Adding tags and appending new sections to an existing recording is simple in the free Smart Recorder Lite voice-recording app for the iPad. You can also adjust the volume, scroll the audio playback via a slider control, append a recording, insert a tag, export a recording, or delete the recording. Controls in the main playback window let you choose one of five pitches: slow, normal, fast, faster, and fastest. The recording start and stop points are listed in the left pane along with any tags you've inserted in the recording. Press one of the recordings in the main window to open it in the program's playback window. Other options in the main window let you change the sort order of categories, activate the program's automatic pause feature that stops recording when no sound is heard, import recordings from Box.net or "MAPI Paste," delete a recording, or make a new recording. The two preset categories are Meetings and Memos to create a new category, press the New Category button at the bottom of the left pane.
