Voice recordings can have many audio formats. Depending on how you wish to use your recording, you may need to convert it to a different file format. The MP3 format is a common audio file format, useable in a variety of settings. The AMR file format is a standard file type for audio on many mobile devices. Finally, Android VLC files encompass a wide variety of file types, including MP3, AMR and many other audio formats.

Download a conversion program that converts to your desired format. Mobile Media Converter can convert a number of file types into MP3 or AMR files. AVS Audio Converter can also convert a number of different file types into MP3 or AMR files. Lastly, Allok MP3 to AMR Converter can convert your voice recordings into MP3 or AMR files. Both AVS Audio Converter and Allok MP3 to AMR Converter function in a limited capacity until you purchase a licensed version.

Open your conversion program and select the voice recording file that you wish to convert. Most conversion programs have a button for adding a file to the conversion queue. In Mobile Media Converter, this button looks like a plus sign with the word "File" next to it. In AVS Audio Converter, this button reads "Add File." In Allok MP3 to AMR Converter, this button reads "Add."

Select the output format for the conversion.

Select the output folder for your recording in the Output Folder field. This is the location to which your converted file will be saved.

Click the "Convert" button to begin the conversion process. The program will alert you when the process is completed.
