Rather than carrying around a separate recording device, you can download a voice recording app to your phone. Whether you're a journalist conducting an interview, a detective speaking with a witness, or a blogger composing a new piece of content, a voice recorder is a useful tool to have at your disposal. Just keep in mind that not all voice recording apps are created equal. Some have additional functionality that you may find useful, like the ability to order a transcript directly from the app.
