How to Transfer Audio Files from Voxie Pro to your PC
I use Voxie Pro on my iPod Touch to record audio files using my TouchMic.com MityMic microphone. I then edit these files and convert them into MP3 format using Audacity on our PC. A question I have been asked a couple of times is how to transfer audio files from Voxie on the iPod Touch (or iPhone) onto the PC. This post tells you how.
There may be other ways of doing this, but the way I know requires both your iPod Touch and your PC to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. In my case we have a wireless ADSL modem at home that we use to connect our home PC, my work laptop, and my iPod Touch to our home broadband internet.
1. Record the audio file in Voxie (refer to my post iPod Touch MityMic Review and Audio Samples for more details).
2. In Voxie select the VoxieSync button as shown below:
3. Voxie will present a screen with an IP address. On my iPod Touch it states http://10.1.1.3.8080 (but this may differ from time to time and will most likely be different on your iPod Touch or iPhone).
4. Ensuring that both your PC or laptop are connected to the same Wi-Fi network or wireless modem, type the Voxie IP address into your PC or laptop browser address line. You should get a screen that looks like the one below. In the browser, right click the name of each file that you wish to transfer to your PC or laptop and select ‘save link as…’. You can save the file as normal into the appropriate file location on your PC or laptop. The file will be saved as ‘filename.aif’.
Once you have finished transferring files, select the Finish button in Voxie on your iPod Touch of iPhone. With the audio file(s) on your PC or laptop you can now open and edit these files in Audacity or another audio file editor of your choice.

Hi Jessica
Good question. I found an excellent help page on the FAQs at Bottle Rocket – the makers of Voxie. If you haven’t already then try out some of the suggestions on this page http://bottlerocketapps.zendesk.com/forums/25424/entries/15238.
I tend to use Google Chrome as my browser and have had problems with transferring Voxie files using this browser (which Bottle Rocket note on this page). So ensure you are using IE, Firefox, Safari etc.
The other thing you need to ensure is that both your PC/Mac and iPhone/Touch are connected to the same network / wireless modem. Bottle Rocket note this as the most common reason for problems. The page referenced above gives some ways to check whether your PC/Mac and iPhone/Touch are on the same network / wireless modem.
The page gives additional suggestions too. Let me know if the above reference page doesn’t help.

I really appreciate your opinion on the TouchMic MityMic and Voxie, so much so that I purchased both of them. However, I am not able to wireless sync no matter how hard I try. Do you have any helpful suggesstions? I have tried everything and have looked all over the web for help.
