Mini Recorder Free 2.4.2
Should your device lack one such app or feature, there are a few utilities available for you to try and on Windows Phone handsets you can take for a spin a tool called Mini Recorder Free.
Plain interface, focused on ease of use
The looks of this application are very simple and completely unadorned, with only the main functions and commands shown in plain sight. Going from one section of the app into another is done very smoothly and without delays or other flaws.
The utility uses the phone's theme and doesn't provide any kind of customization for the visuals inside the app, but you can choose the appearance of the tile shown on the Start screen. More precisely, you can opt for the colorful theme or have the tile made transparent, all from the "Settings" area.
Tap to record and continue capturing after locking the screen
The main advantage of Mini Recorder Free is the ease of use and this becomes evident from the first use, as all you have to do in order to start the audio capture is tap the timer numbers.
The sound level is displayed in an original manner, with the whole screen lighting up some colorful squares, depending on the proximity and strength of the received signal.
Even if the screen is locked, you can trust this utility to keep on recording until you decide to pull the plug or there is no more available space for keeping the captured audio.
Manage recordings and upload them on the go
Mini Recorder Free stores locally all the files it creates and allows you to access each of them from the dedicated area. Editing the sounds is not possible, but you can add and modify the file names, add relevant notes and even photos.
Exporting the captured content is possible as well and you have several choices at your disposal. Thus, you can transfer the files to the media library or upload them to your OneDrive or Dropbox accounts.

Ready for use on most Windows Phone devices out there, Mini Recorder Free only needs version 7.5 of the operating system to function properly. |
