## What it is
A React Native library for recording audio on iOS and Android using native modules. It supports configuring sample rate, channels, quality, and encoding (e.g., AAC) via a simple JavaScript API.

## Use cases
- record audio in a react native app
- capture microphone input on ios and android
- record voice memos in react native
- record audio to aac files in a mobile app
- add audio recording to a react native project

## When to choose
- you need simple audio recording in a legacy React Native app (RN <= 0.60 era)
- you want a lightweight recorder with configurable format and quality
- you only need recording, not playback

## When to avoid
- you are on a modern React Native version with new architecture
- you need actively maintained software with issue support
- you need audio playback as well (use react-native-sound or react-native-video)
- you need network streaming recording

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: audio-processing
- domain: mobile-development
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: react-native, audio-recording, microphone, native-module, unmaintained, audio, ios, android
