Why we picked this?

Not only is Sleep Talk Recorder practical, it’s also a lot of fun. All you have to do is place your iDevice less than three feet away from your bed with the microphone facing you. You’ll probably also want to plug it in so it doesn’t stop running in the middle of the night. The app utilizes an advanced filtering algorithm to identify sounds and immediately start recording, so you won’t just have one huge file that you have to listen to. You’re able to review your recordings, mark them as favorites, and even share your funniest moments with the Sleep Talk Recorder community.

If you think you talk in your sleep, give Sleep Talk Recorder a try. You’ll be very surprised at the things you say.

If you’d rather your thoughts remain a secret, there’s no point in downloading Sleep Talk Recorder. It also can use up a lot of space on your iDevice even though it only records brief segments of audio.
