Voice Candy

By Ricky Buchanan • August 28, 2007

Voice Candy is a fun and useful recorder for your Mac. Think of it as Photo Booth for your microphone.

As well as the fun uses of Voice Candy, there are a multitude of useful things it can do - record reminders with attached alarm timers, record notes to save to the Desktop, record and send mp3 files as email to people, and others. Voice Candy can be controlled entirely via keyboard shortcuts also.

I have been a Voice Candy user for a long time and am very happy with it.

Firefox generally doesn’t let you use a lot of OS X’s accessibility features, including the services menu and some of OS X’s regular keyboard shortcuts.
