AudioBoo lets you share audio recordings with the world. The service and app integrate with Twitter and AudioBoo’s own user accounts. The time limit per audio file is 5 minutes, but the company has been known to up your limit upon request. The app itself has a very simple interface. Simply hit start and a recording will start within few seconds. When finished, tap publish, and within seconds you’ll be able to describe it, tag it, attach a picture and upload it. The app will continue recording audio in the background if you need to leave the app. The service can share your AudioBoos with Twitter, Facebook, Posterous, FriendFeed and Tumblr.

NoteMinder is an alternative to Say It & Mail It Recorder. The app launches, lets you record audio, and then immediately sends it off as an email. The app will run in an iPad optimized interface (something the former app does not). We found that Say It & Mail It Recorder does a better job with getting in and mailing it than this one. It is a great option for those that want an iPad optimized alternative.

Recorder has some intriguing features. For an additional fee, the app can record outgoing calls from your iPhone. The app includes all of the standard features you would expect from a recording app. Recorder can email recordings or share recordings through a local Wi-Fi network. The interface is well designed and is a great option.

SpeakEasy Voice Recorder is an alternative to the essential apps. The developers have ceased development of the app. The last update to the app came out in February 2010. The app is truly a great one and it is sad to see such a fantastic app be abandoned. The app features adjustable audio quality, audio organization, Wi-Fi file sharing, pause/start recordings, and much more. SpeakEasy will compress your audio to allow even longer recordings to be sent through email. However, since the app has been abandoned, it cannot be recommended as an essential or notable app.

AudioMemo personal recorder is an app we could not really recommend. The app records in the CAF format, which isn’t used that much. The app has a simply terrible interface, and it hasn’t been updated in many months. The app has potential, but right now it is one to avoid.
