It’s very much a work in progress, but if you’re eager to test out voice recording on your Chromebook or other Chrome OS device, you can dive into the command prompt and make that happen. Here are the steps:
- CTRL+ALT+T to open command prompt
- Type “Shell” and hit enter
- Type “arecord > hello.wav”
- Hit enter
- Press CTRL+C to start recording
- Press CTRL+C to stop recording
- Type “aplay > hello.wav” to playback your recording
It’s not exactly groundbreaking, but it’s a fun little feature to test out. I’m sure, based on how far Google has come with voice on products like Android, that voice recording on Chrome will get caught up to speed very, very quickly.
