RadioWeave has released Soundbiter, an iPhone and iPod touch app that makes it easy for users to capture and instantly share short-form audio content. When the app is running, Soundbiter is always recording, continually saving the last 60 seconds (or preset length) of audio until the user presses its one giant button. Then – bite! – your sound bite is captured, ready for editing and uploading. Soundbiter is a free application available for download from the iTunes App store and is ideal for the likes of us journos
Soundbiter features include:
- Continuous recording mode; users press “bite” to grab the last minute of audio
- Wallpaper customization for the recording screen
- Simple crop-and-preview audio waveform editor
- Ability to tag your bites (for Twitter, these can be automatically posted as #hashtags), including a unique picture with every bite and set per-bite location reporting and listening restrictions
- Batch uploading of captured bites including the ability to lock individual bites to prevent them from being uploaded
- Ability to search for, hear, rate and flag recent and top-rated bites from around the world, including your own
- Option to create your account with your Twitter credentials so all uploaded bites are auto-tweeted
Like I said, neat and to the point – that’s what we like from our utility apps
About The Author
Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
