voice controlled audio recorder?

[tombenarye]

Hi all,
I want to record my voice with my Nexus 5 without touching my phone. Is there a way to do it with voice control? same goes for taking a picture or a video or a way to control apps using voice commands. (even uncomfortable solutions like an app that allows you to click a point on the screen using x,y coordinates will be enough)

If not, I would also appreciate other products (such as a smart-watch or smart-recorder) that will allow me to record myself using voice commands only.

Thanks,
Tom.

SInce you're running Android, just use Google Now voice control.

You can open an app by saying "Ok google, open X" where X is your app. Download a voice recording app - I'm sure one supports VOX (voice activation).

Hi carnageX, thanks for the reply,
It seems that the 4 recording apps I have installed use VOX only to skip silent parts in the recording.. I would really appreciate if you (or anyone else) can help me find a recording app that support voice activation to start/stop recording, as it is important for my work (in which I cannot touch my phone with my hands)
Thank you,
Tom.

Sounds like this one you can set to start/stop recording when sound is detected:

This one specifies you can set the threshold for when it begins recording:

Thanks, but this is impractical. Basically you suggest I leave this program on all the time and stay silent all the time except when I want to record my notes..

I think a recording app with integrated word recognition will be very useful and popular, and can be easily made by someone who knows how to program (utilizing a third-party word recognition app, such as utter!). I would pay 10$ for this treat

You never gave any sort of context really as to your need other than a way to automatically launch an app via voice and voice activated recording.

Sorry, I thought it was irrelevant.
I work in a biological lab and want to record my notes during work.
I can't touch my recorder during work since I handle biological samples.
I thought to use some kind of voice control app or device.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom.
