Telephone recorded

[Vino Veritas]

Does anybody know of a program for the xda that will record the phone conversation. It would be much easy to record all or part of the conversation instrad of taking notes.

Thanks

Guess waht? The XDA already does that! :D While you are talking open notes then hit the recorder icon and then the record button and there you have it conversation now being recorded. I use this quite often when consulting or troubleshooting with a client. Make sure to know the law on this matter. Here in the states you must notify the other party they are being recorded! :? Also make sure you have a large SD card and have settings in notes app default to SD. Keeping long conversations on your SD card will soon lead to a conversation not getting recorded due to lack of mem. So shuttle them on to a portable hard disk or desktop hard drive for archiving. :)

Fantastic... thanks for that. Is there anyway to make it automatic as when i am in the car (its on speaker) its hard do all of that.

Again thanks

You might want to alter the general settings, for the recorder, and choose a lower bitrate and quality. Recording phone conv in stereo and high bit rate will take up space very quickly!

[erickbryce]

as far as I know there is no way to have a sort of profile that you would in this case call speaker phone. There is a profile app out there. The only thing I know how to do is set speaker phone to default. meaning everytime you answer the phone it is in speaker phone mode. you have to then take it out of speaker phone mde if you do not wish to have your conversation public. I find it easy enough to just hold down the little green phone key for a few seconds activating the speaker phone when ever I need that function. Sorry this is an awsome device but cant do everything :wink: There are car kits you can buy that may add or activate this automatic once put in the car cradle. Sorry it's not cut and dry :?

Thanks again for the comments and for thinking about this problem for me. In short i need to have a setting so that once checked all my calls are recorded automatically. That means when i first get into the van i just check the phone record button and all i have to do is then answer the calls and they are auto recorded.

Again thanks

Hmmm, and how about a program that sits quietly in the background, records all calls, gpg-encrypts them with a supplied public key and at night uses GPRS to post them to alt.anonymous.messages ?

We live in interesting times.

[erickbryce]

Remind me to never call you :shock:

There are some macro apps online you can try that might be smart enough to run this app, start record, and end record once a call is activated and terminated. Do a Google search for pocket pc+macro? Or just hit the software sales vendors sites. What you really need is probably to pay someone to write such a program, and consult a Lawyer regarding the legalities of such an app, not to mention a .wav file that automatically plays to the caller before you start talking, letting them know they are being recorded. Whew! Anything else :mrgreen: I think the XDA can also be used as a marital aid while in vibrate mode:shock: and with some servos, a designated connection, and some Souder you could probably also dial into your home network push 1 to start the coffee maker, 2 to preheat the oven, and 3 to run the bath :mrgreen: No harm intended just expanding your idea here :D

Regarding your comment XDA-dev* I live in the US and our little Homeland Security Trio is and has probably already been doing this :shock: 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) the black shades are watching you :D

I know I'm going to hit my head for asking :oops: , but why do you need to record all your calls "In The Van" :shock: :mrgreen: Hmmm on second thought don't post that after all:mrgreen:

Cheers,
E.

Thanks every for this. I did not want to open a can of ethical worms or think and double think. I am a wine salesman and get order / addresses etc over the phone and its a real pain in the xxx to pull over jot everything down. At the moment i am using a voice recorder where i basically repeat everything into but if the xda could do it all ....

Anyway thanks for the interest and the ideas

[Zviratko]

Well in fact, you can use any programme that can record, I used something myself, but it was long ago and can't remember the name... it was capable of recording to mp3 directly

[erickbryce]

Without the use of macros, you will have to manually click the record icon in notes or set a button to begin recording once hit while you are in a call.

Zviratko is referring to the mp3 record program which I can't remember the name either :lol: :roll: but I'll post when I find it. This is a good program since MP3's are smaller in size and will use less disk space.

[Zviratko]

It was some VERY old programme for old WinCE or Pocket PC, for making voice notes...

[Vino Veritas]

The recorder program does not sound too bad or the macros... where would i get them from i am not a technical person. Or as somebody point out i could pay to get it done if it was not too much, who could do that. As for the recorder idea my current one (seperate from the xda) is on when i am in the van and is activated only it there is noice. All that means is that i drive around with the radio, another pain but ........

Again thanks and looking forward to your answers.

Here in the states you must notify the other party they are being recorded!
Actually there were only 5 states that required this when I last researched it. In most states as long as one party consents (this can be you), then it is legal. IE, it's only illegal to record someone else's conversations.

[erickbryce]

Carlos that good to know :shock:
Vino do a google search for "Pocket PC software macro(s)" and try starting there.

I was thinking about it and a temp solution until some magic software comes along set your XDA to auto answer in a certian number of rings under the Settings, Phone, More tab.

Then set one of your hardware buttons to record once pressed, under Settings, Buttons.

Now you only have to push "one" button to record your converstions :D. The program is caled mNote or NoteM. Check the online software vendors for that or just under their search option put mp3 recorder, or just mp3. It will come up. :)

[Vino Veritas]

That is a fantastic solution .... Thanks

[Vino Veritas]

I found a program on the xda hotvoice.exe does anybody know what it does and how can you execute it.

Thanks

[jeremytyers]

What I have done is maped one of the botton's the record funtion. Then I just press and hold the button while I want to record.

To get detailed, I usually just repet when the person has said, they think I'm writing it down little do they know I'm recording my voice.

I then sink to my PC later, and create a task, note, email or update an address. delete the note and then resink.

my two cents.... thinks like this is where the true value of an intigrated device is!
