I’m a business owner that is needing to record phone calls with clients and
vendors. It is legal in my state to do so as long as it is a phone call in which
I’m am one of the people engaged in the conversation.
I’ve been searching for devices to do this with and so far all I’ve seen is
cheap stuff. I’ve even purchased a couple of things that haven’t worked
out very well.
I do have a little tape recorder that can be used in between the handset
and base of a corded phone which works somewhat decently, but I always
have to convert it to digital (onto my PC) which is very time consuming.
Does anyone know of a good phone, or phone system, that can record
phone calls in digital format like MP3 or WAV that works well?
Recording conversation is just as easy as pushing the record button and it automatically saves as a wav file. The limit is the size of your hard disk so you can pretty much record everything and quality is really clear.
Seems as though a hand held recorder is going to be the best way to
go since some of these others options may/may not work very well.
(I don’t have time to buy a bunch of stuff for testing)
So, I guess I need to stay with my hand held recorder that I can
plug in to my standard old school phone.
Does anyone know of a digital version of this…
(so I don’t have to record to tape, making it easier to transfer to my PC)
I use AT&T all distance calling plan as I do alot of long distance calling,
(domestically in the US only) so I don’t know if I would want to switch
to another phone service just so I can record my calls.
Seems like in today’s high tech world there would bs some quality plug
n play options out there that would work with your existing set-up.
Maybe I haven’t yet found a recorder like the one I have only digital
instead of the small cassette tape.
It’s the “2HR-1600HR VOICE-ACTIVATED TELEPHONE RECORDER AND CONFERENCE ROOM AUDIO RECORDER WITH TIME/DATE STAMP & SD CARD SLOT” for $199.00 located about half way down the page.
