How to Find and Turn on a Voice Recorder on Sony Xperia R1

By default, a number of useful applications are built into the operating system of most smartphones — "Contacts", "Messages", "Watches" and other software, among which there is a "Voice recorder". You can find a voice recorder on Sony Xperia R1 in several ways — through the main menu, settings, and through Google Play (or any other software for installing applications). It is also not difficult to turn on the voice recorder on Sony Xperia R1 — after all, this application is extremely simple and contains only a few buttons.

Looking for "Voice recorder" through the main menu

On new smartphones, there is a home screen setting that allows you to do the following:

1. Move all applications to multiple pages.
2. To create a main menu in which all applications will be hidden, except for the ones selected by the user and the main ones.

This does not make a global difference to the search algorithm, just in the second case you need to make one swipe up and open the main menu.

Search algorithm:

1. Open the main menu with a swipe.

2. In the "Search for local applications", we write a voice recorder (or immediately find an icon with the appropriate signature).
3. Press on the application icon.

Search "Voice recorder" via the settings

1. Go to settings.
2. Go to the "Applications" item.
3. Find the "Voice recorder".
4. Press on "Open".

How to use a voice recorder

The entire central area is needed to display your records and quickly interact (include, delete, change the name, and so on) with them.

Clicking on the huge button (with a red dot in the center) at the bottom will start recording.

After the recording starts, the red dot will change to two sticks (a pause sign).

Pressing the button again will pause the recording (the numbers showing the recording time will fade).

To completely turn off and save the recording, click on the small square on the right.

After stopping the recording, you will be returned to the main menu of the "Voice Recorder", and the recorded audio file will appear in the central area.

What should do if I'm not satisfied with a standard voice recorder?

You can always install software with similar functionality from the official Android store Google Play (or any other software for installing applications).

For this:

1. Open Google Play.
2. In the search field, enter "Voice Recorder" and select any application you like with high ratings (at least 4.5).
3. Press on "Install".
4. Click "Open".
