voice recordings
Spoken words preserved
Voice recordings are audio captured from human speech, preserved on tape, digital files, or other media.
The term emphasizes the human element—a voice recording of a conversation differs from a general audio recording that might capture ambient sound or music.
Voice recordings serve as evidence in legal proceedings, documentation in journalism, and personal keepsakes: She saved voice recordings of her grandfather telling stories.
