TwistedWave: Record, Edit, and Upload Audio to Google Drive



Many of us have searched to find a way to record audio quickly and easily. There are many sites/apps for this task, but sharing the recording with others is sometimes an issue. We want to be able to share with only a few steps and little hassle (oh, and at no cost). Maybe it is just a suggestion for a student about a project, some detailed plans for a sub to explain how something is done, or just a note for yourself for later. Usually it involves opening an app, recording the message, converting this audio to a mp3 or similar format, only then struggling trying to get it into your Google Drive to share with others. After what seems like a million steps you are ready to go. If only it could be easier. It is...with TwistedWave Online! You can store up to 1 hour of free audio (more available with premium features), and it is easy to do. Check it out!
