Need an audio to text app...

I love irecordmusic where it is directly on the window for what I want to record, but I want it on my iPhone. Anyone know of anything?

Did you know...

Earthquakes shorten the length of our day. The Chilean earthquake shortened our day by 1.27 millionths of a second. (I don't think you need to change your clock) The way I best understand why and how this happens is that when there is an earthquake, the core of the earth tightens in around itself. This causes the earth to rotate faster, much like a figure skater (which I used to be for a dozen + years)... when a skater does a spin, they want to make it as tight as possible to go the fastest. So if the Earth tightens and rotates faster, it takes less time for the Earth to complete its day. Therefore, the day is shorter. The 2004 Sumatran earthquake, which measured 9.1, caused the day to be shortened by nearly 7 millionths of a second. Pretty interesting, eh?
