| How to Record a Voice Memo on an iPhone Posted: 20 Oct 2017 09:00 AM PDT Your iPhone includes a Voice Memos app, which allows you to record and edit audio memos. You can use this for taking personal memos, recording class lectures, and more. After recording a memo, you can trim it to remove dead air or unimportant information. You can also share your memos by sending the audio file through your email or messaging apps. EditSending Audio Notes in Messages - Open your Messages app. You can send quick audio notes to your iMessage contacts using the Messages app.
- Open a conversation with someone. You'll need to be chatting with another iMessage user in order to send audio notes. Check the messages in the conversation and the title bar. If they are green, you are not chatting via iMessage. If they are blue, you will be able to send audio messages.
- Press and hold the microphone button next to the iMessage field. This microphone button only appears when you're chatting with another iMessage user.
- Record your audio note while holding down the microphone button. You'll continue to record for as long as you're holding the button.
- Slide your finger up to the Send button to send the note. This will immediately send the audio note to the other person. If you want to cancel instead, release your finger then tap the "X" next to your recording.
EditRecording a Memo - Open the Voice Memos app. You can find this on one of your Home screens. It may be in a folder labeled "Extras." The icon looks like sound graph on a white background.
- You can also hold the Home button to launch Siri and say "Record a voice memo" to start the app.
- Tap the Record button to begin recording. This will immediately begin recording using your iPhone's microphone. You'll get the best results if the source of the sound you're recording is physically close to your iPhone.
- You may get better recordings if you use the Apple earbuds with the microphone built into the cable. You'll need this if you're using an iPod Touch, which doesn't have a built-in microphone.
- If your iPhone has a protective case, it may be hampering the microphone. Remove the iPhone from the case for the best recording performance.
- Tap the Record button again to pause the recording. You can pause and restart your recording as many times as you'd like.
- Tap "Done" after stopping a recording to save it. You'll be prompted to give the recording a name. Type a name and tap "Save" to save it to your list of recordings.[1]
- There is no practical limit to the length of recordings, though eventually you may run out of space on your iPhone if your recording is extra long. Recordings are essentially 480 KB per minute, meaning an hour-long recording would take approximately 30 MB.[2]
EditTrimming a Memo - Tap a recording in your Voice Memo list to open it. You'll find this list when you launch the Voice Memos app. You can trim your recordings to get rid of parts that you don't need, or to split a long recording into multiple parts.
- Tap the "Edit" button underneath your selected recording. This only appears when you've selected it.
- Tap the blue box to open Trim mode. You'll see red bars appear at each end of the recording.
- Drag the red bars to set a new start and end point for the recording. You can tap and drag each bar to change where the recording will start and end. Use this to get rid of dead air at the beginning or end of a recording, or to select the part of the recording you want to turn into a new file.
- You can trim multiple times to get the results you want. For example, you could trim once to get rid of dead air at the start of the recording, then trim again to get rid of dead air at the end. You could then trim a section of the recording and create a new file from it.
- Tap "Trim" when you're finished setting new starting and ending points. This will prompt you to either create a new recording from the trimmed portion, or to overwrite the original.
- When you choose to create a new recording, the portion of the recording you selected with the Trim tool will be turned into a new file, and the original will remain unchanged.
- If you choose to overwrite the original, only what you selected with the Trim tool will remain.
EditSharing Memo Files - Open the memo you want to share from the Voice Memos app. You'll see a list of memos when you open the Voice Memos app. You can send your memo files to other people from the Voice Memos app. The file will be sent in M4A format, which can be played on virtually any modern device that supports audio files.
- Tap the Share button. You'll find this beneath the recording after you select it. It looks like a square with an arrow coming out of the top.
- Select how you want to share the memo. You can send the file using Mail, Messages, or by using any other messaging apps installed on your device. If you don't see the messaging app you want to use, tap the "..." button and then toggle the app on.
- Transfer your voice memos to your computer. You can save your voice memos to your computer by using iTunes.[3]

| How to Scale a Fish Posted: 20 Oct 2017 01:00 AM PDT If you like to fish or simply like to eat fish, you may need to know how to scale one. Many fish markets and grocery stores sell whole fish that you have to clean yourself. Whether you're outdoors or in your kitchen, scaling a fish is a relatively easy process! Cover your work area with newspaper and use the blunt edge of a knife to scrape the scales off both sides of the fish. Rinse any remaining scales away with cold water. EditRinsing the Fish - Rinse slime off the fish with cold water. Before you start trying to scale the fish, rinse it well under cold water. This removes the slime on the scales. Fish can be slippery and difficult to hold, especially when they're still slimy. Rinse it off so you can grip the fish firmly.[1]
- Let the water run for several minutes to loosen the scales. After you've removed the slime, keep rinsing the fish. You can hold it yourself, or leave the fish sitting under the running water while you take care of other things. This will help loosen the scales on the fish.[2]
- Be sure to rinse both sides thoroughly.
- Place the fish on a protective layer. Lay down some sort of protection that will catch the scales when you remove them. Scales are very messy, so you don't want them to get everywhere. Choose something you can throw directly in the trash. That way, cleanup will be a snap.[3]
- Newspaper, parchment paper, and cardboard are all good choices.
EditScraping off the Scales - Hold the fish firmly by the tail in your non-dominant hand. Keep the fish flat on the surface, but grab hold of the tail so it won't slip around when you start removing scales. You may want to put on a pair of disposable gloves to protect your hands. Scales and fins can be sharp.
- Take a knife in your dominant hand and turn it to the blunt edge. To remove scales, use the blunt edge of the knife instead of the sharp edge. Hold the blunt edge at a 45 degree angle. Place the blunt edge right up against the fish's skin near it's tail fin.[4]
- Scrape the side of the fish from the tail to the head. Rake the backside of the knife along the side of the fish, moving from its tail to its head. Make long, even strokes. You'll need to apply a little pressure, but not much. As you scrape, the scales will start popping off. It's going to get a bit messy!
- Continue until that side of the fish has no remaining scales.
- Flip the fish over and repeat on the other side.
- Rinse away any remaining scales with cold water. After you have removed all the scales you can with the knife, hold the fish under cold running water. The water should help get rid of any scales that are still on the fish. Keep rinsing until no scales remain.[5]
EditScaling with Other Techniques - Remove the skin prior to cooking. Cut the fish open. Use a knife to remove all of the skin, including the scales. Try to cut the fish as close to the skin as possible so you don't waste any fish. That way, you can bypass the scaling process completely.[6]
- Cook the fish before removing the skin. You can cook the fish with the scales and skin still attached. After your fish is done, remove the skin. It will be loosened by the heat and you can cut it off pretty easily. The scales will come off with the skin.[7]
- This works for all types of cooking methods.
- Use a fish scaler instead of a knife. A scaler is a special tool made just for scaling fish. It has jagged metal edges and looks sort of like an extreme hair brush! Use the scaler instead of a knife, scraping along each side of the fish from tail to head.[8]
- You can buy fish scalers online or in stores that carry kitchen accessories.
EditThings You'll Need - Protective covering (newspaper, parchment paper, etc.)
- Disposable gloves
- Access to cold running water
- Sharp knife
