Introducing Pocket Recorder - Accessible Audio Recorder

I thinis a bug with the Dropbox feature. When double tapping on it nothing seems to happen.

Thanks. I'm glad to have been provided with information about how to navigate through a recording that is being played back. Very helpful indeed. The audio quaity is fabulous, too<grin>.

Regards,

Curtis Chong

Thanks for the secret setting in dropvox. I already forgot yoru handle so sorry about that lol! If you want to use a recorder for editing try ht recorder. I don't have a link right now but it works well and does just about everything, except voiceover comes out of the hand set not the bottom speaker and I'd rather have that.

I may buy the app just to support developers who make accessibility a priority, so thank you for that. However, please understand that an app simply being usable to a blind person doesn't mean it's an immediate selling point. Like anybody else, we, too, are discerning consumers who care about the app's feature set, and there are apps, most notably Hokusai, that literally do everything yours claims to do plus worlds more, were also designed with VoiceOver users in mind, and cost less. For example, Hokusai is fully accessible, supports numerous file formats, has extensive audio editing facilities, allows for low-latency multitrack recording, has a handsome suite of effects, is lightning fast and supports Dropbox and iCloud Drive storage -- and that's not even scratching the surface. To be fair, Hokusai has had several years to evolve into the powerhouse it is today, but I'm just giving you realistic perspective on the market you're targeting. Of course I don't speak for everyone, but that's just my take

I purchased the app to show my support and also so I can try it out. In an earlier reply I was perhaps a bit too critical. I was comparing the app with the similarly priced and accessible Hokusai app and highlighting how many more features you get with Hokusai. In thinking about it afterward, I decided I missed the mark. Hokusai is indeed laden with functionality, but, as a result, it's also not super immediate and does require a small learning curve. On the other hand, Pocket Recorder is not trying to be an end-all be-all recording suite; it's offering immediacy and simplicity instead -- and I think there's room in every blind person's toolkit for such an app. I haven't played with it yet but I'll share my impressions of it as soon as I can

Hello,

My name is Ameen. I am visually impaired. I use a screen reader called VoiceOver on my iPhone. I did have a concern about the Pocket Recorder. There is no way to change the sensitivity of the recording. Also, there is no way to transfer the recording files into the computer through iTunes without using Dropbox. Also there is no way to transfer the recording files to the Pocket Recorder app through iTunes. You can't record the files in mp3 format. There is also no share button. If you can please allow Pocket Recorder to change the sensitivity of the recording, transfer recording files through iTunes, record in mp3 format, and have a share button as soon as possible, I would really appreciate it. Other than that, the Pocket Recorder app is really simple to use and the quality of the recording is great.

You cannot with out paying lame do mp3. Remember mp3 is patented so yeah,Please remember this.

I am looking for a good recorder for recording workshops where you have many excited people talking at the same time. :) I found many recording apps in the App Store and went through the AppleVis forum for comments. So far I find Pocket Recorder getting a lot of appreciation.
Andy, are the promo codes all exhausted? If there is one lying around, could you send me one at mani.g.iyer@gmail.com? :)

Thanks.

I do have many recording apps already. In which, i personally like dropvox since its having the mp3 format and background recording feature. I am not sure what way this one differs from dropvox?

I've played with it and it's super slick. The clean, minimalist interface has huge controls so it's quick to get around in. A few things that would make it even more convenient:
1. Two finger double tap gesture to start and stop recording while Voiceover is running and Pocket Recorder app has focus (similar to Apple's Voice Memos(
2. Support for the physical controls of the Apple earbuds - Start/stop recording/playback, skip to next/previous tracks in list, seek through currently playing track, etc (similar to Apple's Voice Memos(
3. Ability to single finger swipe up or down on a file in list view to quickly access common functions such as delete, rename, share, play, etc

Hello,
2 days ago I was to a conference with a friend of mine and we used Pocket Recorder to record. My friend has a file of 2 hours and 30 minutes, I have 5 files of 30 minutes.
We can't upload to Dropbox and we have really needs to have the files because we must make a webradio program and podcast!
How can we extract the file from the app?
Can you enable itunes sharing at least, so we can see files from sharing folder of itunes?
Thank you.

Hi there. Is the app available on the Ios App Store. How much is it on the Mac? Does it allow editting the Recording? In what format can I record in and once I have uploaded the app on Dropbox will it still take storage Space of my Mac?

With so many free and reasonably accessible recorders available for iOS, including the built-in Voice Reader app, I was initially skeptical of just how Pocket Reader would be worth spending money on. I gave it a shot anyway and it quickly answered that question. It's not stuffed full of editing features or special effects -- and that's its great asset! It is clean, fast and quick to get around in using VO. It's my go-to app now when I want to take down a quick note or capture a quick guitar or vocal idea without any fuss. The expanded sharing features make it a worthy competitor to many other recording apps. Great work, team

Dear Pocket Recorder developers,

First off, thanks for spending time on the development of an accessible recorder for iOS.
But may I humbly know why it costs $9.99? The problem isn't the price tag per se -- many of us have paid for apps which cost $29.99, but what does your application offer, beyond accessibility which many similar apps offer, which warrant the payment of $10?
For instance, does it support recording in MP3 with various bit rates, or uncompressed WAV? Does it support background recording? Does it support altering the playback speed? How about file trimming and bit/sample rate altering? Does it support bookmarking, and pausing/resuming playback?
If these are supported, they're not mentioned in the app description on the App Store. If not, your price tag reminds me of 2012 when such apps would cost this much.
I'm not in a position to ask you to re-consider the app's price tag, but if you want to charge that much -- which is your absolute right, you should let us know if it offers the above-mentioned features.

Firstly, like others I want to say thank you to the developer for engaging with this community and for making this app accessible.

The price tag prevents this from being a "Not much to lose" purchase. So, I was wondering if there is a podcast anywhere that demonstrates this app?

Hi,
Just wondering, does Pocket recorder provide the facility to pause and resume during recordings.

Thanks,

Tim.

Hi, i strongly appritiate your hard work and efforts
To making it fully accessible, but could you reply few comments? Which are above
I also interested regarding its little bit price point
And what you are you offering and what are missing on it.
Hope you reply
Thanks

Andy. Is it still possible to request a promo code in order to try out this product? Also is it necessary to automatically upload your interviews to Dropbox? I have a lot more room on my hard drive than I do in Dropbox. I'm already using a Sony ECM CS3 stereo microphone which works well with an old-fashioned tape recorder (remember those?) I hope it will be compatible with your recorder.

Hello Andy.

For a long time I have been searching for an accessible, simple to use recorder that is compatible with the iPhone, but was finding time and time again the others out there were just too cluttered and difficult to manage. Pocket Recorder is by far the best app I have come across considering I need to make important recordings frequently. It's simple to use, uncluttered (very important for me) and no technical jargon that I simply don't understand. In view of the apps I tried previous to this, to me it's also worth the price too. I use Pocket Recorder to help me with both work-related and leisure activities with no hassle, no fuss. Thank you so much for coming to my rescue with a really amazing app. Keep up the fantastic work.

Hello: I live in a country the $ is so expensive, could you email me a promo code please:

Hi everyone, I had purchased the app a couple of years ago, but haven't used it for a while. I've come back to it now, and really do love it! I've gone through the thread and do have one question: I can plug earphones into the side of my external mic, and I can hear playback just fine. However, since my mic has an adjustable volume control, I'd like to be able to monitor sound while recording. I can't seem to find any way to do that. Am I missing something, or is it just not possible? Oh yes, I had used the recorder on iPhone 5S and the original iPhone SE, and now have the 2nd generation SE. Thanks for any help!

Hello. Long time user of Pocket Recorder and I love it! Recently got the new iPhone SE which is capable of stereo recording. In testing this out with Pocket Recorder, it appears the app is still only using a single channel to record audio. Any chance of an option to record in stereo? I commonly use this app to record live music and capturing the performances in stereo would sound amazing. Thanks

If you are talking about iOs 14 then this is going to have to be up to the dev to implement, as the api calls have to be made to do this.

I have the app. Really easy to use. Love it! :-)

Hey sir, could you please give me the promo code for this app?
I am from Nepal, we don't have online payment system for purchasing apps from the appstore. If you just give me the promo code for me I'll work for the promotion of this app on my youtube channel, thanks my Email is

Please help: I am trying to install pocket recorder from iCloud on my iPhone 13. I get a message that says cannot install no longer available in the App Store. What is the relationship between iCloud and the App Store? Is there anyway that I can get around this problem so that I can reinstall pocket recorder? I really do not want to lose my data. Please help thank you.
