It&#8217;s ideal for tracking meetings, lectures, and events you want to remember.<\/p>\n<p>Reading this, you may wonder, &#8220;What&#8217;s the big deal?&#8221; You may think, &#8220;This has probably been done before.&#8221; But it hasn&#8217;t been done like this.<\/p>\n<p>Skyro creates an extremely fluid, well-designed experience, and you&#8217;ll find yourself trying to discover new ways to use it all the time.<\/p>\n<p>Founder <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/sohammondal\" target=\"_blank\">Soham Mondal<\/a> joined the consulting team at Cisco right out of college, but he found that he was really missing\u00a0out on\u00a0creating things as a software developer. To get back into the groove, he started attending the Bangalore Android User Group meetups and decided to leave Cisco in 2012 to work on Skyro full time and create his own company called\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/triveous.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Triveous<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mondal talked to us about how his own need for better audio notes has led to a beautiful new way to track life.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe title=\"Skyro voice recorder 3.0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OCY4KMO57zY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The Idea<\/h2>\n<p>Mondal said, &#8220;I take a lot of notes, mostly voice notes because I am too lazy to type or write.&#8221; While he was in the midst of learning Android and needing to take more notes, he created an audio recorder app to solve his own problem. Before he knew it, other people were starting to download his personal project, so he started to take things more seriously.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A lot of Skyro\u2019s current feature set comes from problems that our users or we face in the real world,&#8221; Mondal said. In the early stages, it was simply an audio recording app, but as Mondal and his team were using it more and more for meetings, they found that they were wanting to add images.<\/p>\n<p>With the image feature, you can simply snap a pic while you&#8217;re recording to capture visual aids in the moment. When you play back the recording, the images show up at the exact moment that you took them. When recording, you can capture audio in\u00a0mp3 or uncompressed wav formats and auto-sync with Dropbox.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In 2012, Skyro launched in beta to a limited audience at Google IO where Mondal said they &#8220;got some great feedback from a bunch of great developers.&#8221; They&#8217;ve even been featured in the Play Store.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/09191414\/skyro7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"998\" height=\"578\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3480\" src=\"http:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/09191414\/skyro7.jpg\" alt=\"skyro7\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/09191414\/skyro7.jpg 998w, https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/09191414\/skyro7.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 998px) 100vw, 998px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Navigating Audio<\/h2>\n<p>With\u00a0Skyro, Mondal wasn&#8217;t just learning how to build an <a href=\"http:\/\/thinkapps.com\/blog\/design\/flow-home-screen-app-android\/\" target=\"_blank\">app for Android<\/a>, he was also learning how the Android audio system works.<\/p>\n<p>He said, &#8220;Understanding that and navigating those constraints was probably the first challenge in the process of creating Skyro.&#8221; Apparently Android&#8217;s audio subsystem isn&#8217;t well documented, so it can take a long time to find the information you&#8217;re looking for.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike other types of app crashes, Mondal said that, when an audio app crashes, it can cause users some extra frustration. &#8220;When an audio recording app fails to record even a minute of an important conversation, odds are that you get extremely angry and are likely to curse at the app in the comments.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It would be like your camera crashing during your kid&#8217;s recital\u00a0\u2014\u00a0one of \u00a0those moments when tech fails render you hopeless.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"816\" height=\"617\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3478\" src=\"http:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/09191219\/skyro1.jpg\" alt=\"skyro1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/09191219\/skyro1.jpg 816w, https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/09191219\/skyro1.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>A Focus on Design<\/h2>\n<p>The other big challenge for Skyro was ensuring that it worked (and looked) great across multiple devices. Mondal said, &#8220;We really believe in creating a clean, simple and functional user experience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If the user experience is what draws people in, it&#8217;s the simple, thoughtful features and <a href=\"http:\/\/thinkapps.com\/blog\/design\/creating-products-users-love-designing-people-first\/\" target=\"_blank\">minimal, rich design<\/a>\u00a0that keeps them engaged.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to adding images to your recording, you can enable geo tagging and also tag your recordings with words that are helpful to you. For example, if you record your class lecture every week, you can add a new tag for each class.<\/p>\n<p>The design is a clean, card-based approach showing all of your recordings on a timeline where it&#8217;s simple to listen to the audio\u00a0and view the images in a presentation format. Only time will tell if they add a social feature, but, as it is, the app feels very personal, almost like an audio journal.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of &#8220;feed&#8221; isn&#8217;t so much an absence but a much-needed breather from all of the other socially-driven apps where you can document your\u00a0life. Although, even with the addition of a social feature, it&#8217;s certain that Mondal&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/thinkapps.com\/blog\/design\/3-websites-use-get-ui-inspiration-mobile-app\/\" target=\"_blank\">attention to detail<\/a> would keep the design feeling airy and sophisticated.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"998\" height=\"578\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3481\" src=\"http:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/09191415\/skyro6.jpg\" alt=\"skyro6\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/09191415\/skyro6.jpg 998w, https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/09191415\/skyro6.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 998px) 100vw, 998px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Why Audio?<\/h2>\n<p>A couple of weeks ago, <a href=\"http:\/\/thinkapps.com\/blog\/development\/chhirp-cord-shhout-audio-messaging\/\" target=\"_blank\">we interviewed<\/a> the founders of the audio app trio Cord, Chhirp, and Shhout. It&#8217;s clear that there&#8217;s something exciting afoot in the world of audio.<\/p>\n<p>Mondal thought that people would use Skyro most often to capture audio notes, but &#8220;[a]s time progressed, we started finding out that people tended to use it a lot for meetings, lectures, and music.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re always being surprised by how users use Skyro,&#8221; he added. &#8220;For example, very recently we had a discussion with a user who was planning to use it in a midwife healthcare scenario in Africa as part of an initiative, and that seemed very interesting.&#8221;\u00a0The app is most popular in the US, Brazil, and China.<\/p>\n<p>Sound is still a largely\u00a0untapped medium in our quest\u00a0to remember and chronicle every moment of our lives. We&#8217;re bombarded with options to capture and share visuals of important or memorable things that we&#8217;re experiencing, but audio could be a missing piece.\u00a0Mondal says,<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&#8220;Skyro helps capture, store, and search important moments in your life.&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>When a video won&#8217;t cut it and image is no good, audio is an understated way to share the moment. Maybe in the future we&#8217;ll see fewer people with selfie sticks and more people with mobile microphones.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"816\" height=\"617\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3477\" src=\"http:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/09191218\/skyro2.jpg\" alt=\"skyro2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/09191218\/skyro2.jpg 816w, https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/09191218\/skyro2.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s Next for Skyro?<\/h2>\n<p>Mondal is going to continue to focus his company Triveous on perfecting Skyro detail by detail.
