Derivatives
The term "audio recorder" refers to two references. On the one hand, there is the physical reference: the audio recorder. These are the long boxes, used to record a conversation and take voice notes. On the other hand, there is the computer reference. In fact, the audio recorder also refers to an app for Android or iOS. Installed on a smartphone, this application gives it the same capabilities as a conventional audio recorder. However, performance is less.
use
Whether it's physical or not, audio recorder is used to record a conversation or surrounding noise. The device is used in more formal settings such as journalistic interviews, meetings or multimedia sound. But in its abstract form, it is possible to use it for more egotist eavesdropping: in the form of an application, it is more discreet. Nevertheless, it can be said that, whatever its form, the device can be used in the same way.
