Ive bought virtually every voice recorder for the iPhone and this one is by far the best. These are the adantages over other recorders:
1. Records in mp3 format. MP3 is the most universal file format so it plays on any digital device.
2. Selectable record quality. Choose between 32, 64, 128 and 192 bitrates. 128 is CD quality. The MP3 format gives the best sound quality with the smallest file size over the other aiff, wav and caf formats. 64k is 0.5mb/min. 128k is 1mb/min. At 64k you get over 30 hours of recording per GB.
3. Auto-pause. You can set it to pause automatically during silence when recording. The auto-pause is unbelievable. Normally recorders that pause during silence will chop off the beginning when sound resumes after pausing. I stopped and started several times and there was absolutely no indication of a pause. VR picked up immediately without chopping off a single syllable. I even held the phone at arms length and talked softly and it still worked flawlessly. It pauses after roughly 2 seconds of silence. I have a 3GS so I dont know whether this feature works as smooth on slower models.
4. File name stays the same during transfer. When you transfer a recording to your computer or email it, the file name stays the same as what you name it. With some of the voice recorders, when you rename a file and transfer it, the name of the file is the original file number assigned by the program, not what you have named it
5. When you rename a file, the cursor starts at the end of the date and time. This makes it easy if you want to keep thr date and/or time in the file name.
6. Record quality and volume is excellent. Although this does not have various recording profiles such as conference, lecture hall or close up mode, the record quality is excellent and suitable for virtually any situation.
7. Easy to access functions after record. Easy to continue recording, rename, email, share or delete a recording.
The one thing VR+ does not have are record meters or adjustable input volume but the recordings are just as good or better than any recorder with meters. For the most part, the meters look fancy but arent that practical on the iPhone. The automatic level control of this program works great and I really dont need the meters except for the cool look of moving meters.
This program removed all of the shortcomings of every other program that Ive tried.
SUPER PROGRAM!!!
