Tech Assistant for Blind's super-powerful Voice Recorder that will make every visually impaired person a Pro-Audio King!
In the world of Internet and smartphones, Accessibility Settings have made the life of our Blind and Visually Impaired people very easy. Today we will talk about a very amazing feature of Tech Assistant for Blind App, which is its in-built Voice Recorder. Often, screen reader support is not available well in audio recorders of mainstream apps. And even if it is available, **audio effects and advanced settings are not available in it, due to which we have to install different voice recorders, which do not meet our needs. Which causes trouble. But this feature is completely built with Assistive Technology in mind, so you can record professional audio seamlessly with TalkBack.
## What is Voice Recorder feature?
Voice Recorder in the Tech Assistant for Blind app is a smart tool that lets users record high-quality audio with just one click. This is no ordinary recorder; inside this feature you get an Advanced Effects Panel, from where you can add effects like Echo, Reverb, Warmth and Compressor to your voice. Apart from this, features like Noise Cancellation and De-esser are also provided in it, which removes background noise and harsh 'S' sounds. Whether recording college lectures, making voice notes, or recording a podcast—this feature makes everything a breeze.
## Key Benefits of this feature
This Voice Recorder improves the everyday tech lives of our Blind and Visually Impaired users in several ways:
- 100% Screen Reader Friendly: The layout of this recorder is completely accessible. TalkBack clearly announces each option, such as Recording Quality or Output Format.
- No Interference with TalkBack: Normally, while recording, the talkback sound is also recorded. But its Disable System Sounds feature sends the talkback sound to the phone's earpiece, making your recording crystal clear.
- Studio Quality Recording: In this you get output formats like MP3, WAV and FLAC. If you select 48k Sample Rate, you get exactly studio-like sound.
- One-Tap Reset Option: If you mess up any settings while setting up effects, you can instantly reset everything to default by double-tapping the Reset All Effects button.
