Anyone ever try using this to record a phone conversation? I was wondering if you could pick up both sides of the conversation in some configuration.

This Recorder is an excellent tool for any recording, including a phone conversation. For a proper both way conversation recording, you'd need, however, a "Telephone Recording Device (TP-7)", or a newer model "Olympus TP-8 Telephone Pick-up Microphone", available at amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-TP-8-Telephone-Pick-up-Microphone/dp/B008AGP5EW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1362587699&sr=8-4&keywords=Telephone+Recording+Device+%28TP-7%29

Radio Shack sells a $10 telephone pickup intended to plug into a recorder with minijack input: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103876

This device will act just like a normal (external) voice recorder in your particular case. You don't have to plug it into your phone either. I have to admit that this recorder is very sensitive, so probably you will get good recording quality. But I wouldn't recommend it as voice recorder in phone mode - quality is not that good as one may expect.

It's a fantastic device but I've never been able to figure out how to record to a PC program. I always use a recorder. But I think it might be that my sound card is not set up for it. So to answer your question, yes but might still need to figure out how to make work.

It unfortunately does NOT record your own voice :( I am wondering the same thing myself on how to get my own voice in the game chat on the videos :/ Good luck finding something that words!! I am still looking, myself.

This all depends on "YOUR" software.. if your asking can you record audio with the software included? yes it has a line in function, so you will be able to record audio heard by the microphone, watch out for reverb/feedback from your speakers.. This is a micro-phone.. if the person/audio is in the area of you microphone, it will pick them up.. if your asking if the software will tie in SKYPE on another feed/source.. i don't believe so..

Well, it did record my voice right in front of it, but I didn'thave time to try out other recordings, like room sounds,because the recorder snapped it's belt and now sits in the corner awaiting a part. Also, the FM antenna snapped off the first time I tried to pulled out, just before the tape recorder broke down. Good Luck!

The mute button will eliminate the recorders side of the conversation. Of there is ambient noise on the opposite side of the conversation or will still be recorded. I have found the best recording strategy is to make sure I am in a quiet location. I find the sound quality goods enough for my needs. I hope this helps.

I used the Skype application available for free for this phone. I used it only once and it was ok. The sound quality was very good, but the other side (which is Europe, I was calling from the US) complained that my video was slightly blurry. I cannot tell if it was because of the camera or because of the poor connection. I will let you know if I try again and have a better result.

Never tried to record phone conversations but if you can use speaker phone I'm sure you would be able to. The microphone is pretty sensitive.

In looking at your question again, I think you're asking if the RECORDER can record phone conversations. I think if you get the microphone cable made for recording phone conversations you should be able to record phone conversations.

No, I don't see how. This jack is just for a microphone with an XLR connection. I don't think most setups for recording phone calls would use that kind of mic. On the other hand, it would work if you used the mic to record a call using the hands-free speaker function on your phone.

Yes, but its not the most ideal way to use the product. You would need to get a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adaptor (from radio shack). When you plug the recorder into your cell phone it routes the audio from the phone and into the device & records the call (similar to plugging a wired headset into your phone). So you would need to still be able to hold the device up to your ear to hear the conversation (when not in speaker phone). The cell phone does not have to be in speaker phone to record the call. But putting it in speaker phone might be an easy way to record the call when using a "basic" phone with a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adaptor.

I dont know about this specific device. However if you try to record from another device it won't work. In order for the software to work you most use your voice and a microphone.

It records both your voice and the other side of the call. I believe when you talk, your voice also goes back through the speaker that you hear others on and therefore it gets recorded. You can't tell that it's occurring because it does it instantly while you're talking, but after using it for months, I can assure you it does record both sides of the conversation. I use it to record meetings and I can hear both sides of the conversation equally well. This product works great.

In theory it should work but you would only be able to record one channel (left vs right). I have not personally tried it.

You can but it will only record the voice of the person you are talking to, it will not record your voice.

I use it with my Olympus Digital Voice Recorder...record the conversation [two way] once done I plug the Voice Recorder into the laptop and upload conversations to Drop Box...free online storage. Then I give access to those I want to share with. Especially nice recording stories of my fathers youth while he lives in FL and I am in TX...then share his voice recording with other family members.
