Use Recorder to make your work and life easier
The ColorOS system's Recorder app (in the "Tools" folder on the home screen by default) lets
you use the phone's built-in microphones to record daily conversations, lectures, musical ideas,
calls, and more. In ColorOS 12, the speech-to-text algorithm is improved to support faster audio
transcription.
Make a standard recording
Open Recorder and tap the red button to start recording. You can use another app while
recording, and the recording will continue in the background. To go back to Recorder, tap
at the top of the screen, or swipe down to open the Notification Center and tap the ongoing
recording task.
Record a conference/interview
Use the Conference recording or Interview recording mode to record a conference or interview.
These modes have been optimized based on the usage scenarios for better recording results.
• Conference recording: Suitable for recording multi-person conferences, with enhanced vocal
recording for clearer speech.
• Interview recording: Suitable for recording two-person dialogs. To use this mode, point the
top and bottom of the phone at the interviewer and interviewee respectively. The microphones
at both ends will be used to record the conversation.
Manage recordings
• Recording files are listed on Recorder's home page, named by default as "Mode + number".
• Tap and hold a recording file to share, rename, or set it as a ringtone.
