Methods to Create Voice Notes in Evernote on Computer

There are two ways available for you to use in recording voice notes on computer. The first one is utilizing the built-in function of the tool while the other one needs to draw support from a smart third-party application.

1. Evernote Voice Recording Function

Evernote comes with the voice recorder which you can easily access, follow the steps below to insert voice in note.

3. Click “Record” to start recording. You’ll see a red dot on the menu bar icon indicating that a note is currently recording.
4. Once finished, just simply click “Save” button to stop recording and save it as voice note.

This way is really convenient, but also has its drawbacks. First, the free version has only the size limit of 25MB. If you want it to record longer audio file, then you need to pay for the premium plan. Besides, it saves audio in WAV only and the files sometimes cannot be played normally. Given these drawbacks, the alternative way would be helpful.
