The Best Free Voice Recording Apps for Android

Would you like to use your Android phone as a dictaphone? There's quite a few voice recording apps available on Google Play. There might even be a basic voice recording app pre-installed on your smartphone, however, the basic pre-installed app isn't exactly the most feature-rich app for recording voice messages. If you are looking for a good app to record voice on your Android phone, you have come to the right place. In this article, I will present you with the best free voice recording apps available for Android smartphones and other devices.

The Best Free Voice Recording Apps for Android:

Tape-a-Talk Voice Recorder 

Price: Free
Download: Google Play

Tape-a-Talk is one of the best voice recording apps for Android. Tape-a-Talk allows you to record with the display turned off, choose between the quality of the recording, pause and resume recording, update the recordings to several servers (for an example, you can upload your voice recording with Tape-a-Talk straight to your Dropbox), and, of course, you are allowed to send, delete as well as rename your recordings.


Voice Recorder 

Price: Free
Download: Google Play

Another really good and popular (according to some sources, the most popular) app for recording voice on your Android device. If you are looking for a voice recorder app to only record brief voice notes to yourself, Voice Recorder might be a better choice for you than Tape-a-Talk. One of the best options of Voice Recorder is the option to start recording on a timer. Also, Voice Recorder can send your recording
s straight to your Gmail account. However, it does not support other e-mail sites.

Wave Recorder 

Price: Free
Download: Google Play

Wave Recorder is a pretty simple app for recording voice on your Android phone. However, it records in excellent quality - PCM or Wave. Wave Recorder saves all the voice recordings on your phone's SD-card. It's not the most feature-rich app for recording voice, however, it does come with few nice extra features - you can pause and resume your recording sessions, record up to 12 hours of voice in a single go, rename and send recordings via e-mail. Also, Wave Recorder can work in background as well, so you can access and use other apps and functions of your phone while recording.

This completes my short list of the best free voice recording apps for Android. If you feel like I've missed a good one, please do leave a comment and let me know.
