Using the web app
Alongside the mobile app, VoiceQSO has a companion web app at app.voiceqso.com. Sign in with the same account and everything stays in sync: the sessions and contacts you record on your phone show up in the browser, and changes you make on the web flow back to the app.
The web app is a supplement to the mobile app, not a full replacement. It's deliberately lighter on features. You still record and log your QSOs in the mobile app; the web app is for everything that's easier on a big screen with a keyboard.
What it's good for
- Managing integrations. Setting up QRZ.com sync, Wavelog sync, and your public status page is far easier when you can paste a server URL or API key with a real keyboard.
- Reviewing and editing contacts. Open a session to see all its QSOs in a table. Add a contact, edit one (the save button reads Save Changes), or delete one.
- Exporting. Export a session to ADIF or Cabrillo from the session menu and the file downloads straight to your computer. See Exporting your log.
- Watching activity live. While you're recording on your phone, an open session shows a Live indicator and updates in real time as new contacts are extracted.
- Uploading audio you recorded elsewhere. Already have a recording from your rig, SDR, or another recorder? You can upload the file and have VoiceQSO extract the contacts from it. See Uploading an audio file below.
Uploading an audio file
If your radio setup already records your operating, you don't need the phone at all: upload the audio and let VoiceQSO extract the contacts.
- Open the session the contacts belong to and switch to its Recordings tab.
- Click Upload Audio and choose your file. Common audio formats work (m4a, mp3, wav, and so on), up to 100 MB per file.
- Click Upload. The file is processed the same way a live recording is, and extracted contacts appear in the QSOs tab as they're found.
A few things to know:
- The upload uses the session's processing mode (CQ, Pounce, or Auto), set when the session was created. There's no separate choice at upload time.
- Extraction from an uploaded file uses QSOs from your allowance, exactly like recording live. See Plans & pricing.
- The same on-air habits that help live recording help here too: clear callsigns, and contacts bookended with "CQ" and "QRZ". See Tips for the best results.
What you can't do on the web
- Record audio. Voice logging is mobile-only. The web app can show your recordings, but it doesn't capture new ones. Keep your phone next to the radio for that (see Logging QSOs), or upload a file you recorded elsewhere as described above.
Getting around
The sidebar has four areas:
- Sessions lists your sessions. Open one to find its QSOs and Recordings tabs, an Edit button, and a ⋮ menu with Export ADIF, Export Cabrillo, QRZ and Wavelog sync toggles, Force QRZ Sync and Force Wavelog Sync, and Delete Session.
- Profile holds your operator details.
- Settings is where the integrations above live, along with your notifications.
- Plan shows your subscription and credits.
