This add-on changes the behavior of the reviewer’s “Record Own Voice” option in the following ways:

- Recordings are saved to the **add-on’s folder** and a GUI is provided to play or delete each card’s recordings.
- Pressing V to replay own voice plays the most recent recording associated with the current card if any.

I find this useful to quickly record my pronunciation and track my progress between reviews without having to edit the notes to add the sounds each time.

There’s no simple way to do that.

Hi abdo,  
i would want this functionality, perhaps you can develop this new addon?  
A record mode:  
When i open the back of the card, it automatically starts to record my voice and saves the file onto a specified field.  
Or alternatively just a button to instantly record to a specified field.  
This would make learning much more interesting.  
Thanks a lot

Sounds interesting. Will consider it in the future (no promises though).
