Pixel Journal Update Hints at Audio Recording and Adds Zip Export
The Pixel Journal app is showing early signs that it will support audio recordings through a Google Recorder integration. Its latest update also brings a new export option that backs up all your journal contents in a single zip file.
Audio recording options are starting to appear in Pixel Journal
Pixel Journal already lets you add your location, photos, and activities via Health Connect to your personal diary. What has been missing is the option to add your own voice recordings.
In the latest version, a Record new audio option now appears in the Add item section. You can reach it through the plus menu from a journal entry, as reported by 9to5Google.
The app also contains references to adding existing voice recordings and transcripts. That suggests the Google Recorder integration won't stop at recording new audio. The feature is still at an early stage, so it's unclear when it will be fully available.
Export your whole journal to a zip file
Pixel Journal is a journaling app exclusive to Pixel devices. With this update, it gets an export option that backs up all your content in one zip file.
If you're a Pixel user who journals regularly, the export option gives you a backup copy of your personal notes. And if the Google Recorder integration does launch, your journal could hold voice as well as text and photos.
