Lenovo S 660. I couldn’t record a phone conversation, if possible, tell me how to do this?

Instructions

Please remember that not every telephone conversation can be recorded. This restriction applies to third parties, since, according to the law, a conversation can only be recorded if you are one of the parties taking part in the conversation. In any other situations, it is necessary to warn about recording, as, for example, this is done in the call centers of all large companies.

You can buy a voice recorder as separate device, however, this option is not entirely convenient to use. Therefore, if you consider all the pros and cons, it is better to abandon such an idea.

Find the folder in the phone menu where the recording program is hidden. Check it out in action, and then, to save money, call any federal number(starts with the numbers 8-800-...) and try to get to the desired section and use a voice recorder to record the answering machine monologue. After such an operation, you will understand how much time it will take to prepare for recording. If your phone does not provide such an opportunity or you need to record the conversation from the very beginning, then you can do the following: take two devices, use one for the conversation, after turning it on speakerphone, and the second - as a recording device. In this case, you don’t have to worry that the first seconds will be crumpled, because you can turn on the recorder in advance.

Test your phone's capabilities before recording. Some device models (for example, Samsung) provide a function to turn on the device in the menu bar, which is displayed when a call is established. Therefore, to start the voice recorder, just press one button. Nokia, on the other hand, has a more complex navigation system, but the function of recording the current conversation installed in every more or less new device. The only point is that its search must be carried out through the exit to the main menu (during conversation you need to press left top button and select the “menu” icon in the pop-up window).

It happens that during a conversation on mobile phone, you are given information that would be a good idea to write down. But here’s the problem: there’s no paper or pen at hand. You can, of course, rely on your memory. What if the information is too difficult to remember? What should I do? Use the call recording feature.

You will need

• Cellular telephone or a smartphone that supports installation additional applications, and also having free space on the memory card;
• voice recorder application for mobile phone;
• external voice recorder (computer, tape recorder, etc.).

Instructions

First, check if the voice recorder is already installed on your phone along with the factory settings. To do this, during a conversation, review all the functions available for execution. You may find among them the “Enable voice recorder” function. Then you just need to activate this menu item, after which your entire conversation will be recorded in the phone’s memory. You can then easily listen to this recording again or transfer it to your computer.

If you don't have a voice recorder on your mobile, you can install it yourself. To do this, connect your phone to your computer via cable, IK port or Bluetooth. You may have to install drivers. Then copy the voice recorder application to your phone memory. After that, install the copied application on the mobile phone itself. In the voice recorder settings, there may be a function such as “Enable recording automatically.” Then you won't have to do it manually every time. Majority similar applications When the recording is turned on, they produce a characteristic squeak. But if you look, you can also find squeak-suppressing voice recorders.

We may not use the call recording function very often, however, there are many situations when it can be useful to us. For example, we need to write down a phone number that is spoken to us, but we don’t have a pen at hand. Having recorded a conversation, you can listen to it again and slowly transfer the entire necessary information on paper or electronic version.

Or a bad person calls you and is openly rude. By recording such a conversation, it will be possible to bring him to justice. In general, the recording function is a very useful thing. Let's figure out how to use it.

Recording conversations using standard Android capabilities

The easiest and most accessible method for recording a conversation is to use the internal tools of your Android device.

Instructions:

To listen to the recording, go to internal memory phone, to the folder " PhoneRecord", in which our records are stored.

This is the simplest and most convenient option for those who do not want to bother with installing additional software.

Important!
This article was written using a smartphone running Android 5.0.2. On other OS versions there may be minor deviations from the first instructions.

Record a conversation using the Call Recording app

Instructions:

Now any telephone conversation will be recorded automatically. For example, I again called 611 so that Tele2 employees would not relax.

Let's return to the main menu of the program and see our entry in the inbox tab. By clicking on it, we can perform a number of actions: save, delete, make another call and, of course, play.

Let’s add that in the settings of the “Call Recording” program we can select the format in which the recording will be made, select the storage location, etc.

Recording conversations through the “polis callrecorder” application

Record conversations using the Call Recording app from lovekara

Instructions:

Do you make 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 functionality for recording conversations using built-in methods or using third-party applications.

In smartphones with operating system Android provided standard function Conversation recording is the default, but recording someone's speech without warning is illegal in many countries. Before the conversation, you must notify the person on the other end of the line 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, meaning 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 the conversation, you need to install the recording application in advance and try to use it. If the recording is successful, then there are no restrictions on the phone, but this does not mean that in this way you will not violate the laws of the country in which you are located.

Sometimes the recording application opens and even records sound, but then it turns out that only your voice is saved, and the voice of the interlocutor is missing from the recording. Therefore, you need to check in advance how a particular application works.

How to record a telephone conversation on Android

Many applications have been developed for speech recording, 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 set of applications. Among them you can find “Dictaphone”. However, speech recording is done in a slightly different way from easy start programs. This function must be activated directly when calling from additional menu options.

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

Video: how to record a conversation using the built-in application

Recording with third-party applications

In the shop Play applications Market presents dozens of programs for recording conversations. They all differ in functionality and, of course, ease of use.

• text hint-instructions that accompanies each settings page;
• You can add a text note to each entry by selecting the entry and then clicking the note icon;
• appearance applications can be customized with a set of built-in themes.

The application does its job well.

If the recording did not turn out as required, it is worth checking in the settings whether the entire line is being recorded 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 choppy or full extraneous sounds, try changing the file format.

Automatic Call Recorder (Appliqato)
