But current Speak version can record sounds and save recorded sounds to
the journal.

There could be one issue with setting up record volums(since 0.84 doesnt
let users control it) but it could be fixed by "alsamixer -V capture"
command from Terminal, later SoaS should store these settings between
boot sessions.
