Instructions

If the recorder is digital, connect it to the USB port of your computer. Perhaps it is like a regular flash drive, then find a folder with voice recordings in its file system and move it to the desired location on the computer’s hard drive. Such a voice recorder will work correctly in Linux. If it is recognized as a special device that requires drivers, you will have to use a Windows computer. Drivers must be downloaded from the manufacturer's website or installed from the disc included with the recorder.

If there is no digital USB port and you have a memory card, insert the latter into the card reader. Transfer files from the card to your computer as you would from a regular flash drive.

Some digital voice recorders do not save recordings in the standard MP3, WMA or OGG format, but in a format adapted for efficient speech compression. To listen to such files on your computer, install a transcoding program located on the same disk or also on the manufacturer’s website. Unlike drivers, such a program does not access I/O devices, and therefore will most likely run on Linux if you have the Wine emulator. To eliminate the need for recoding in the future, try to find an item in the voice recorder menu that allows you to switch the file format to standard.

Transferring recordings made on an analog voice recorder to a computer is a lengthy process, comparable in duration to making the recording itself. To do this, connect the device to the sound card input with a special cable. Turn on the corresponding input in the mixer program, adjust its sensitivity, as well as the volume on the recorder itself to minimize distortion. Turn on playback on the recorder, and record on your computer using Audacity or a similar program. Export the result to an MP3 file.

note

Before disconnecting the recorder or card reader from the computer, safely remove the device using the OS.

After you have made a recording using a voice recorder, you need to transfer it to your computer. The method of such transfer depends on the device model. In some cases it takes only a few moments, and sometimes it lasts as long as the recording itself lasted.

Instructions

Digital to transfer files to a computer, you first need to connect the included cable to a USB port. If necessary, manually switch it to connection mode with a computer (how to do this is described in the instruction manual).

If the device is recognized as a flash drive, simply transfer the data from it to the folder you need on your computer’s hard drive. This can be done on both Linux and Windows. You can find out in which folder the sound files are located in the recorder itself from its instructions.

If the voice recorder is not recognized as a flash drive, a special program is needed. Unfortunately, it may not work on Linux even if you have a Wine emulator. You can download a program for working with the voice recorder either on the manufacturer’s website or on the disk included with the device.

Your next steps depend on the file format. If the recorder records sound in one of the generally accepted formats (Vorbis OGG, MP3, WMA), you can listen to the recordings without re-encoding. AMR format files, if you do not have a player program for them, can be listened to by transferring them to your cell phone. If the device uses a special format developed by its manufacturer, you will have to use a conversion program. It can also be obtained either from the manufacturer’s website or on the disc included with the recorder. Most transcoding programs are not only for Windows, but also for Linux if you have a Wine emulator.

In some x (in particular, cassette) there is no possibility of connecting to a USB port at all. It will have to be connected to the sound card, and the dubbing process will be lengthy. To do this, solder a cable consisting of two jack plugs with a diameter of 3.5 millimeters. Connect their contacts of the same name to each other. To avoid interference, it is advisable to make the cable short, no longer than half a meter. Connect one of the plugs to the voice recorder output intended for headphones, the other to the linear input of the sound card.

On your computer, launch the mixer program (how to do this depends on the operating system). Turn on the linear input in this program and set the corresponding control to maximum. On the recorder, set the volume to minimum. Start playback and then slowly increase the volume until distortion appears. After that, reduce it slightly so that the distortion disappears.

Launch Audacity on your computer. If you have Linux installed, you most likely already have it. Windows users will have to download this program from the following site:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/

At the same time, turn on playback on the recorder (if it is a cassette recorder, after rewinding the tape to the beginning), and in the Audacity program - record. When dubbing is finished, stop playback on the recorder and recording on the computer, and then save the audio file.

A recording file made by a phone program can be recorded into a voice recorder, provided that the formats fully match. You can also use various converters for conversion. For information about the formats supported by the voice recorder, please refer to the user manual.

You will need

  • - telephone;
  • - Dictaphone;
  • - converter;
  • - Software for a mobile device.

Instructions

Record an audio file in your phone's software. Give it a specific name and save it in the memory of your mobile device or flash card. Connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable or Bluetooth wireless connection. Pair your devices to share files, then proceed depending on which phone memory module contains the recording you need.

If the voice recording is stored on your phone's memory card, connect the devices in "Storage" mode and open the contents by folder in the startup tool or through the "My Computer" menu. Find the recording and copy it to your computer's hard drive.

If the recording file is in the phone's memory, launch the software and select PC Suite mode in the selection of connection methods. Open the file browser in your mobile device software utility and then navigate to the recording file storage directory on your phone. Right-click on the desired item and copy it to your computer’s hard drive.

If the file extension of the recording made by your mobile device is not supported by the voice recorder, download and install on your computer a converter program that works with this type of audio recording. After this, convert to a format supported by the voice recorder, connect the device to the computer and copy the resulting recording into the voice recorder’s memory.

If you cannot find the conversion program, check the software of your mobile device and voice recorder for a utility that performs this action independently. Also look for a converter on the official website of the voice recorder manufacturer and, if possible, save recordings to mp3.

Use standard converters.

The voice recorder has long ceased to be a tool exclusively for journalists. This convenient device is used by students and schoolchildren, secretaries and representatives of many other professions. You can buy a voice recorder in any audio equipment department. You can listen to the recording on the device itself. But it’s more convenient to transfer the recording to a computer

If a recording of a speech or report made using a voice recorder is transferred to a computer, it can be sent by e-mail to all conference participants. In addition, when retyping the text of a speech on the keyboard, you will not have to wear out the mechanism of the analog voice recorder by constant rewinding.

  • The Voice Recorder application is present in the set of standard programs of any Apple iPhone, from the very first models to the more modern ones - 4, 4S. Most likely, the gentleman's set of subsequent versions of iOS will also be equipped with this, sometimes useful, application. I think there’s no point in talking about the step-by-step operation of recording voice notes, I pressed the red button and the recording started, but let’s talk about how to download voice recorder recordings from iPhone some users do not know how to connect to the computer and find their location.

    Before we look at the procedure for downloading voice recordings from an iPhone, I would like to talk about one feature of the Voice Recorder program. The fact is that on an iPhone you won’t be able to record a telephone conversation using a standard voice recorder, so you won’t be able to play Bond by recording the voice of the caller on the other end of the line using standard means. Thus, Apple does not violate the rights of the interlocutor.

    Now on topic, there are two official ways to download voice recorder recordings from an iPhone to a computer - using synchronization in iTunes or you can transfer the recordings by email.

    Sync voice recorder recordings to iTunes
    This method of copying recordings from an iPhone voice recorder to a computer is possible with the help of a USB cable.

    1. Launch iTunes and . Click on the phone that appears in the “Devices” section

    2. In the “Browse” tab, check the “Process music and video manually” checkbox


    3. Then, in the “Music” tab, put the markers: “Synchronize music” and “Include voice recordings.” Click the “Apply” button to start synchronization.


    4. Synchronization will help you download voice recorder recordings from your iPhone and they will appear in iTunes in the “Music” section


    Downloaded voice recorder recordings are also displayed in the “Voice recordings” section, located in playlists or in devices. You can listen to them here


    5. If you want to rewrite downloaded recordings to Flash, you will have to find them on your computer, this is easy to do - right-click on the recordings, select “Show in Windows Explorer” (depending on the OS version, this item may sound a little different) and it will open folder with your notes.

    If you don’t have a computer or iTunes at hand, but you urgently need the recordings, you can use the second method, using email.

    Send voice recorder from iPhone by mail
    In order to transfer voice recordings from a phone via email, we will need to make a recording using the Voice Recorder application. Then we perform the following steps:


    1. Click on the button with three horizontal stripes
    2. Select the voice recording you need and press the blue arrow button
    3. Select “E-mail”, enter the recipient’s address and send

    The disadvantage of this method is that it is not possible to send all voice notes together at once; you have to send them one at a time, which is not very convenient. If there are a lot of recordings, it is more convenient to transfer them using iTunes.

    There is also a third way to copy voice recordings of a voice recorder from an Apple iPhone to a computer, using , you can try it; i-FunBox helped out many who were unable to transfer voice recordings of a voice recorder to a computer using iTunes and mail.

    General computer care Of course, you don’t need to take care of your computer like you would a beloved girl, but you should still follow the basic rules. Firstly, you need to try not to spill tea, coffee and other liquids on a working or idle computer, and also leave it in the rain, snow and various precipitation. Such an adventure will most likely end badly for the computer. I think you understand this without me. Secondly, it is not recommended to place the system unit in a tight, enclosed space - for example, in a bedside table, into which it barely fits. The fact is that the devices inside the system unit heat up, and to cool them there are several fans inside the system unit. But in order for these fans to cool effectively, it is necessary to provide a supply of fresh air. caring for your computer Thirdly, there is no need to bring your computer to a state where a kilogram of dust accumulates inside it. Dust can clog the openings through which fresh air flows into the system unit, and also serve as a conductor through which a short circuit can occur inside the system unit. And although this happens quite rarely, it still happens. I just beg you, don’t wipe the inside of the system unit with a damp cloth. Outside please. And the dust from inside can be sucked out using a regular vacuum cleaner. Just remember to disconnect your computer from the power supply before doing this. And finally, fourthly, you need to remember that a computer is an electrical device, and power surges occur quite often in our electrical network. How your computer will handle them depends on the reliability of its power supply. But even the most reliable power supply may sooner or later fail and burn out. And along with it, some devices may burn out. The way out of this situation is simple - I strongly recommend connecting your computer through a surge protector. It looks like a regular household extension cord with several outlets. A surge protector is inexpensive (from $20 to $35) and contains several outlets through which you can connect several devices to the network at once. However, a surge protector is not a complete panacea for problems with the electrical network. It can also misfire, fail to withstand the voltage drop and destroy the computer. This doesn't happen often, but it does happen. Only a so-called Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) can completely protect a computer from the “hooligan antics” of the electrical network. It is especially recommended to buy it if the computer is used to work with very valuable data, the loss of which is very critical - Accounting reports, scientific data, important documents, etc. The UPS looks like a small box. A computer is connected to it, and it connects to the network. In addition to smoothing out power surges, the UPS allows the computer to work for another 20-30 minutes after an unexpected power outage. This is quite enough to normally close all programs, save open documents and shut down the computer.

    The Voice Recorder application is not one of the most used on the iPhone, but when there is a need to record a voice message or note, we turn to it. iPhone users usually don't have any problems with recordings, but when it comes to trying to send it to someone, that's where the real difficulties begin.

    Before you start reading these instructions, we immediately want to make a reservation - we are not talking about sending songs available on your iPhone to other people, but about sending audio recordings. Moreover, there are no adequate ways to transfer music tracks from iPhone to iPhone (and especially to smartphones running Android or Windows Phone).

    Now let's get back to sending audio recordings. There are several ways to transfer audio recordings from iPhone to other devices, but the most effective is simply sending the recording via email or in the body of a text message. This process cannot be called complicated, by any means.

    Step 1: Go to Voice Recorder app

    Step 3. Click on the send button (marked in the screenshot) and select the method convenient for you

    In this simple way, you can save audio recordings or send them to your friends without connecting your iPhone to your computer.

    How to transfer recordings from iPhone voice recorder to computer

    Transferring a sound recording from an iPhone made using the standard Voice Recorder application to a computer is not difficult at all. To do this, all you need is a cable to connect your mobile device to your PC and iTunes.

    How to download a recording from an iPhone voice recorder via iTunes

    1. Connect your smartphone to your computer using a cable and launch iTunes.

    2. Go to the section with information about the device by clicking on the device name in the panel on the left or on the icon located at the top.

    4. Following the completed steps, click on the “Apply” button, then synchronize the contents of your mobile device with your PC.

    Voice recordings transferred from iPhone in this way can be listened to right there in iTunes. Audio files are available for playback in the playlist created during synchronization.

    How to transfer recordings from iPhone voice recorder without iTunes

    iTunes is a good solution if you frequently connect your mobile device to your PC to synchronize and create backups, but if you rarely use iTunes or the program is not installed on your computer at all, it will be more convenient to transfer voice recordings in another way.

    Method 1 - file managers for iOS. A program, like the well-known iFunbox, is installed on the computer. The mobile device is connected to the desktop, after which you use the program to find the desired voice recording and copy the audio file to the PC.

    Method 2 - cloud data storage. If you actively use cloud file storage services, this method is the simplest solution. You don't need cable, iTunes or alternative managers. It is enough to export the recording, for example, to Dropbox, wait for the data to synchronize and take it from the Dropbox folder on your computer.

    If you have not found an answer to your question or something has not worked out for you, and there is no suitable solution in the comments below, ask a question through our help form. It's fast, simple, convenient and doesn't require registration. You will find answers to your and other questions in this section.

    By the way, follow the news of app-s.ru through our VKontakte group or Telegram. We have a damn interesting news feed.

    1. Using audio editing.
    2. Using iTunes.

    For example, you recorded a long interview or speech of 50 minutes or more on an iPhone voice recorder and now want to transfer this recording to your computer to edit a video.

    To do this, click on the “send” icon at the bottom left.

    And choose one of the proposed options. For example, send by e-mail.

    But the error message is that the attachment size is greater than 25 MB. Unable to attach attachment.

    It will also not be possible to send via imessage, since “The attachment is too long. Would you like to select a smaller clip of this attachment to send?" imessage also has a limit on the maximum size of a sent file.

    It will also not be possible to send via iCloud email due to the error “Message size is 36.2 MB, which exceeds 27.0 MB, the maximum size allowed by the server.

    And then the error “Preparation failed” may appear. The recording is currently being optimized for sending. And no matter how much you wait, it will continue to be optimized.

    1. Using audio editing.

    The first method is audio trimming. So, to reduce the size of an audio recording on an iPhone made using the voice recorder application, click “edit”.

    Then click on the crop icon at the bottom right.

    You will now enter file trimming mode. Drag the right bounding line further to the left to trim the end of the recording (don't worry, nothing will be deleted).

    I made 39 minutes out of 57 minutes, cutting off almost 20 minutes from the end. Now click "Crop".

    There will be options:

    • Crop original
    • Save as new entry
    • Cancel

    A new audio file will be created with the same name, but with an addition (copy). This way we created a copy of the file with the ending cut off. On iOS 10, this problem should no longer occur, although anything can happen.

    Now all that remains is to do the same thing, but only cut off the beginning of the file and the end of the file. And from one large file we will receive two medium ones, which can be sent to a computer or anywhere.

    2. Using iTunes.

    Connect your iPhone to your computer, open iTunes and click on the iPhone icon that appears.

    Now click on the “Music” tab and check the “Sync music” checkbox, and also check the “include voice recordings in synchronization” checkboxes.

    Synchronize your iPhone with your computer by clicking “Sync” at the bottom in iTunes.

    Wait for the synchronization to complete. Now all your voice recordings have been transferred to your iTunes library. Click on the Music icon in iTunes to open your music library.

    Find here the file name you named your audio recording.

    Right-click on it and select “Copy”.

    Now you can paste this entry into any folder on your computer. To do this, right-click on an empty space and select “Paste.”

    The audio recording from your iTunes library will be transferred to your disk. Only it will not save the name, the audio recording will be renamed. Also, for the security of your Apple ID account, I recommend installing Two-Step Apple ID Verification.

    The audio recording format will be .m4a, to convert .m4a to .mp3 or any other format, you can watch the video tutorial. It shows how to convert from the .flca format to .mp3, but also instead of .flac you can do this with the .m4a format.
