Record all telephone conversations. Applications for recording telephone conversations

Are you making important calls for work or personal projects? Do you just like long conversations and don’t always remember what you agreed on in the end? For such cases, Android smartphones provide the functionality of recording a conversation using built-in methods or using third-party applications.

Smartphones with the Android operating system have a standard call recording feature by default, but it is illegal to record the interlocutor's speech without warning him in many countries. Before the conversation, it is necessary to notify the person on the other end of the wire about the recording so that he has the opportunity to refuse to continue the conversation.

Phone manufacturers often block the call recording option at the kernel level, which means that even if this option is available, you will encounter technical limitations in the process of connecting it. Therefore, before calling the person with whom you intend to record a conversation, you need to install the recording application in advance and try to use it. If the recording turned out, then there are no restrictions on the phone, but this does not mean that you will not violate the laws of the country in which you are in this way.

Sometimes the recording application opens and even writes sound, but after that it turns out that only your voice has been preserved, and the voice of the interlocutor is not on the recording. Therefore, you need to check in advance how this or that application works.

How to record a phone conversation on Android

To record speech, many applications have been developed that are similar in functionality, but different in interface and ease of use.

Recording via voice recorder

The first thing that is easiest to turn to in such cases is the built-in application suite. Among them you can find "Dictaphone". However, speech is recorded in a way that is somewhat different from simply running the program. Activation of this function must be done directly when calling from the additional options menu.

Here's how to record a conversation with the built-in app:

Recording by third party applications

There are dozens of call recording apps available in the Play Market app store. All of them differ in functionality and, of course, ease of use.

Call/Conversation Recording Application (CallU)

The application has a number of advantages:

• the ability to save audio recordings to Dropbox cloud storage or Google Drive, protection of the recording with a pin code from listening to strangers, the ability to select contacts whose conversation to record;
• you can choose the file format (two to choose from - wav and mp3) and sound quality (this will affect the size of the saved file);
• text prompt-instruction that accompanies each settings page;
• you can add a text note to each entry by selecting the entry and then clicking the note icon;
• the appearance of the application can be changed with a set of built-in themes.

The app does its job well.

Call Recorder (Clever Mobile)

The Call Recorder application from the developer Clever Mobile is one of the simplest and most convenient in its category. The application interface is very easy to learn. Here is a list of options that are available in the application and are set in the settings:

The application starts automatically and records all conversations without the need to confirm the beginning of the recording by the user. Before a particularly important conversation, be sure to test the program, because each phone model may have its own nuances.

If the recording did not turn out as required, it is worth checking in the settings whether the entire line is written in full or only the voice of one of the participants in the conversation. The second important option to pay attention to is the file format. If the recording is interrupted or filled with extraneous sounds, try changing the file format.

Automatic Call Recorder (Appliqato)

The catalog of applications for recording a conversation can be replenished with the Automatic Call Recorder (Appliqato) program. The special convenience of this application is that the recordings can be saved not only to local storage (in a smartphone), but also directly to the "Cloud" through your Google Drive or Dropbox account. You don't have to worry about the records being lost. And you can immediately access them from other devices - from a computer or tablet. The program writes in three formats: wav, amr and 3gp.

The application is free, has two versions - basic and Pro, equipped with additional functionality.

Smart Auto Call Recorder

One more program can add to the list of applications for sound recording - Smart Auto Call Recorder. The application is not the worst, although its appearance is not very modern. Nevertheless, the rating of the application is high enough to try it on your smartphone. The main page of the application contains a list of incoming calls, where you can sort the calls by date or number. This will make it easier to navigate calls. Similar to other applications, after receiving the entry, you can leave a note to it.

Saving to the "Cloud" is available only in the paid version. There is password protection. One of the unusual features is the ability to delay recording so that the beeps do not get into the file and do not take up memory space. For long conversations, the continuous recording mode is connected. Each menu item has an explanation.

Total Recall Call Recorder

The program is not just an additional option that allows you to record a conversation, but a full-fledged voice recorder application for your smartphone. It supports as many as five recording formats - mp3, wav, 3gp, amr, mpeg4. Synchronization with many cloud services. Recordings can be password protected and even start recording remotely via SMS.

Recordings are supported in automatic and manual modes. The finished recording can be saved on a smartphone, in the Cloud, sent by e-mail or uploaded to Evernote. This program can be successfully called the most powerful in terms of functionality in comparison with other similar applications.

Of course, full call recording is not supported on all devices. On some models, you need root access to be able to save the speech of the interlocutor.

Table: list of models that need or do not need root access

How to get root rights on Android

If you find your model in the second list, then you need to get root rights.

Be careful with obtaining root rights on Android and resort to this only if you are sure that you need to record a telephone conversation, because if you obtain such rights, you deprive your smartphone of protection (the terms of the license agreement are violated, as a result of which the warranty no longer applies to the phone). You are unlikely to encounter a phone that is not working after rooting, but such cases do happen. Your phone will be defenseless against viruses, so you should immediately install an antivirus program on it.

Getting root rights through the Framaroot app

With Universal Androot App

Another option is the Universal Androot app:

1. Download the application file and install it on your smartphone.
2. Launch the application. In the only menu, select your firmware version, then click the "Go Root" button and wait for the process to finish. If all is well, you will receive a message and permissions.

Our list of applications will help the user to decide on the initial choice of application for recording. In fact, there are many more programs, they all have similar functionality and almost the same names. Therefore, when downloading an application, pay attention not only to the name, but also to the developer, the number of downloads and the rating of the application.

Modern phones have extremely wide functionality, and there are often situations when users have difficulties during their operation. As a rule, these difficulties are associated with the use of a particular program or option. For example, how to record a call.

If you encounter any difficulties in the operation of your Samsung gadgets, you can contact the Samsung service center in Moscow and other cities indicated on the site by clicking on the link and leaving a request.

How to record audio on a Samsung phone

To date, there are several methods that can be used to record telephone conversations.

Built-in call recording

Android phones have a built-in call recording feature that uses a voice recorder. On early models, you need to select the icon with the image of the cassette in the talk mode. It can be found in the "More" tab.

Newer models have made this task easier. Now you just need to turn on the recording of the conversation at the bottom of the screen of your smartphone, also in the talk mode.

But in cutting-edge Samsung models, such as the Galaxy S5, S6, S7, this feature is present in the phone, but disabled by default, since it is prohibited by law in the manufacturer's country to record a conversation.

Installation of special programs

To connect the built-in call recording option, you can install a special patch - a modification with which you can make changes to the phone's firmware. But for this you need to get root-rights that will allow you to make these very changes. A huge disadvantage is that, having received these rights, your product automatically loses any warranty from the manufacturer. Therefore, we recommend using the much simpler and safer method indicated below. If you still decide on such manipulations and you have problems, then contact the Samsung smartphone repair service center.

Using the call recording app

PlayMarket offers a wide variety of different apps for both free and paid versions. One of the most popular is Call Recorder.

By downloading and installing this application, you can record your phone conversations automatically. This will be indicated by the red recording indicator at the top of the screen.

Be careful because the free version only saves 100 entries and you will need to periodically make room for new ones. The paid version expands this functionality and allows you to record conversations, for example, with a specific subscriber.

Thus, if the built-in option for recording telephone conversations is not available on your phone, by installing any application, you can easily solve this problem for yourself.

Very often there is a need to record telephone conversations, for example, in order to later make a cut for jokes on your friends or colleagues, set a melody as a call, use an audio file in case of any legal proceedings.

Since most people prefer Android, the question arises, how to record a telephone conversation on your device, and what is needed for this, which version of the system should be installed? In this material, we will analyze all possible ways to record phone calls, regardless of the model of your device!

Recording conversations using standard Android system tools

First, let's look at ways to record using the built-in options of the system. Few people know, but you can record any conversation as soon as the connection goes. For example, you dial a subscriber's number and press the call key. As soon as the subscriber picks up the phone, you can click a special tab to record the conversation. Moreover, both you and your interlocutor will be heard in good quality in the final file.

So, how to put it into practice?

1. Go to the phone book or call list and dial the number of any person.
2. Now find the "More" tab, which will appear immediately after dialing the number.
3. After clicking, a separate menu will open in which you need the “Dict.” button. Once you click this tab, the system will automatically record your entire conversation.

Let's say that you recorded a dialogue with another subscriber, but how can you listen to it now? There are options here.

1. Go to the list of recent conversations. Those conversations for which a voice recorder was recorded will be displayed with a separate icon. Click on it to listen to the recording. This option works with both outgoing and incoming calls.
2. You can manually search for an entry on your phone. For example, on many Android phones, all conversations will be saved in the Call Recording directory. The folder can be created automatically both in the internal memory of the phone and on the SD card. In the future, you can transfer the recorded file to your computer or send it by mail, send it to social networks.

You now know how to record a telephone conversation using standard means. But, as practice shows, not all phones have such capabilities. What to do in this case? The answer is simple - use the software tools from the Google Play service. In this article we will consider several special programs!

Using the Call Recorder app

The developers of this application did not think much about the name and published it on Google Play as is -. Go to the service and enter the name of the program in the search. Next, log in under your account, allow the installation of the application and open it for further work.

First you need to set up the application a bit.

1. Immediately activate the "Enable automatic recording mode" item.
2. Next, go to the “Media Content Settings” item and change the standard AMR to WAV. As you know, the WAV format is much better than other audio formats, which is why it is preferred.
3. Go to "Audio Source" and select MIC there. That's it, setup is complete.

Now, with any call, the system will automatically record the conversation and save it in a separate folder. If you want to record only certain conversations, then specify the appropriate item in the program settings. This application has its advantages.

• You can play back the recorded conversation immediately without going to a special directory or folder.
• All entries are displayed next to the number and name of the subscriber in the call list.
• Any recording can be shared on social networks or synchronized with the Dropbox or Google Disk cloud service.

Even in the settings, you can select only certain contacts for which recording will be made or disable this option altogether. A record search system is provided to quickly find a particular file. You can store all files both in the internal memory of the phone and on the SD card.

With MP3 InCall Recorder & Voice

Another equally important program for Android is MP3 InCall Recorder & Voice. She, like the previous application, has a large number of different options and special differences. You can download it on Google Play, and there are paid and free versions. It is much cheaper than the Call Recorder app, but its interface is in a foreign language!

There is a player for listening to music files, a voice recorder, a built-in search for records and much more. The recording will be available immediately after the call is received. You simply press the green button to accept the call and click on the red microphone. In the application, you can select contact data for which recording will be carried out constantly in automatic mode. For fans of customization, an option is built in that allows you to place the microphone tab in any area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe screen.

As soon as the conversation is recorded, you can send the final file by mail, upload it to the cloud service, social networks. In the same place it will be possible to add comments to the file, edit it. Another important option is the noise level setting.

You can set a password so that no unauthorized person can activate the application on your smartphone.

We have described in detail how to record a telephone conversation on Android in three ways. Which one to use - decide for yourself! Remember that you can also be recorded in this way in order to later use this fragment for blackmail, jokes, evidence in court, so think carefully before recording a conversation with someone just for the sake of "joking" or harm.
