Hello,
Is there an app that lets u record incoming / outgoing conversations or use as a recorder in general? It can be activated manually and mapped to a key or something?
Yes before you tell me to search I got this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421652 but this doesnt really help. I found "Resco Audio Recorder" but doesn't look all that good (http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/audiorecorder/default.asp), does anyone have recommendations?
Freeware is best but if its really good, i gues I can pay for it.
thanks

I'm not sure why you thought the Resco Audio Recorder "doesn't look all that good." I use it on my 8525 (still waiting for the Fuze) with very good results. It has a lot of capabilities -- you can record fairly high fidelity to MP3, for instance, or get really compact voice recordings using the Speex format (there are other supported formats, too); it's got built-in digital signal processing for automatic volume control and noise reduction; voice-activated recording; smart display-blanking to save battery; bookmarks in recordings; etc., etc. It's a really nice, capable application, and it's hard to imagine what else one might want or need in a recorder.

thanks for that, in the thread I posted above, the ppl here said that it cannot record both sides of the converations in a call... can you confirm that it does and it can also start automatically or if u want with a press of a button? thanks for helping out.
nothing can record both sides of the conversation on touch pro (for now atleast)
resco audio recorder works well on my atom exec

The Resco recorder does record both sides of a conversation, but only on phones that make the incoming side available; it's my understanding from the responses in that thread (which I initiated, BTW) that the Touch Pro is not one of those phones. (I'll be checking that out for myself very shortly after I get my Fuze, hopefully within the next week.) I don't think that's any different from any other recorder software that's available.
It can be set up to record conversations automatically or at the press of a button (although I'm not sure how well that will work with the Touch Pro, as buttons are in very short supply), and it will record both sides of the conversation if you are using the speakerphone. And for all other uses (lectures, concerts, dictation, etc.) it's very nice. It's just a hardware limitation, not a software problem, that prevents use of the recorder for capturing the incoming side of normal phone conversations.
thanks friend... I'll do more research before I act... if by that time u have tested it out, do let me know. thanks v much~! u've been a super help.
Well, if you use the speaker phone the integrated note function can take audio recordings as well though the sound is not very good. It also works on normal phone calls, but the remote side is at very low volume.

I downloaded the trial for "Audio Notes".
Working great so far. Records both ends of the conversation on both incoming and outgoing calls. Also takes memos through either mouthpiece or speakerphone.
You can tell it what quality you want to record and where to record to.
It also labels the recording according to the name of the person you talked to.
Good stuff.
This is Vito AudioNotes you are referring to? If so, that's great to hear; it's a bit bare-bones compared to Resco, but it's inexpensive. If both-sides recording works with Vito, that means it probably would with Resco, too, but if not, I'm willing to pay for both use Vito for phone recording and Resco for everything else. Thanks for the info!

Just to clearify, does it work on "the usual conversations" I mean, the normal way u talk on the phone, NOT speakerphone?
Cause we all know there's quiet a few sw that works in speakerphone mode and that simply doesn't cut it.
It MUST work when u are using it "normally"
Yeah. It's vito audio notes 1.32
It works with normal (non speaker phone) phone calls.
Actually, I'm not sure if it works with speakerphone too.. I haven't tried that yet. Will do that in a bit to make sure.
What's better about Resco? *edit: nevermind. I just looked at the screenshots of resco audio recorder. It does look nicer. Has more features too... But honestly... the vito program is really nice, and simple to use.
By the way. I'm using the Sprint Touch Pro... so I can't say for sure whether or not this prog works with the other versions. Either way, there's a free trial you can use... so no harm in trying it out first.
last i heard, audionotes didnt work...

Maybe not for some... But my Sprint model Touch Pro works perfectly...
Abd again, there's a free trial of it... so nothing's lost if it doesn't work for you.
I don't work for the company either, so I'm definitely not trying to sell
anyone. I really don't care actually. Just thought I'd post up how well the program
is working for me so far.

Yeah, same here, thx for the tip!
BTW, just a quick Q: I doesn't have that annoying "beep" every now and then? So the person at the other end can here that you're recording?
I also have a Sprint Touch Pro and after reading this thread, I downloaded a trial of Vito 1.32 to give this a try.
Just as background, I'm a former Treo user (Palm OS) and the hardware supported recording of both sides of a phone conversation in very clear audio. This was most evident when listening to recordings (on a headset), one side of the conversation is heard in the left ear and the other in the right ear.
Now as for Vito on the Sprint Touch Pro, here's what I've observed:
When using the the phone normally (i.e. holding the device to your ear), the software does record both sides of the conversation. It does so in a manner that plays both sides of the conversation back in the left ear (when wearing headphones). My opinion is that the loudness of the earpiece allows this software to record the "other end" of the call in a manner similar to the "speakerphone method". The quality of the "other end" of the conversation is significantly lower than my end of the conversation. So it would seem that the hardware on the Touch Pro doesn't completely support this. Another indicator of this is that it only records my end of the conversation when I record a call using the included HTC headset.
So the verdict is that it does work, but I still think there's a hardware obstacle. I'm a headset kinda guy, so I guess I'm out of luck. Hope this helps.
That's not good.
I'll probably be getting a stereo bt headset soon, so that's going to be a problem.
Too bad there's no individual (in/out) volume control...

Thx for your input m8!
So I suppose it won't work with a bluetooth headset neither.
Anyway, I'm glad it works without(?) beeps in the normal mode, in that case you'll have the time to snap off the headset if you see that the incomming call is from that person you'd like to record.
well phonecalls come through in mono, so i cant imagine it working through both speakers

Is there a way to record the phone conversation directly? This would be great if someone could add a button when your in a call to do so.. I tried the sound recorder in the notes app but it doesn't sound clear
You can hold down button 4. That will turn on the recorder
I tried that but it said phone is busy when I'm in a phone call, and the other recorder in the notes app sounds like its not recording the sound coming from the ear piece but only external sound.
I am also intrested in such an app if there is available
Please post it here

Turn on the speakerphone (loud enough) to record the earpiece voice.
So far, I find no Windows Mobile machine can record directly from the earpiece.
Try VITO Audio Notes.
Well, thats what I did. I turned the speaker phone on, but it would still be better if there was a way to do it directly without speaker phone.. Ah well, cant have everything..
In HTC Touch aka elf there is a option
although I don't know about others...
While in a phone conversation you should select the option to create a note.
Next there is screen for you to take notes as drawing or text or anything for that matter. But here's the trick in the right side menu there is a option called "View Recording Toolbar" click on it you will see a recording bar where you can record your conversation.
I have used this one to record a phone number my friend was giving me.
I haven't used it much and don't know the shortcomings or advantages of it.
But it does help....
Just check it out

I installed that but the voice is too low and it starts to record only after a few secs .
I can get the same results using the Voice recorder
It`s incredible that there is no software that can properly auto record conversations
I need something that has some kind of control over volume of what my niki's mic pics up. Recording my band practices or gigs results in inaudable distortion.
Anything with a fader or some kind and some sort of monitoring to see if its the sound wave is peaking.
Is there anything out there, i'm having a hard time finding something. Ive tried resco audio recorder 4 but theres no control over input volume.
bump......
ALWAYS check out the Wiki first, it has a dedicated subpage: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Audio and call recording, answering machines
Start with http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Sound Recorder Bible if you need a full overview; otherwise, I recommend either VITO's app or Resco's.
thanks a lot, i look through there and must have missed vitos soundexplorer.
it has exactly what i was looking for thanks a lot.
I am going to buy diamond, just like to know can i use resco audio recorder to record both side of conversation, because in my Kaiser i can only record my side. so please can anyone test this for me i really appreciate

This has been discussed a lot here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424262
And in my experience diamond only records through microphone. so if the other side voice is loud or speakerphone open and you are in a silent room you can properly record audio. or else you can't record other side's sound properly.

No. I have installed Vito Audio Note and it can record both side conversation. The sound of counterpart is a bit quiet than my voice, but at least it can record both side.
It can record only microphone. You can try it when using handsfree. The app. would record only your voice. Yes it will record the other part voice, but you have to switch the call to loudspeaker mode. That is why the other part voice is weak (it records what can be heard off the speaker...)
I am trying to test the microphone on the GTab. I sideloaded fring and tried to make a test call. The microphone was all crackly. Not useable. Is there another app to try to test the mic? What I want to know is if it is the device or fring. I tried to get Yahoo Messenger with the Video app but I haven't been able to find the apk anywhere that is the current version.
how about the sound recorder that's included in the GAPPs file?

I was also going to suggest as the quickest check... or Rehersal Assistant from the Market if you want to really test sound quality better saving a raw uncompressed audio file for playback on tab or elsewhere...
Microphone Sucks
I purchased this in part to perhaps do video conferencing. I tried the sound recorder with the unit at arms length distance and tried to record my voice. It was so faint through the speakers with my normal speaking voice I could hardly tell that I had recorded anything. This is not a good sign. Even talking way loud (shooting), it was barely audible through the speakers with the volume at 100 percent. Now that may not be how someone would perceive it in a video chat application but I don't have high hopes.
Anyone else record anything through the microphone? Is there any other approach that would work (Bluetooth Headset)?
i have Talking Tom open at my desk while im at work because it entertains me when i yell at my employees
i notice no issues with volume or quality
Dear all,
I did the most silly thing I've ever done in my life with trying to reset my transformer by setting a pin in the... microphone entry. I've had to many wmobile phones and I hadn't read the manual.
Hopefully I didn't push like a donkey and the microphone is still working.
But I'm quite a paranoid and I'd like to check if my microphone has been damaged because now that I'm paying attention to its quality, I noticed that the sss sounds look more like "sh" sounds.
Could someone please kindly upload a microphone sample with some speaking with some "sss" in order for me to compare?
Thank you!
Regards
Excalius
Boy,
nobody wants to take 30 secs to help? I posted here the sound sample I take when speaking really low.
I just cant send you the file because I'm too new on this website.
just hit filedropper.com and follow by
/recording-20110519-031504_1
Please tell me if you see a similar problem on your device and send a sample from it.
Yours has a kind of background whirring noise to it, don't know if thats a pc fan in the background or the mic broken, but mine isnt like that.
And you also sound very quiet, but you may just be further away from your device than I was from mine when I tested it.
I couldnt find where the default recording app saved the files so I used an app called PCM recorder to record it at 48000Hz. Whatever app you used to record your clip, created it in a very poor audio quality. It has a kind of 'underwater' sound quality, which is common with low bitrate recordings.
Oh and you'll have to take my word for it as I'm not posting an audio clip.
Ok thank you.
And there,

do you still hear an anormal buzzing sound? You really can't send me a recording without speaking just to hear your sound?
And the shh are present with you too?
