What is it and how does it work?
The online voice recorder tool is a web based program that allows you to record your voice and then lets you save your file as an audio mp3 for free. There is no software to install, and it does not require a user name or password to use it. You can save up to 7 minutes at a time per recording, though you can make as many recordings as you’d like. All you have to do is click on the start recording button and the program may ask you for access to your microphone. If the program asks this, click on yes and then simply start speaking. Click on the stop button when you are done recording.
When you have completed your recording you can trim your audio clip by clicking and dragging on the beginning and end points of the recording. Then you click on save. ** Note: First the program will save the recording online. You must click on save again to save the file to your computer.
All you need to start using this tool is a microphone, computer and the url. (**Note: Won't work on ipads and some tablets that do not use flash.) Due to this fact it is a tool that can easily be used by any teacher of any grade and subject. Students can then send their files to you via email or other file sharing tools like dropbox, or jumpshare. Check out some of suggestions/ideas for use on the charts below:
