Android Conversation Recording App
A questions was asked by a friend with an Android smartphone if I knew of a simple way for him to record conversations that he was having on his phone.
He needed to create some sound files for a training program that he was putting together.
Before I gave him any suggestions, I wanted to make sure he understood that depending upon where he was when he was making the recordings, he could run into legal issues if he wasn’t careful.
If you aren’t sure what the legal stipulations might be whenever you are recording a call, it’s always best to notify all the parties on the call to be safe.
I’ve played around with various apps that offer this option, but the one that I liked best was simply called ‘Call Recorder’.
It works by floating a red dot in the corner of your device when you dial someone up.
To record the conversation, you just tap on the dot to both start and stop the recording.
Once you’re done, you can share the audio file in lots of ways and it includes info about the call, including caller ID, times and date.
There are lots of apps with the same name, so here’s the direct link: http://bit.ly/2Zkue3L
