Following updates for Paint, Clock, Notepad, Task Manager, Snipping Tool, Photos, Your Phone (Phone Link), and Media Player, Microsoft announced a redesign for another stock Windows 11 app. It is now time for Voice Recorder to get some love from Microsoft in the form of a brand-new Windows 11-like UI and an updated name.

The new Sound Recorder app for Windows 11
Voice Recorder is now Sound Recorder for Windows Insiders in the Dev channel, and the update is available in the Microsoft Store for public testing. The latest version dumps the outdated Windows 10-like design for a more modern and stylish look with new icons, controls, and layouts. Design-wise, there is also a new visualization for audio during recording and playback that looks somewhat iOS-inspired but beautiful and fitting nonetheless.

The refreshed UI is not the only treat Windows Insiders get with this update. Microsoft also addressed one of the most popular requests, adding the option to change the recording device and select file format within the app. If you have several microphones connected to your PC, you can choose the one you need directly on the app's main screen. Different recording formats are available in the settings, and you can pick m4a, mp3, wma, flac, and wav. Sound Recorder also allows you to change audio quality and select the theme (light, dark, or system).
