Record MP3 Audio by Phone with Drop.io
Remember Drop.io, the online dropbox for files? The service just added a nifty new option: audio recording. Now, when you create a drop, you get a phone number and extension you can dial into to record meetings, podcasts, reminders, or whatever. Here's how it works:
Dial the number, wait for the prompt, enter your extension and start talking. Whatever you say we will convert to an MP3 and put on your drop in a matter of a few seconds--for you to listen to, download, share, use however you want.This varies a bit from my beloved Jott, which is used to transcribe your voice into text. The possibilities here are fairly endless; I could even see using this to record an interview using your cell phone: Dial into Drop.io, then use the phone like a voice recorder. There's no limitation on recording time, either, though the resulting MP3 can't exceed the size of your drop (100MB for free ones; $10 for 1GB Premium drops). The voice service itself is provided free of charge. [via TechCrunch]
