Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I upload my Project to the Desktop?

A: Version 1.2 lets you upload to Windows or Mac via “Bonjour” - it’s built into Safari - and you can get Safari for Windows too! If you use IE, you can
get a plugin to show Bonjour. Connect your iPhone to your local network via WiFi and follow instructions here. Recording of any size quickly transfer to the Desktop!

Best Practices: Make more shorter recordings instead of one very long recording. These are easier to edit, delete, and reorder. Please remember the iPhone only has limited memory! Tapping ‘Record’ on an existing audio brings up an option to ‘Create New Recording’ as a shortcut.
