The question is in the title, but is there an iPhone app (free or paid) that will let me make a voice recording using the iPhone microphone, re-record it if necessary, and then email the resulting wav or MP3 file to someone. Ideally the whole process should be simple (vs. navigating some directory structure to find the file). Bonus points if I can do simple editing of the file before emailing it (trimming the beginning or end). I know that there is the Dragon App, which lets you email a trascription of a recording, but I’m looking for something that will let you email the recording itself. Thanks! ---

The built in “Voice Memo” app, included in OS 3, does this. Just make a recording, select it, and hit “Share”. The option to email appears there. ---

QuickVoice would appear to do that, although I am always leery of apps that are all-or-nothing on the reviews (all 5’s and all 1’s).
