◇VoiMemoの特徴◇ 1.ボイスレコーダー & 文字起こし & テキスト読み上げ スマホに音声入力した内容を保存する、シンプルなボイスレコーダーとして使えます。 現在特に録音時間の制限は持たせていません。 また、音声入力した内容は、端末の音声認識機能を使って自動でテキスト化されます。 テキスト化された文章の「読み上げ機能」と「他のアプリへのシェア機能」もついています。 2.リスト単位で管理 音声メモをリスト単位で管理できるので、目的別に管理したり、用途に応じて自由にお使い頂けます。 3.追加録音が可能 一つの音声メモに何回も音声入力を追加できます。ちょっと考えている間は録音止めておいて、また録音再開してもテキストは一つに統合されます。 ※音声ファイルは統合されないので、音声再生時には複数の音声ファイルから一つ選んで再生する必要があります。 4.文字起こしの多言語対応 リスト毎に利用する言語(現在、日本語、英語のみ、順次追加予定)を指定できます。 この指定された言語に応じてテキスト化(文字起こし)されます。 日本語のメモ、英語の練習用など使い分けることができます。 5.登録不要、完全無料 登録不要、完全無料ですぐにお使い頂けます。 登録不要で使えるのでお試し使いも簡単! ◇こんな方にオススメ!!◇ - シンプルなボイスレコーダーを必要としている方 - 音声の文字起こしを必要としている方 - 英語などの練習をされている方(音声の記録確認、テキスト化を使った発音の確認など) ◇制約事項◇ - 現在、ブルートゥースマイクを使用するとアプリがクラッシュする問題が解決していません。端末のマイクまたはLightningケーブル接続のマイクをご利用ください。

Therefore, you can comfortably transcribe without any transcription failure or delay due to network connection failure. In addition, you can use it safely at work without being involved in information leakage on the cloud service side.
