About this app

Designed for:
- Training vocal projection
- Practicing pronunciation at language learning
- Practicing for casting
- Testing headphones
- Recording with audio monitoring
- Recording multiple takes with quick replay of last recorded segment
- Anything else you might want to do with given feature set :)

NOT suitable for:
- Use as a singing microphone with loudspeakers
- Use as an interface with near-zero latency
because
* It is not possible to completely remove the latency on Android devices
* The microphones are typically omnidirectional and pick voices from surrounding, thus leading to loud feedback loop if using loudspeakers

Feature set:
- Output from microphone to speakers or headphones (monitoring)
- Custom delay on monitoring
- Audio recording in compressed or uncompressed format
- Quick replay of the latest recorded file
- Quick sharing of the latest recorded file

Notes:
- When monitoring, you need to make sure, the mic is not picking up the sound from the speakers (i.e. the use of headphones is recommended), otherwise the feedback loop starts producing noise!
- Minimum latency (delay) depends on the audio driver and device specifications. The app is designed to offer the lowest possible latency an app could offer, but there is inevitably going to be some latency on android devices (at least for now).

Free version allows for 3 h of total recording or monitoring time. After that the recording or monitoring session is limited to 1 minute.

In case of any problems, please contact me at jure@timetools.eu and I will try to resolve any issue.

Internet permission is needed for the purpose of handling crash reports and improving app performance for which we use Google Cloud services. Voice recordings are never collected.

Works as advertised, but unacceptable for Bluetooth transmitting in real time. Lowest setting has too much latency. Although, this is not the apps fault. The conversion from analog to digital processing to Bluetooth and to amplification is the culprit, I suspect. If the latency playback is a non-issue then 4 stars. It could use a signal bar graph for input volume.

Fantastic! I have been looking for an app that has minimal lag and no nag screens. I have a severe hearing disability, particularly when there is other noise nearby. I got a Bose QC45 to take care of the background noise but needed to have an app that would amplify the person in front of me. Voila! The 150ms lag still allows me to speak to an individual in a crowded room and understand their speech. Totally awesome!

I am inflating my score from a 4 to a 5 because I don't understand why people are rating this so low; this app is SUPPOSED to playback what you say. It even has an option to turn that off at the top left. It's amazing for voice training, which is why I downloaded it. Only complaint is that recording is not very intuitive and feels like an afterthought, but it's small. You need to tap on the file name when recording is enabled AND that only works if you adjust the power usage of the app.
