Voice Recorder is an app for recording lectures, conversations, and other sounds (previously called Sound Recorder).

Then you can trim (5), rename (7), or share your recordings (4), which are saved in Documents > Sound Recordings. Select the trash can icon (6) to delete your recording, or the three dots (8) for more options.

  1. Thanks for your post. Is there any shortkey to start “voice recorder” directly? best Daniel from Switzerland

  2. I have ctrl in my laptop i have alt ctrl shift and more stuff i have window 10 is a hp chromebook computer system memory 16GB eMMC storage.

  3. Is there a way to get the original soundrecorder.exe to work under Windows 10?

    Renaming the .m4a to .wav is not a true .wav format according to various sound editing programs I use when I use the built in Windows 10 Sound App. This is a much different program then the previous sound recorder.exe program.

    I would like to get back the original sound recorder where we could use the command soundrecorder /file file_path.wav to record in .wav format off the bat.
