Practice singing, speaking or playing an instrument effectively: record the audio and play it back immediately. Designed for quick repetitions: one verse, couple of bars of music, even one word, like pronouncing the English "squirrel", French "Inébranlablement" or Swiss German "chuchichäschtli" perfectly :-) After finishing the recording, audio is played back immediately so you can listen quickly and improve with the next repetition. Enjoy! Stores audio only locally on device.
