#Griffin italk sync for mac#
I've been wrestling with a problem for a few days after applying the latest Office 2008 for Mac update (v12.1.3). Update: Microsoft's Mac business unit just set the land-speed record for turning around a fix. It's worth a shot, although it won't touch the quality of my Zoom H4 recorder, of course. I plan to play with the app in Barcelona next week and test the audio quality to see if it's really good enough for on-the-spot interviews for the podcast. While copying the file via the sync program, the iPhone shows you the status and progress:Īnd finally you have the files on your Mac (or soon on a PC), in. When you load up the Mac sync client app (a small and quick install) and start the iPhone app on the same wireless network, you'll be prompted to allows the sync client to access your iPhone's recordings. You'll end up with a file (or more than one if you record multiple times) showing in the recording list. Click the green button to stop recording. The VU meter shows your audio levels live. The green button means you're actively recording. Provide a file name, select the recording quality, and start recording by clicking the Big Red Button: It could realistically be used for man-on-the-street style interviews. The best quality setting sounds pretty great. It works like a charm, is well-documented, looks great and the audio quality is user configurable. The other great app that everyone with an iPhone or second-gen iPod Touch should run and get right now (while it's free) is Griffin's iTalk and the complementary iTalk Sync client, which allows you to sync your audio recordings made with the iPhone app to your Mac (PC version coming soon) over the air via WiFi.

It's worth the install for sure, if for no other reason then just because of most of the cool things you can do with Google Earth on your Mac or PC. But for the most part its been as stable as any other complex app on the device (meaning mediocre to so-so). I should mention that it's crashed a lot on me, and that when I first installed it I had to hard-reset my phone to get anything to work. You can use touch/twist to rotate gestures on the screen, as you'd expect. It takes advantage of the GPS and accelerometer, and other than that it's, well. Google earth on the iPhone (iTunes app store link) is pretty cool.

Add to that the news that iPhone owners now have access to AT&T WiFi hotspots for free - nice! Google Earth is - of course - free, and Griffin iTalk is free for a limited time, along with it's Mac client (for syncing). In the just past couple days, Google Earth and a voice recording application from Griffin have both been released for the iPhone.

Typing Genius runs you through simple, short exercises just like your high school touch-typing class, starting with localized keys and gradually spreading out.It's been an interesting and exciting few days in iPhone land. Ridiculous? Maybe to you, but after missing my third taxi because of trying to add the goddamn apostrophe to "he'll" so it doesn't come out "hell," I figured the $1.99 might be worth it. I'm hoping the solution lies in Gary Fung's Typing Genius, a typing tutorial/exerciser meant to build your iPhone typing speed. I have gotten really good at finding horizontal surfaces to rest my coffee on. With the beautifully tactile keypad of my old Motorola e815 and T9, I could quickly text one-handed while walking, like a New Yorker should, leaving one hand free for coffee and one eyeball free to scan for taxis the iPhone requires stopping and focusing-anathema to an impatient multitasker in transit. To crank out messages with any kind of speed I need both hands on it, and I still make frequent mistakes.
