It's not "considered speech".
1A says:
> Congress shall make no law [religion stuff]; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
It's part of the overall combined notion of "speech, press, assembly, and petition"

> how can recording something be considered speech
You have to go back and understand the jurisprudence of US courts a long time to understand it. Basically you can't take the word "speech" too literally; it could be literal speech or the ability to assemble/protest, or the ability write a book, or the ability to spend money on a political election (what the sane world calls bribery far more than the USA does).
But how can recording something be considered speech?!
