and when you are ready, tap on the red “Record”
button in the lower left of the iPhone screen. Then just speak in the
direction of either of the iPhone microphones on the top or bottom of
the phone. You don’t need to aim your voice very precisely; the phone is
very good at picking it up. A timer will start running near the top of
the screen, showing how long your recording is. When you press “Record”
and talk, the VU meter shows how loudly you are recording.
You may pause the recording by pressing the “Pause” button which
replaces the “Record” button when you tap it. While recording, you can
also stop recording by tapping the square “Stop” button at the lower
right of the iphone screen. After you have stopped recording, tapping
the little speaker grill in the lower right corner will play your
message back, and also give you access to all of the voice memos on your
phone on the “Voice Memos” screen.
The “Voice Memos” screen allows you to play any other messages you
have recoded, including the last one. You can delete the selected
message from this screen by tapping the “Delete” button at the lower
right. You can also share the selected message via email or MMS by
pressing the “Share” button at the lower left, then selecting which
sharing method you desire and typing in the address information (email
address or telephone number).
Clicking on the arrow at the right of any of your voice memos gives
you access to the message’s “Info” screen, which allows you to trim a
message to get rid of awkward pauses or errors. That “Info” screen also
allows you to share the message in exactly the same way as described
above.
