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 🙂
