1: how can i record a phone conversation ?
2: what is the quickest way to turn on Voice record?
thanks
from reading other threads I think Windows Mobile does not support voice recording... but i could be wrong
also to make you aware there are legal issue behind recording conversations etc etc
Is there any way to record your calls with the HTC Hero?
I've looked in the menu during a call and didnt find anything... maybe there is an app for it?
Help pls
Thanks /Nofowuw
vrecord app
No Such App
There are no matches in Android Market for the search: vrecord
Try vrecorder - but look at the comments before you bother downloading. It seems that it needs to be on loudspeaker before it will work otherwise it only picks up your voice.
Try RECOROID, this app allow You to record voice memo and calls. It's automatically start when You have call in progress.
I use Ultimate Voice Recorder

hello.
I looked in the market extensively but couldn't find what I wanted. is there an app that does something similar to providing you with an option to record when a call comes in or when you call out? all of the apps seem to just record every call when the service is on. I dont know if that's a technical limitation or not.
thanks!
I'm having great success calling another android user with Google Talk (Gtalk) app in N4.
Google Talk is Google's instant messaging (IM) program, trying to compete against Skype. You can do IM, voice chat (call) and video chat.
I have heard great things about Skype-to-Skype call quality and did some research. Skype's excellent call quality attributes to primarily 2 factors. First, it uses Skype's own audio codec (SILK?). Second, Skype uses p2p protocol, which means it doesn't have many nodes to connect the 2 users. However, the biggest problem of Skype on Android is it's a major battery hog. Since Skype doesn't support push notification on Android (it does in iOS), the app needs constant polling, which drains the battery at a rate roughly 10% an hour. Usually, you will need to recharge the phone twice a day.
Here comes Google Talk. I'll discuss the pros and cons of its voice call feature.
To my knowledge, Gtalk uses iSAC codec for voice chats among several codec options, when possible. iSAC is a wideband (16kHz vs 8kHz used for phone calls) HD codec, comparable to HD G722. iSAC uses variable bit rate (10 - 52kbps). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Speech_Audio_Codec
What does this mean? You can have HD quality voice calls even on 3g. The call is crisp clear and there's almost zero latency because it uses p2p protocol (similar to Skype). If you are happy with Skype-to-Skype call quality, you will also like Gtalk.
How about battery drain? Nothing extra for most android users because your phone is already running Gtalk 24/7 by default. (If you don't plan to use Gtalk, sign out to save a little battery.) Gtalk uses push notification, which is much more efficient than constant polling.
Gtalk has several disadvantages so YMMV.
First, it doesn't call fork (ringing multiple devices simultaneously). If you want to receive gtalk call from your phone, you must sign out gtalk (gchat) from all other places including gmail and pbxes. Google is said to be working on this issue.
Second, when you accept the voice chat, the default mode is speaker phone. You need 3 clicks (menu>audio>handset earpiece) to change this every time. Silly Google.
Third, not everybody uses Gtalk. Even most android users don't use gtalk despite it's already running.
Fourth, you can't make/receive phone calls. I tried gtalk2voip but didn't like the quality.
Fifth, there's no shortcut to initiate the voice chat. Requires 3+ clicks to make a call.
Overall, if you call only a handful of people who use android, then this might be a solution that offers great quality and great battery life.
This is more of a "feature application" than a "voip alternative" of any sort in my opinion.
Way too many things to do to make a "call"..and at the same time, the recepient of the "call" also needs to have google chat like you mentioned.
Much cheaper alternative would be to just use a voip provier like skype or voip.ms.. yes the codec/quality might be worse, but I think it would be worth not having to go through hoops in order to have a voice conversation.

At the moment it cant replace "traditional" VoIP solution. Google has to allow the gmail's pstn calling feature in android app. It already has the structure to provide the service and Google just have to flip the switch.
I have asked why Google hasn't made the move yet in several forums and the consensus is Google is playing nice with the wireless carriers.
It is speculated that Google will soon provide wireless data service without voice. I believe that's when android Google talk app will be able to call and receive phone calls natively. It will be a best voip solution given the push and codec it uses.

So...why dont you just use google voice since its designed for calling. Gtalk is great for messaging and video chatting but i would choose voice for the calling.

I think you got confused. Strictly speaking, Google voice is not a VoIP service. It's a pstn call forwarding service.

Thanks for this solid post. I nearly always use google talk to text my buddies on android but havent thought about using the voice aspect of it. perhaps I should think more about that..
I have absolutely horrible sound quality during video chats on Google Talk. Video isn't great, but sound is incredibly quiet no matter how loud or close the person I'm talking to is.

I'm the OP and found Vonage Mobile will be a better solution, when you have a small number of regular callers.

In short, similar to gTalk, it provides great call quality and great battery life but much better user experience.
has anyone in toronto tried talkatone or viber or dell's fongo app? all these free voice phone apps have pretty crappy voice, the other person can never really hear you :crying:

I pressed the microphone button while in chat and it converts whatever I say into text. Can someone posts step by step instructions?

Tried this and it works fine. Easy to use and call quality seems OK so far. Would be nice to check out the gTalk function though just to compare.
Hi all,
I am using CyanogenMod 13 nightlies for my Moto X Play device. As you may aware it has inbuilt call recording option. during a call I have to ON the record call option. But I would like to do this task automatically via Tasker (if possible). means whenever I received a call or make a call it should automatically record all calls (Hope Tasker have that ability). Can you guys please help me on that. How can Tasker automatically ON the "record call" option, please share.
Regards,
Suman
India
guys any help please.
I'd say, try to auto tap on record call when current window is call screen
app totalRecall
I don't want to use any app. Just want to use my cyanogen rom which has inbuilt call recording app which works fine for me. But to record a call i has to tap the record call button during a call. Which I don't want. I want to use tasker app to automate the process for me, ie whenever I receive a call or dial a call it (tasker) automatically tap te record call button for me.

You can try using the AutoInput Plugin to automate taps
yes or u can use input tap function, better option still would be to use a call recorder which has Tasker plugin support
AutoInput is easier to use but it doesn't always work in all apps. If you are rooted however a input tap shell command will always work.
