Hey guys, welcome to a new tutorial, in this article I’m going to show you how to use your Android phone as a Mic on your computer using your Wifi connection, in case you don’t have an expensive or a high-quality Mic to record a quick video or podcast, if it’s really cold and late at night and you can’t get out to get one or can’t wait for that Amazon delivery, don’t frown! because I got you covered :D, I know it’s not a novel, so Shawky cut the fluff and just get right into it.
OK OK, so I found out about this amazing yet simple software to transfer your magical voice to your computer, having a cheap mic won’t do the job because people want to listen to a clear voice and if they don’t they won’t hesitate to hit the back button of their browser and go listen to someone else, no matter what value or information you have in that video or podcast they will run away and go find someone else.
This software is using your Android phone and connects to your computer through 3 or 4 different options, WiFi, Direct WiFi, USB, and Bluetooth, but in this tutorial, I’m gonna focus on connecting through WiFi, maybe in the future I’ll update this post with one more option like USB I’m not sure, anyway, let’s find out about this software…

Then tap the transport option to choose your desired connection method which is WiFi in my case.
Tap cancel after you finish choosing, then go back and click the play icon to start the connection.
