About Direct Dictaphone

Want to record a thought ? Just launch this app and talk. No need to click any other button.

It tries to detect when you stop talking (provided you're not in an a noisy environment or far from the phone) and it records up to 45 seconds by default so it won't fill your memory card.

Want to record another one ? Touch the red dot, or launch it again from the phone lockscreen.

This app is for recording short notes, such as "Remember to buy milk". If you want to record a long speech, don't use this app, but rather use VirtualRecorder for example.

No network connection needed : notes are stored on the SD card.

You can listen to notes later: press the "Menu" key in Android 2, or click on "Listen" in Android 4 action bar. Then click on a note.

To send or remove a note, long click.

Confirmation is an option that may be disabled inside Preferences.

You may use a file manager, such as EStrong, to access the files in the DirectDictaphone folder on the SD card.

In order to play WAV files on Sony Xperia, I recommend using "Android Music Player", free app from JRTStudio.

I made this app for my own use, first : I wanted something really simple, for obvious security reasons. When you drive, you can't type, you can't click buttons, you can just launch the app when the traffic light is red and go !

There's no ad in this app. I'm happy if you find it useful.

Fast, easy, no messy menu. Just records your note when you open it, saves your recording when you touch the screen, great! When you go to playback you have option to send the recording via email, evernote etc . Ideal for "Note to Self" Thanks again... now I'm off to uninstall the other recorders I downloaded looking for one like this.
