Record Voice on a Windows Computer
Use Sound Recorder
To access the default Sound Recorder on your computer, do as follows:

- Enter “sound recorder” in the search field
- When the result list shows up, click Sound Recorder. Windows 8 users have to search for “sound recorder” by using Start Screen search option
Note: Your computer will open Sound Recorder only if you have attached a microphone to your system. If you need to play back the audio you’ve just recorded, attach speakers or headphones too.
- Once the recording window opens, click the “Start Recording” button having a red dot
- Now, record your voice. To know if your voice is being recorded, look at the green bar. If it’s moving, the recording is in the process
- When done, click the “Stop Recording” button having a black square
- When prompted to whether save or cancel the recording, choose as you wish. If you select “Save,” make sure you have instructed your desired location before completing the saving process
You can edit this saved recording and share it with other at any time.
