Ready for freak out? PhonoPaper is a android app which allows us to create sounds as well as music and print those sounds on paper, to reproduce it by scanning the print we have made. Its Russian developer, Alexander Zolotov, also creator of the synthesizer sunvox and the simulator Virtual ANS, has launched its application that shows us the sounds graphically.
In this way, users will be able to print on images, sounds and melodies, then scan them from the paper and reproduce them as a sound. Do you still have doubts about how it works and what really makes this app unique? Click on “read more” to see details, link and video.

One of the most attractive functions that we can find in PhonoPaper is the possibility of drawing on paper the sound that comes to mind, then scanning and reproducing it with the android app. Best of all, we can control the speed and reverse playback and make scratching, a very popular technique in the world of DJ and hip-hop.
All this makes the app more than just a music tool, as it is also ideal for artists who are looking to experiment with new sounds.
We can say that the Android app is a sound scanner that, once installed on our Android device, has the ability to read the speed that is marked or in the direction that we want, they are sound waves printed on paper. Without a doubt, it is a very interesting Android application and different from the rest, since we can write the sound that we want to hear and best of all, we can use it through any Android device.
To scan from our phone or tablet, we must capture the paper where the sound is, it converts the image into audio using the code generator of PhonoPaper, this is analog, so it is not as sensitive to the different distortions that the image can have, such as a dark image or a lower number of megapixels or if the paper is wrinkled.
We can download the Android app from the Google Play and also through the following link for free:
The current version is 1.1 and its download size is only 1.8 MB and it is compatible with Android 2.3 and above.
