Make voice recorder

Hi everyone
I decided to make a voice recorder.
I know that I need a 44.1 kHz sample rate to cover the entire range of human hearing.
stm32f103 has 5MSPS ADC, can I use this?

You can try using an Electret_microphone on the ADC, a transistor pre-amp may be needed, u'd need to test that. The stm32 ADC has high sample rates into the 1-2 million samples per sec. So you can experiment with the sample rates easily.

Humans can detect sounds in a frequency range from about 20 Hz to 20 kHz. (Human infants can actually hear frequencies slightly higher than 20 kHz, but lose some high-frequency sensitivity as they mature; the upper limit in average adults is often closer to 15–17 kHz.)

Thanks for your reply
One more question: How to select STM ADC sample rate in Arduino IDE?

If sample rates isn't too high say < 100 ksps, you can try using a hardware timer to drive sampling and do an analogRead(pin), what is important is to set the pin mode pinMode(pin, INPUT_ANALOG); . analogRead() may be slow, if that is the case check the ref manual for your chip and figure out how to read the adc register, reading the register directly along with a timer can normally drive sample rates up to some 500 ksps.

using a hardware timer lets you fine tune your sample rates to high precision, nearly any sample rates you want. but the timer interrupt normally can't fire faster than 500 ksps.
