Want to record your Phone Calls?

Hi Guys, If you want to record your phone calls, there is an excellent software for the ATOM-- it is called PM Recorder. I have been using it for the past month and sound quality is very good. However, you have to activate speakerphone in your Atom to record both side of the conversation.Here's the link:

Voice and Call Recording Software

Does anyone has any voice and call recording software for TMO Wing?
Thanks in Advance
vito audio notes is a pretty good program. It auto records calls, but it isn't very clear unless you use the speaker phone. For some reason it used to work alot better on the tmo dash than it does on my wing.

Record a phone call

I've tried VITO Audio Notes and Resco Audio Recorder and neither of these seem to record the other half a phone call. I'd like to be prepared and have something which can record a call if need be, but nothing seems to work. I've read that this can be down to hardware. Has anyone managed to get anything like this working on the Xperia X1?
Thanks
this thread make me remember, I swear there was an in built call record function back there when this phone was previewed, where is it now?
it waz the providers callable mailbox. LOL
dialed by shortcut
i wish this feature, too. long time ago,.... but no htc device can record a live phone call.
but i hope, that a bluetooth wrapper will come in future. (to redirect audio streams. if the bluetooth driver can capture and send audio streams over air, a fake driver could handle like the bt driver. but without bt-hardware-chip is activated, to save power consumption. the recording app commincates with the wrapper/fake driver as BT-protokoll (fake headset device))
try to use the buildin notes application to record, it may help

Acer A500: Microphone, Skype, Gtalk

Using Skype, Gtalk, etc with A500.
I tried to make a call with Skype (Skype testing service) - the sound quality was poor.
Tried to make a call to another Skype user - I could hear him well, but my voice was muffled.
Solution:
Just plug in a headphone/earpiece (that has NO microphone) into the headset. You can then use the internal mic on the A500 to make your calls over Skype. The sound quality is very good in both skype and gtalk.
I did try my Iphone's earpiece, which has a mic, but the sound was muffled.
Hope this helps.

I have to do this too, do any others not have to do this?
I spoke with my wife a few minutes ago and asked her how I sounded the other day. I used Gtalk and she did too... she was able to hear me and I was very clear.
Not only that, but I was using 3G with only a single bar. Had poor video quality obviously, but sound was flawless.
Called with video on gTalk, being on WIFI - good quality audio, average video...
Skype working with no problem, too

Only GTalk had video calling feature for me. It just was here originally. Called from my Desktop with web-cam to my Acer.
Skype - audio only. No video. (yet? )
ok got you. thanks guys
how did you guys managed to use gtalk with video in canada? Isn't it only available in states ?
Nope It is available everywhere in the world.
If the person you are trying to reach has a video version of gtalk you should see a green camera on the side.
PS for those that do not have a video version of gtalk on their android phone you can use a free app called vtok which allows videoconferencing with gtalk client
That is what i have been using on my HTC DHD and it works great.
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
Where is the microphone located ? I'm never sure which areas to aim my voice towards when speaking.
Holding the A500 in portrait mode, with the volume control button on the right, look for a small hole on the right side, between the glass and the bezel.
It is about 5 inches from where the power switch is located.

If you have the Acer case, the mic is cover by the velcro tab (go figure).
Is there a mic for the front camera?
I can't seem to find one.
Thank you. Took me a minute but I found it. Voice to text has been very difficult thus far in comparison to my nexus 1.
is there a software fix to the mic issue?

thanks so just download the skype and you are in business. Is this easy to use sir?
found a fix, you can use an external mic the one built in is good but the software is making it retard. If you plug in a headphone with a mic in it or just a plain old mic it will work great, i have tested it for a good 3 hours, it works. Much much better sound.
google voice search doesn't work for $$$$ no matter how good your mic is. 3.1 was a huge ****up by acer HUGE
Can someone do some modification so that we can use video as people in galaxy s did?
my mcs are worthless can't do anything with them no voice commands work neither will the search or Skype or GT. Absolute bs
My mic works flawlessy for google voice search i have no idea how?
I think the issue is that some folks aren't used to a true noise cancelling mic. It's using a dual analog noise cancelling mic. so it's filtering noise while capturing your voice or capturing your voice 'twice' if you're using it properly/close by.
If you're trying to use the Mic in a noisy area, it may cancel some of your voice as noise unless you speak up or put it somewhat close to your face or speak directly facing it. In other words, picture yourself on a video call. When you set yourself up to be seen by the camera properly, that is ultimately when the Mic will be at it's best.
I imagine people are using it with with a phone's mic in mind but they are unfortunately not the same. A phone's mic is located as close to the mouth as possible without allowing users to blow into it. The mic on the A500 is located away/out of finger reach, primarily and directly facing your mouth.
In the end, I think the best advice for using the mic is telling you to use it like you're on a speakerphone call. Clear, precise vocalization. You can also run the best test with the Voice Recorder to kind of hear how well your voice is picked up from various angles. I found, as I mentioned before...that I am most clear in either portrait or landscape mode with the tablet roughly a foot to 18 inches from my face, similar to how I'd hold it for a web cam. I found that if I spoke as if I were using a speakerphone, I got the best results....even while the TV is on or music is playing. I lost ground however, when I lay the tablet flat on a surface or docked out of line of sight, that is, beside me or elsewhere. I also have no issues with using Google Voice Search.
