## Description

Voice Memos for Chrome turns your browser into a portable audio recorder. Record high-quality memos with the built-in mic, a connected headset, or an external microphone, choosing uncompressed for fidelity or compressed to save space. You can record a vocal layer over an instrumental track where hardware supports it, and stereo recording adds depth. Recordings can be automatically named by location and synced across devices with cloud storage.

Edit and organize with ease: trim, replace, resume, and Save As to preserve the original while creating new versions. Transcriptions convert speech to text for quick reference, and you can separate vocal and instrumental takes for layered projects. Use folders, search, and Favorites to stay organized, and enjoy playback controls like variable speed and skip-ahead. Share multiple recordings at once, and import vocal layers into compatible DAWs for further production.
