I'd like to suggest a built-in voice recorder for both the web version and IOS app.

The purpose would be to conveniently be able to read out the prompts and record one's voice, and compare that to the audio files that are already on Skritter.

I have a voice recorder and can use that, but it would be much more convenient to be able to just press a button to record/listen, and then move on and not have to rewind the recordings like with most voice recorders.

Chinesepod has recently added this to their IOS app and I think it's a great addition and I find myself recording my voice much more than I used to

Seems like this, although possibly useful, is on the edge of relevance to our main app focus and wouldn't really fit the aim of keeping the iOS app focused (and the web app is bad enough at that already).

alright, no worries. It would actually probably be much better for users who are in the newbie, elementary, and intermediate phases, rather than for those like me who have been studying Chinese for about 8/9 years. I say that because a feature like the one I suggested would only be good for items that have a sound file that one can be compared to voice recordings, so it would be great for people learning 国家， 电脑，筷子， but not for people who are doing low frequency words/idioms that probably don't have sound files, like 人靠衣裳马靠鞍 or 神龙见首不见尾
