Don't lose your vocal coach's feedback. Listen back to your karaoke takes and find exactly where the breath drops. Vocal Recorder lets you record your singing and tag the waveform with notes — the way a coach would, but in your pocket. ■ Features • Recording with waveform notes Record a take, see the waveform, and tap markers across it in seven categories: breath, accent, pitch, caution, nailed, feel, lyric. Replay later and every weak spot is right where you left it. • Sheet music (PDF) inline with playback Attach a PDF score to a recording and the Player's Score tab shows it right alongside playback. Pinch to zoom in on details, swipe to flip pages. • Auto-organized folders Comes with Personal, Karaoke, and Lesson folders. Drop each take in the right folder and pull it back up in one tap. • Tags for finer sorting Build your own tag system — genre, key, coach name, anything. • Daily streak See how many days in a row you have practiced, right at the top of your library. • Import existing recordings Bring in m4a / mp3 files you already have and add notes to those too. • Full backup Export your library as a zip and restore on another device. ■ Who it's for · Singers in lessons who want to revisit a coach's feedback at home · Karaoke regulars who want to find the breath drops in their takes · Anyone building a daily vocal practice habit and tracking progress · Anyone working on breath / pitch / accent who needs an honest playback ■ Privacy • No sign-up • All recordings, notes, and scores stay on your device (no server) • Ads served via Google AdMob See "Settings → Privacy Policy" inside the app or the privacy URL on the store listing for details.
