Voice recordings from iPhone. Voice recorder on iPhone: where is it located, how to use it, how to send an audio file


The Voice Recorder application is included in the set standard programs any Apple iPhone, starting from the very first models to more modern ones - 4, 4S. Most likely a gentleman's set of subsequent iOS versions will also be equipped with this, sometimes useful, application. I think there’s no point in talking about the step-by-step operation of recording voice notes, I pressed the red button and the recording started, but let’s talk about how to download voice recorder recordings from iPhone some users do not know how to connect to the computer and find their location.

Before we look at the procedure for downloading voice recordings from an iPhone, I would like to talk about one feature of the Voice Recorder program. The fact is that on the iPhone you can make a recording telephone conversation You won’t be able to use a standard voice recorder, so play Bond by recording the voice of the caller on the other end of the line, standard means You can not. Thus, Apple does not violate the rights of the interlocutor.

Now on topic, there are two official way downloading voice recorder recordings from iPhone to computer - using synchronization in iTunes or you can transfer recordings by email.

Sync voice recorder recordings to iTunes
This method of copying recordings from an iPhone voice recorder to a computer is possible with the help of a USB cable.

1. Launch iTunes and . Click on the phone that appears in the “Devices” section

2. In the “Browse” tab, check the box “Process music and videos manually”


3. After that, in the “Music” tab we put the markers: “Synchronize music” and “Include voice recordings”. Click the “Apply” button to start synchronization.


4. Synchronization will help you download voice recorder recordings from your iPhone and they will appear in iTunes in the “Music” section


Downloaded voice recorder recordings are also displayed in the “Voice recordings” section, located in playlists or in devices. You can listen to them here


5. If you want to copy downloaded recordings to Flash, you will have to find them on your computer; this is easy to do - click on the recordings right click, select Show in Windows Explorer"(depending on the OS version, this item may sound slightly different) and a folder with your recordings will open.

If the computer and iTunes programs If you don’t have it at hand, but you urgently need the records, you can use the second method, using email.

Send voice recorder from iPhone by mail
In order to transfer voice recordings from your phone by means of Email We will also need to make a recording using the Voice Recorder application. Then we perform the following steps:


1. Click on the button with three horizontal stripes
2. Choose voice recording, which is necessary and press the blue arrow button
3. Select “E-mail”, enter the recipient’s address and send

The disadvantage of this method is that it is not possible to send all voice notes together at once; you have to send them one at a time, which is not very convenient. If there are a lot of records, it is more convenient to transfer them when iTunes help.

There is also a third way to copy voice recordings of a voice recorder from an Apple iPhone to a computer, using , you can try it; i-FunBox helped out many who were unable to transfer voice recordings of a voice recorder to a computer using iTunes and mail.

Long audio recordings do not fit into email attachments. I will show you two ways to send a long audio recording from an iPhone to a computer.

For example, you recorded a long interview or speech of 50 minutes or more on an iPhone voice recorder and now want to transfer this recording to your computer to edit a video.

To do this, click on the “send” icon at the bottom left.

And choose one of the proposed options. For example, send by e-mail.

But the error message is that the attachment size is greater than 25 MB. Unable to attach attachment.

It will also not be possible to send via imessage, since “The attachment is too long. Would you like to select a smaller clip of this attachment to send?" imessage also has a limitation on maximum size sent file.

It will also not be possible to send via iCloud email due to the error “Message size is 36.2 MB, which exceeds 27.0 MB, the maximum size allowed by the server.

And then the error “Preparation failed” may appear. IN currently the recording is optimized for sending. And no matter how long you wait, it will continue to be optimized.


1. Using audio editing.

The first method is audio trimming. So, to reduce the size of an audio recording on an iPhone made using the voice recorder application, click “edit”.

Then click on the crop icon at the bottom right.

You will now enter file trimming mode. Drag the right bounding line further to the left to trim the end of the recording (don't worry, nothing will be deleted).

I made 39 minutes out of 57 minutes, cutting off almost 20 minutes from the end. Now click "Crop".

There will be options:

  • Crop original
  • Save as new entry
  • Cancel

Will be created new audio a file with the same name, but with an addition (copy). This way we created a copy of the file with the ending cut off. Such problems should no longer occur, although anything can happen.

Now all that remains is to do the same thing, but only cut off the beginning of the file and the end of the file. And we will get from one large file two medium ones that can be sent to a computer or anywhere.


2. Using iTunes.

Connect your iPhone to your computer, open iTunes and click on the iPhone icon that appears.

Now click on the “Music” tab and check the “Sync music” checkbox, and also check the “include voice recordings in synchronization” checkboxes.

Synchronize your iPhone with your computer by clicking “Sync” at the bottom in iTunes.

Wait for the synchronization to complete. Now all your voice recordings have been transferred to your iTunes library. Click the Music icon in iTunes to open your music library.

The audio recording format will be .m4a, to convert .m4a to .mp3 or any other format, you can watch the video tutorial. It shows how to convert from the .flca format to .mp3, but also instead of .flac you can do this with the .m4a format.

The Voice Recorder application is not the most popular on the iPhone. Often it is not used for weeks or months. But there are times when it becomes necessary.

As a rule, many users have a problem sending the recording they made to their computer.

It's actually quite simple. You can transfer the recording to your computer, or indeed to any other device, in the following ways:

  • by email;
  • text message;
  • by sending a message via social network or messenger;
  • by uploading the recording to cloud storage;
  • synchronizing your iPhone with your PC via iTunes.

Method 1: Without iTunes

First, go to the Voice Recorder application itself. Next follow the steps:

This is a way out when you don’t have time to connect to a computer, but you need to quickly send the saved audio recording to your friends and acquaintances. This can be done in a few seconds if mail account configured on your smartphone.

The second method is more complicated, but no less reliable. You need to synchronize with iTunes.

To do this, you should perform the following steps:

  • Select device.
  • Click Sync.
  • View everything that was recorded on the voice recorder in Voice Recordings. Extract the ones you need from there by selecting Show in Explorer.
