Smart Recorder Lite for Pc

At first I thought I was getting a great deal for this app but then once I started using it to record a lecture in my Political Philosophy class, I realized that it will only record three minutes at a time, which is obviously not very helpful for me as a college student. Maybe I just didn't read enough into this and mistakenly thought I'd be able to record the entire lecture, but I was disappointed when I realized that I couldn't. I guess I was expecting too much from a free app.

It is a great product but ultimately it cant record more than 3 minutes at a time. I had to write a critical analysis of a character in a novel for english and found that it was much easier to develop ideas if I was recording them since the ideas were more concise but better worded. It helpped me put down ideas but ultimately I could not speak my full essay in three minutes so I think that overall it needs improvement. I am not willing to splurge for the $5 version since I will probably only use it for english papers.

Great idea for an app, but falls short of great. You can work around some problems that it has and it does work for what it's intended for, but without the workaround, it's almost useless. As I understand it, (certainly what I intended to use it for anyway) you can press start at the beginning of an event and it will record audio of the event and you can type notes and those notes will get time-stamped with the proper time since the start of the event. Great idea for journalists or someone who wants to take meeting notes. Problem is, when you press start, it starts to work as intended. When you type your first note (in the right side of the window), your note is added to the left and time stamped properly. After that, the time stamping no longer works in a usable way. If you press return, it simply returns to the next line, just like you'd expect a word processor to, but no new time stamp happens. Not only does no new time stamp happen, I can't find a way to reset it so that it does work properly again during that same session. If you press the "add tag" icon, it adds a new time stamp right then, but that is less than helpful when I'm trying to type notes in real time during an event. Their idea is when you're ready to start typing, that's the moment you must press the "add tag" icon. I don't want to have to remember or take time to click something before typing. I would much rather press some button that resets it to a "waiting for input" state so that when I do start typing again, it will then add a time stamp. OR better yet, if I press return two times in a row, it then resets to "waiting" status. Workaround: I found that if you click on the first entry "START RECORD" after you have finished typing a note, then click back in the right side of the window, it will properly time stamp the next time you start to type. I find this less helpful than it is valuable so I have uninstalled it. If development improves greatly, I'll try it again.

I was recording my grandma talking about her life and it stopped after 3 minutes. By the time I bought the full version I looked over and she died…….. Just joking!!! But my point is although it's free it has a time limit.
