  • Android application Call Recorder Unlock, version: 3.0 beta07.1, price: 399 rub.

There is also a demo version of this application (limited time of use, not functionality):

  • Call Recorder Android Application - SKVALEX (Trial), Version: 3.0 beta07.1, Price: Free.

I confess that my memory does not always make me happy. I can forget something important that someone said just a moment ago, and there are reasons for that, which, perhaps, within the framework of this review should not be discussed, because it is much more important to find out how to deal with certain inconveniences with which you , dear readers, you can also encounter every day.

For myself, I decided that I need a softphone that will automatically record all conversations without exception, both incoming and outgoing. After all, personally, unfortunately, I never know exactly what information I will forget. These can be various working moments, or, for example, requests to buy certain goods in a store. You can, of course, call the interlocutor back, but this is not always convenient - in some cases I would prefer not to do this at all.

And it was here that the Call Recorder software - SKVALEX began to come to my aid, which I came to use after testing other applications that for various reasons did not suit me. Moreover, thanks to the hero of the review, I understood the root of some of the problems that I encountered in other recording software. But first things first.

To begin with, I should mention that I am currently using an ASUS ZenFone 4 Max (ZC520KL) smartphone, my review of which you can find. Only now I purchased the 3/32 GB version, and even if there are more interesting mobile devices for 9000 rubles, but I decided that the main thing is the comfort that I fully felt during the writing of the review. So, in my new smartphone, initially during a conversation, there is a button for recording a conversation, and it would seem that you can just press this button with every call and you will be happy. But this is not my way - don't forget about my memory problems ☺.

Then in the settings standard dialer I found the auto-recording feature that always worked flawlessly. For a while, I decided that the problem was fixed, but then playing back the recordings, I heard an overload that was unpleasant for my ears, making it difficult to perceive the information. No, this will not work! Moreover, the quality settings practically did not change anything, on the contrary, it could only be made worse. By the way, here is an example of a recording made on a standard ASUS ZC520KL dictaphone, and, as the topic of discussion of a smartphone on w3bsit3-dns.com showed, the sound does not suit not only me.

Starting to study third party applications, I, by chance, first of all tried to establish an ACR call recording for myself, which, despite the good functionality and a large list of recording methods, could not "absorb" at least one word from those that the interlocutors told me on the other end wires.

Then I turned to the Total Recall Call Recorder, which already perfectly recorded all the conversations. The overload disappeared, but over time, problems reappeared. So, when using headphones and after automatically locking the display, they began to disappear from the call screen somewhere virtual buttons, designed to stop and resume recording (this is the functionality of the application). There was also absolute silence in some sound files, which, of course, is unacceptable, because the dialogue was not conducted at the telepathic level ... You can, of course, mention the not very pleasant interface, but this, against the background of the previously described problems, rather looks as a subjective nagging that does not affect anything.

Sometimes an important conversation needs to be recorded. Especially if there is no way to remember to the end information, without which responsible work is impossible, for example, collecting news from news agencies to the editorial office of a newspaper, calling the authorities for instructions, and the like. Or you just need to record the call to have any proof. They will help you with this. special applications for devices based on operating system Android.

Manufacturer's technical limitations of recording telephone conversations

In some countries, recording telephone conversations is illegal. Manufacturers, instead of setting up each of the smartphone or mobile models imported into a particular country, erase the software components of the Android operating system responsible for recording telephone conversations... If none of the applications for recording a telephone conversation work, change the firmware and the Android kernel or the gadget itself.

Call Recorder, despite its high cost, is a great program. Even "treating" your smartphone, if something was missing in it, is worth it for the sake of this application.

Other applications for recording calls on mobile

There are dozens of applications for recording telephone conversations. Several more of them have the same name - Call Recorder. They all work from the built-in drivers and libraries of the Android operating system. It is thanks to this opportunity that the recording of mobile conversations from an Android gadget is available.

You will not be able to record conversations if the manufacturer has erased the drivers and libraries from the Android system kernel from the smartphone - you need to install the "custom" (custom) Android kernel before changing the firmware.

All programs for recording telephone conversations are available at PlayMarket.

Recording a conversation is not a problem, given the capabilities of modern gadgets. For this, there are both third-party programs and the capabilities of Android itself. This function is useful when you need to remember a large amount of information. The main thing is not to violate a person's right to make personal calls.

The beauty of Android is that even if your smartphone is not endowed with some of the features you need, you can simply expand the list of its functions using the store. What can you not find there! How about recording your talks? During a conversation, it may slip through important information that you have not been able to remember or even hear, and it may be convenient to be able to listen to the recording.

As you might have guessed, this is possible with Android. Please note that in many countries it is illegal to record telephone conversations unless the other person is warned that the conversation will be recorded. Now that you are informed, you can follow this link in Google play Behind the Automatic Call Recorder app.

This app doesn't just record calls. It has enough features to keep you comfortable. For example, you can automatically save recordings not only locally on your device, but also to Dropbox or Google Drive. This is convenient if you want to access recordings from other devices. Three audio formats are supported: 3GP, AMR and WAV.

Time to talk about how the application works. After you finish the setup, it will automatically start and start recording as soon as you make or receive a call. In order for you to understand that the recording is in progress, a red indicator will light up in the notification area. As soon as you finish speaking, you will receive a notification that the recording is ready. By clicking on the notification, you can add a note to the recording, save it, listen to it, or delete it.

That, in fact, is all. Automatic Call Recorder performs exactly one function, but the way it is implemented in the application makes it one of the most elegant and convenient methods of recording conversations.

ACR - automatic and manual recording of phone conversations in Android

In the operating room Android system there is no built-in tool for recording phone calls. However, on Google Play Market there are many applications available that will help eliminate this disadvantage. One of best programs for recording phone calls in manual and automatic modes, in my opinion, is ACR Call Recorder ( ACR). The application has a convenient Russian-language interface and very flexible settings.

The main ACR window looks like this:

First of all, pay attention to the on / off switch. With it, you can quickly turn on and off the recording of phone calls. It also supports the ability to quickly empty the "Trash", which contains deleted records of phone calls. Recording modes and other program parameters are located in the "Settings" menu.

Settings

Are common

PIN code request - protection of the application with a PIN code. You can set a pin code that you will need to enter to open ACR:

Notifications - if this option is active, information about the ACR status will be displayed in the notification area:

Cart - if this option is active, then deleted files they are first moved to the Trash, from where they can be restored if necessary. Files are permanently deleted by emptying the Trash.

Play on click- if this option is active, then playback starts by short pressing on a specific call record. A long press on an entry opens the following menu with available actions:

If the option is not active, then this menu opens by short pressing on a recorded call.

Internal media player- if the option is active, the recorded calls will be played using the built-in audio player in ACR. Otherwise, the application will provide an opportunity to select another installed audio player:

Library - if this option is active, the recorded calls will be added to the music library of your Android device.

Clear the database- go to the list with all recorded calls (incoming and outgoing), where they can be deleted.

Recording


Are common
Recording folder- selection of the folder in which the recorded calls will be saved. Both internal and external card memory.

Recording format - select the file format of the recorded conversations:

List of supported formats: 3GP, AMR, MP4, MP4-HQ, M4A, M4A-HQ, OGG, OGG-HQ, WAV, WAV-HQ, FLAC, FLAC-HQ. The MP3 audio format familiar to most users, unfortunately, is not supported. You can choose the most suitable format only experimentally, when you are completely satisfied with the recording quality and file size. So far, I stopped at WAV (1 minute of recorded conversation takes about 1 MB).

Audio Gain - You can adjust the volume gain of the sound of recorded calls. This option is not available for all formats and may distort the sound with crackles:

Gain range from -20 dB to +20 dB. I did not use this setting, tk. the standard volume (0 dB, i.e. without amplification) suits me completely.

Always ask for confirmation- if the option is active, after each phone call the application will provide an option to save or not save the record:

Automatic deletion- you can activate the option to automatically delete old conversations after a specified number of days:

Delete short entries- you can activate the option to automatically delete short conversations:

Range is from 1 second to 60 seconds ("0" - disabled). For example, if you select "30", recorded conversations less than 30 seconds long will be automatically deleted.

Recording mode
Conversation recording- choice between automatic and manual recording of telephone conversations:

In automatic mode, all incoming and outgoing calls will be recorded without user intervention. At manual mode to start recording a conversation, you must click on a special button in the call window:

Delayed recording of outgoing- recording outgoing call will start after a set number of seconds after a successful connection:

The range is from 1 to 20 seconds ("0" - off). The recommended value is 2 seconds. If the recording of outgoing calls does not work correctly on your smartphone, it is recommended to change this parameter to a smaller or larger (most often) side.

Delayed recording of incoming- the recording of an incoming call will start after a set number of seconds after a successful connection:

The range is from 1 to 20 seconds ("0" - off). The recommended value is 0 seconds. If the recording of incoming calls does not work correctly on your smartphone, it is recommended to change this parameter to a larger side.

Audio source - source of voice recording. By default, VOICE_CALL is used, which supports recording of both interlocutors (if your smartphone supports such a recording):

Available values: VOICE_CALL, MIC, VOICE_DOWNLINK, VOICE_UPLINK, VOICE_COMMUNICATION, VOICE_RECOGNITION. In case of incorrect recording in the VOICE_CALL mode (for example, one of the interlocutors is not heard), the ACR application developer recommends trying another source. These recording sources may work differently on different devices. On my Samsung GalaxyS3 DUOS smartphone, the default VOICE_CALL source is functioning properly.

Speaker - this option is available when MIC is selected as the audio source. It automatically turns on the speaker speakerphone during a conversation. The developer warns that this option may disconnect Bluetooth communication with other devices.

Bluetooth recording - if this option is active, calls will be recorded when a Bluetooth headset or external speaker is connected. However, this option does not work correctly on all smartphones.

Bluetooth audio source- source of voice recording when a bluetooth headset or external speaker is connected. This option will become available if you activate recording via Bluetooth:

Available values: VOICE_CALL, MIC, VOICE_DOWNLINK, VOICE_UPLINK, VOICE_COMMUNICATION. In case of incorrect recording in the "Default" mode (for example, one of the interlocutors is not heard), the ACR application developer recommends trying another source.

But how to enable recording of phone calls on Android, what is needed for this, what changes came with new versions of the operating system? GuruDroid. net invites you to familiarize yourself with useful information, and find answers to your questions.

How to enable call recording on Android 6, 7, 8

From version 6, a built-in call recording function has appeared on Android devices. She is also present atNougat 7 andOreo 8 , but not everything is so easy here. The fact is that manufacturers often block this option, and you cannot enable it by any fraud. This usually happens on budget Chinese phones, companies simply do not want to waste time expanding functionality due to the low cost of the product.

Fortunately, on well-known brands such as Xiaomi, Meizu, Sony, etc., you will not run into a similar problem. Samsung smartphones usually 100% support system call recording.

Now let's look at how to turn it on, and at the same time check the very presence on the device:

  1. Go to "Telephone", we dial the number we need or open it from "Contacts";
  2. As soon as the challenge begins, click on the image of the ellipsis... It is usually located on the right side of the screen;
  3. An additional menu appears in which we select "Start recording"... Now the conversation will be continuously recorded, and to stop it, just repeat the above steps and click Stop Recording.

The same should be done for incoming call... If you do not see the recording function, it means that it is not provided on the smartphone. Only third-party applications will help here, which we will talk about below.

Pros:

  • Clear sound, no interference; your voice, like the voice of the interlocutor, is heard perfectly, which, unfortunately, not all recording programs can boast of.
  • It does not take up additional space on the internal memory, as does the recording program. Easy enough to turn on / off.

Minuses:

  • Quite poor functionality, there is no way to change the file resolution, quality, volume. Also, there is no automatic recording stop at a certain minute of the conversation.
  • It is impossible to sort calls by date, name, add notes to them, mark important conversations. After recording, the file can only be found through the explorer or in music player, from where it does not lend itself to any special tuning, but simply turns into ordinary audio intended only for listening.
  • It is not available on all smartphones, if not, it is even problematic to turn it on.

1 Do not want to constantly repeat the same procedure, but do you need to record all incoming and outgoing calls? Then automatic call recording is the ideal solution., because on Android it is very easy to enable it.

2 Communicate with large quantity people, but recording is required only for certain subscribers? So, configure the "Favorite contacts" option, and do not worry anymore that you forgot to activate it again during an important call. 3 You already know what call you will make, you need to record it, but quickly turn it on this function during the conversation itself do not feel like it? In this case, in the settings, easily set a one-time entry, and on the first call, it is activated by itself.

We have described three possible situations, and now we will find out what algorithm of actions they have. First, go to the "Contacts" settings, at the very bottom of the list we see the "Call records" option.

  • For situation # 1: just move the slider to the mode "Included" against "Auto Record Calls"... An additional small menu appears, where we put "All contacts".
  • For situation number 2: reactivate "Auto Record Calls", but now we choose not "All contacts", a "Chosen"... Next, we are invited to mark these numbers. The quantity is usually not limited.
  • For situation number 3: click on the second item Call records and choose "Disposable". Made.

Note! This setting is only possible if the smartphone officially supports the built-in recording function. If you have achieved this with the help of root-rights, special programs, instruments - it is unlikely that there will be a positive result.
