Vocaroo- Voice Recorder

Vocaroo Voice Recorder

Vocaroo is a simple, online voice recorder that allows you and your students to record audio. After the recording has been made, Vocaroo allows you to save the files as a mp3 or share via a link. These links can be emailed out or turned in via a Google Form (Check out our recent blog post on Google Forms if you'd like to try that option).

The home page is easy to navigate with a simple "Click to Record" button. 
  

For a step by step walk through of Vocaroo, check out these instructions, watch our video (below) or stop into the library. We are always happy to help!


Have a great week!
