What are the best online voice recorders?

We’ve got a full guide on the best online voice recorders. But if you’re looking for high-quality audio recordings without worrying about your internet speed ruining resolution, Riverside is worth trying.

What is the difference between an audio recorder and a voice recorder?

Although often used interchangeably, an audio recorder and voice recorder differ:

  • An audio recorder captures a variety of sounds, be it voice, music, effects, conversations, and more. Audio recording software like Riverside full suite tends to be more complex and include features beyond recording. 
  • A voice recorder specifically records spoken-word. For e.g., meetings, interviews, or voice memos. They don’t always have as many features and tend to be simpler, like our voice recording tool above

It’s also important to mention that you get hardware digital recorders that are recording devices with mics. (They almost look like walkie-talkies). But this differs from recording software that captures audio on your computer.
