App Description

Just Press Record is a simple, professional audio recorder that features speech-to-text transcription and iCloud syncing across all your devices.

The ideal tool for musicians, journalists, podcasters, students, lecturers, audio professionals, businesses or anyone who needs to capture audio at home, on the move or in the studio.

FEATURES:

MULTIPLE DEVICES
Play back and record on all your iOS devices, your Apple Watch and your Mac – giving you ultimate flexibility on how you use your recordings. Just Press Record for iOS / watchOS is a separate purchase available from the iOS App Store.

iCLOUD OR LOCAL STORAGE
Choose to save your recordings in a local folder on your Mac or in iCloud Drive for instant access from your other devices.

TRANSCRIBE (requires the latest version of macOS)
Turn speech into text with support for over 30 languages. Set your preferred language independently of your Mac’s language setting. You can format your text as you record with punctuation commands.

EASY INTERFACE
See everything at a glance including the current input device and a level meter so you can start recording straight away. The Just Press Record icon in the Menu Bar at the top of the screen is ideal for when you need to kick off a recording quickly. We've also added support for the Touch Bar on the MacBook Pro and support for Dark Mode.

INPUT SELECTION
Use your Mac's built-in microphone or an external audio interface or USB microphone. Record in stereo or mono - ideal for voice recordings.

QUICK MUTE
Press and hold the M key during a recording and your microphone will be silenced. As soon as you release the M key your mic will be live again. Perfect for when you need to cough!

UNLIMITED RECORDING TIME
With unlimited recording time you can record just about anything, so long as you have enough storage on your Mac or iCloud!

FILE MANAGEMENT
Files are saved by date and time and can be easily renamed and arranged in Finder so you can locate your files easily.

FILE FORMAT
Recordings can be saved to uncompressed AIFF or WAV files for maximum quality or to iTunes AAC format to save space.

IMPORTANT:
• Transcription requires a good, clean audio signal. Avoid recording in noisy environments and ensure the microphone is positioned close to the source.
• Just Press Record for iOS is available as a separate purchase on the iOS App Store.
