sound recorder

Voice capture device

A sound recorder is a device or software that captures and stores audio.

The term covers everything from professional studio equipment to smartphone apps: I used a sound recorder to capture the interview.

In film and television production, a sound recorder is also the person responsible for recording audio on set.
