The watch from the Californian giant could be described as a perfect communicator, personal fitness trainer or a tool for simple navigation. However, the product has a really high-quality microphone for a watch, from which you can make fairly usable recordings. If you want to record sound not only on the Apple Watch, you can use a native solution called Dictaphone. However, it does not necessarily suit everyone. In this article, we will take a look at a batch of applications that the native Dictaphone will perfectly replace and surpass in many ways.

Just press record

The Just Press Record app is a great tool for both those who record on a daily basis, as well as users who take an audio recording once in a while. On iPhone, iPad and Mac, it can convert speech to text from individual voice recordings, which can be useful mainly when taking short voice recordings. The application can record both in lower quality M4A format and in WAV format, there is support for external microphones or those in Bluetooth headphones. Recordings are synchronized via iCloud, so you can access them anytime, anywhere. As for the Apple Watch version, you can take and play recordings on your wrist, the application also has a simple complication, tap on it to start recording.

Audio recorder

This software comes from the workshop of a Czech developer and is a very interesting application. In addition to the synchronization of recordings via iCloud or the possibility of editing audio, you can mark any part of the recording in Audio Recorder and scroll through the marks. Of course, there is also a great application for the Apple Watch. Although Audio Recorder is free, you have to activate a subscription to access all the features, which in the end won't blow your wallet that much. Specifically, these amounts are 59 CZK per month or 280 CZK per year.

dictaphone

If you are looking for quality software for speech recognition in recordings, Dictaphone is a suitable candidate. It transcribes speech from recordings to text, both from applications taken directly and from imported files. You can of course edit the text afterwards. This software also has support for the Apple Watch. Although Dictaphone works for free, the biggest problem is that you cannot share voice recordings. You have to pay for many features, and unfortunately you can't buy or subscribe to the full version straight away - you have to buy each feature separately.

Noted ․

A more detailed description of Noted. I won't go into it now, because we already covered this application in our magazine dedicated. It is a notepad, but in addition to notes, it supports taking voice recordings, in which you can mark sections and move through them. On the watch, in addition to adding a complication to the watch face, you can record, add tags and play recordings. You can easily export the recordings afterwards. To be able to use all functions to the full, prepare CZK 39 per month or CZK 349 per year.
