RecoBooth is a voice recorder that removes room reverb and noise, making your voice sound like it was recorded in a studio. Voices recorded in ordinary rooms pick up reflections from walls and ceilings. The moment you stop recording, RecoBooth's on-device AI noise and reverb removal (DeepFilterNet3) turns it into a clean, dry voice in seconds. โ–  Great for - Narration, reading practice, voice memos - Cover songs and scratch takes - Voice tracks for videos and podcasts โ–  Features - All processing happens on your device, so it works offline - One-tap A/B comparison between original and studio sound - Mic characters (dynamic / condenser / ribbon) to shape the tone - Detects and suppresses room resonances automatically - Shows the microphone in use, including external mics and audio interfaces - Waveform trimming, with export levelled to around -14 LUFS - Import a video, clean up just its audio, and export it back (the video is never re-encoded) - Import audio files too, such as Voice Memos (m4a, mp3, wav and more) - Background recording โ€” keep recording with the screen off - iPad support. On a wide landscape screen your recordings stay in a list on the left while the studio fills the right - Five accent colours, light / dark appearance, and full text-size support โ–  RecoBooth Pro (one-time purchase) - Export lossless WAV โ€” the format to hand to your editing software - Record or import audio and video up to 2 hours at a time (5 minutes on the free version) - No more full-screen ad after each conversion - Future Pro features are included at no extra cost Recordings and imported audio or video are up to 5 minutes each (2 hours with Pro), captured at 48 kHz, exported as M4A or, with Pro, WAV.
