4. Voice recorder

The application “Voice recorder” allows you to record voice messages. You can use it to 
create shopping and to-do lists, audio interviews, record addresses and phone numbers et 
cetera. The integrated microphone is optimized for voice recording and filters background 
noises. Recordings are saved as MP3 files with a quality of 64 kbps when using the 
internal microphone or 128 kbps via external microphone. 

4.1. Recording a short voice message

To record a short voice message, keep “Rec” pressed while speaking. A short click 
signalizes that the recording has started. To stop recording simply release “Rec” again. For 
best results, speak at normal volume and hold the device at a distance of approximately 
10 cm (4 inches) from your mouth. The integrated microphone is located in the upper left 
corner near the small red light.

Hint:

 Keep the „Rec“ button pressed until you hear a click, indicating that the recording has 

started. This may take up to 3 seconds, in case your Milestone 212 Ace has already 
entered power saving mode.

4.2. Recording a continuous voice message

As an alternative to having to keep the “Rec” button pressed, you can start a continuous 
recording. Push and hold the “Rec” button and then in addition press “Play”, after you hear 
the short click. Milestone 212 Ace will acknowledge the start of the continuous recording 
with the sound sequence “low pitched-high pitched”. To quit continuous recording, press 
the “Rec” button again. The device will confirm the end of the continuous recording with 
the sound sequence “high pitched-low pitched”.
