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

- 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
