This tutorial is a quick overview of getting a good-quality recording using an iOS device.  This method would be appropriate for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.  The theories can also be translated to an Android device.  The basic steps are.

1. Record audio with the Voice Memos app or a similar app.
2. Upload the file to cloud storage, like Microsoft OneDrive (which you have access to with your Heritage account), Google Drive, Dropbox, or something similar.
3. From that point you can access the file and download it so you can post it on your class in myHeritage.

Hello folks!  This video is meant as a brief introduction to recording audio with Audacity.  We record an audio clip and do some minor tweaking to the sound quality before exporting it for publication.

The audio you hear in this tutorial was recorded with the build-in mic from a USB webcam.  Super simple.  To record into Audacity, other microphone options could include the build-in microphone in a laptop, the in-line microphone on simple wired earbuds, or even a large USB microphone.
