which should already be set up and working before you use this helper app.


Summary: Swipe up/down/left/right to Record/Pause/Stop/Play.

TalkBack users: these gestures will not make any sound, removing the danger of TalkBack sounds appearing in recordings. TalkBack users can use just one finger to draw gestures, making it really easy to use just your thumb to control recording while holding phone in one hand. See TalkBack section below.

Note: Amazing MP3 Recorder and Hi-Res Audio Recorder apps also have a built-in drawing surface (Click Settings - Show/Hide apps - Gesture Overlay), but it is smaller in size.



Gestures

Press down on screen near the bottom of the screen and slowly move up to the top (swipe up gesture) - to Record. Swipe down to Pause. Swipe left to Stop. Swipe right to Play last recording.

In the beginning, you should do these gestures slowly to ensure they work correctly.

Once you are comfortable with what gestures work and which don't, you will be able to make much faster gestures, without thinking.

Note: it is safe to tap on the screen - since short gestures will be ignored.


TalkBack and other screen reader users

TalkBack users can use just 1 finger to make the gestures.

It may take some practice to draw some gestures for TalkBack users, because of the slowness of touch events being delivered to apps when TalkBack is on.

To practice, first press 1 finger and hold for 1 second, and then swipe up, and hold for 1 second again before removing finger from screen. Once you know it works, you will eventually be able to draw these gestures just with your thumb while holding your phone in one hand.

TalkBack users can also use 2 finger gestures if they want.

Normally TalkBack users have to use two fingers to draw in drawing apps, however we have added ability to do that with just one finger for TalkBack users.


Vibration & Sound Feedback

Vibration Feedback is On by default in Amazing MP3 Recorder. You will sense vibration feedback because Amazing MP3 Recorder will be vibrating to indicate recording state.

For Sound Feedback settings in Amazing MP3 Recorder, click Settings - Vibration & Sound. Try different settings for Audio Channel there to get the best sound (this can vary by device).

If vibrations are appearing in your recording, go to settings in Amazing MP3 Recorder and click Vibration & Sound - and increase Record Delay setting, or reduce Vibration Duration setting.


Best practices

This Gestures app is full screen (covers even the notification area), and has no buttons, so you have more space to draw gestures, without any risk of touching buttons during recording.

To others it will appear as a black screen, with Android Back and Home buttons visible at bottom. Amazing MP3 Recorder will show a notification when recording.

Amazing MP3 Recorder users can set up the Run App buttons to point directly to this app. This way if you feel you need a simpler interface, you can just switch to this Gestures app right from Amazing MP3 Recorder. Press Back to return to Amazing MP3 Recorder.



Troubleshooting

If you restart your phone, and start to use gestures immediately, they may not work (since the android device is still setting things up). So give your device time to stabilize after a boot.

When you start the app, the focus will be on the main view. If focus moves to the Back or other buttons at the bottom, you can move focus back by just clicking on the main view (just touching will not be seen as a gesture).

While the app is on screen, the screen will remain on - so no interruptions from the lock screen.
