Vocaroo
Vocaroo is an online recording service. You're able to record audio and insert it into your Google Applications.
How long is the recording saved?
Vocaroo does not provide permanent storage. There is not a definite age at which messages are deleted, however it is likely messages will expire after a few months. If a message is important you should download and save it to your own computer as soon as possible to avoid losing it.
How long can a recording be?
There is no limit.
