Babbler Audio Recorder

Babbler is a multi-purpose high fidelity (WAVe) sound-sensing recorder and player. Both recording and playback may be either manual (on button push) or automatic (Noise-Activated/Sound-Activated recording/playback). When both recording and playback are set to automatic mode Babbler maintains a "conversation" on its own with the user (hence the name). This applications uses real-time sound processing, consequently it does not keep data in compressed formats. As of this version WAVe and MP3 file export is supported. OGG export is planned for version 2.x+

Paid PRO version is available that is ads free and has more features. See "Babbler Pro Audio Recorder"

Babbler features:
* Manual (on button push) recording (like regular recorder) - record your practice sessions, meetings etc..
* Automatic Noise-Activated recording (NAR) - capture night talking while sleeping, spy recording - do they talk about you when you are not there?
* Manual Playback (on button push) (like regular recorder)
* Automatic Noise-Suppressed Playback (on silence/on sound) - participate in corporate meetings without your attendance, set a sound mine that goes off on sound
* Pre-recording intervals - Babbler PRO version only
* "Insanity" playback mode - application permutes sound bites for fun effects
* Displays sound waves (track oscillogram, real-time amplitude oscilloscope)
* Automatic Gain Control (AGC), fully animated VU meter
* Organize sound tracks in banks, create, delete banks. Copy tracks between banks
* Label tracks for easier identification
* Automatically Consolidate/Merge sound tracks produced by auto-recording
* Export Tracks to WAVE/MP3 format (Windows compatible) to SD card
* Share Tracks as WAVE/MP3
* Optimized for tablets (uses extra screen real estate and multiple CPU cores)
* Telephone Call Recording (not through speaker) - experimental feature works on some rooted devices. Tap on VU meter to select input source (must have device with telephony)


Use cases
* Attend corporate meeting instead of sitting in person - dial into your favorite time-wasting corporate meeting and let Babbler respond with senseless answers when conversation gaps form. Meetings participants would think that you are participating in the meeting.

* Record in automatic mode while you are asleep - use for sleep talking analysis and sleep apnea/snoring detection

* Use Babbler as regular sound recorder to record rehearsals, meetings etc. Use track consolidation feature to stitch many small tracks into bigger chunks.

It makes its work but it's to much difficult to manage it's recorded files, there is a bug to export to mp3, ando there is not neither way to rename files nor to export them easily to my laptop, it's a pity, I can't recomend it, God bless u.

I really like this app but the icon is really lame. The app does exactly what I wanted to do, and more.

Updated to 5 start for version 2.1. Still look at green icon - it's scary! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I think your app is really improperly presented, it is a very powerful sound capture app but because of icon people think its a joke app. I took some time to study the fun part with "insanity mode" et.al. However it seems to me that this app is overly complex for a simple prank one. I'd also recommend adding more settings that deal with mic sensitivity, your blog says you are working on it so I think you are on the right track. I also need compressed audio export MP3 or OGG would not hurt. So, 4 starts for those nuances

nice mug but I got scared first, thanks for easy mp3 export! suggestion: could you please add option to select multiple clips at the same time.

Really needs a setting where automatic recording will only start past a certain level. Even when it's completely quiet in my room the meter never goes below 26%, I'm assuming because of just my fan blowing? I would love it otherwise!
