Sound Specimen Box is a collection app that lets you record sounds from your surroundings for just 10 seconds and map them along with the recording location. Instead of photos, you can record your daily life with sound and cultivate your own unique sound specimen box.

【What you can do with this app】

■ 10-second recording
Simply press the record button to record the sound in your surroundings for 10 seconds. During recording, the sound level is displayed in real time as a waveform, and it automatically stops after 10 seconds.

■ Pinning recording locations on the map
Recorded sounds are displayed as pins on the map. Tapping a pin allows you to listen to the sound again at that location, making it easy to see "where the sound was recorded." Location information usage is optional; recording and saving are possible even without permission.

■ Specimen Box (Collection List)
Recorded sounds are displayed in a list as cards designed with waveforms. You can register favorites and filter by sound type.

■ Sound Encyclopedia (16 Categories Total)
You can set 16 categories for recorded sounds: "Rain," "Waves/Rivers," "Insect Sounds," "Birds," "Station/Train," "City/Crowd," "Wind/Grove," "Fire/Bonfire," "Sounds of Daily Life," "Festivals/Fireworks," "Animals," "Vehicles," "Cafes/Shops," "Nature/Mountains," "Night/Silence," and "Other." The encyclopedia screen allows you to check your completion rate for collected categories and seasonal records.

■ Sharing Specimen Cards
You can share your favorite sound as a card image featuring a waveform and an audio file via social media and messaging apps.
