Babbler Audio Recorder

Babbler is a multi-purpose high fidelity (WAVe) sound-sensing recorder and player. Both recording and playback may be either manual (on button push) or automatic (Noise-Activated/Sound-Activated recording/playback). When both recording and playback are set to automatic mode Babbler maintains a “conversation” on its own with the user (hence the name). This applications uses real-time sound processing, consequently it does not keep data in compressed formats. As of this version WAVe and MP3 file export is supported. OGG export is planned for version 2.x+

Paid PRO version is available that is ads free and has more features. See "Babbler Pro Audio Recorder"

Babbler features

  • Manual (on button push) recording (like regular recorder) - record your practice sessions, meetings etc..
  • Automatic Noise-Activated recording (NAR) - capture night talking while sleeping, spy recording - do they talk about you when you are not there?
  • Manual Playback (on button push) (like regular recorder)
  • Automatic Noise-Suppressed Playback (on silence/on sound) - participate in corporate meetings without your attendance, set a sound mine that goes off on sound
  • Pre-recording intervals - Babbler PRO version only
  • "Insanity" playback mode - application permutes sound bites for fun effects
  • Displays sound waves (track oscillogram, real-time amplitude oscilloscope)
  • Automatic Gain Control (AGC), fully animated VU meter
  • Organize sound tracks in banks, create, delete banks. Copy tracks between banks
  • Label tracks for easier identification
  • Automatically Consolidate/Merge sound tracks produced by auto-recording
  • Export Tracks to WAVE/MP3 format (Windows compatible) to SD card
  • Share Tracks as WAVE/MP3

Use cases

  • Attend corporate meeting instead of sitting in person - dial into your favorite time-wasting corporate meeting and let Babbler respond with senseless answers when conversation gaps form. Meetings participants would think that you are participating in the meeting.
  • Record in automatic mode while you are asleep - use for sleep talking analysis and sleep apnea/snoring detection
  • Use Babbler as regular sound recorder to record rehearsals, meetings etc. Use track consolidation feature to stitch many small tracks into bigger chunks.

  • Updated to 5 start for version 2.1. Still look at green icon - it's scary! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I think your app is really improperly presented, it is a very powerful sound capture app but because of icon people think its a joke app. I took some time to study the fun part with "insanity mode" et.al. However it seems to me that this app is overly complex for a simple prank one. I'd also recommend adding more settings that deal with mic sensitivity, your blog says you are working on it so I think you are on the right track. I also need compressed audio export MP3 or OGG would not hurt. So, 4 starts for those nuances

  • I use it for voice activation at meetings. Nice prank in auto-play mode. Thanks for AGC setting page - this really made difference in VERSION II. I don't fully understand what "Insane" does - it kicks in with delay. Add some help text about it
