can this recorder be used with a 2.5mm adapter for basic cell phone? And, does the cell have to be on speaker phone during the conversation to use ?

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 don't know whether he adapter will work but yes, you do need to use the speaker.

I have not tired using it with a computer. I use it with an Olympus digital voice recorder. Plug it into the mic jack and insert the ear bud in your ear, then hold your phone to your ear like a regular conversation. The phone speaker sound passes through the earbud and it records your voice and the person on the phone with you. I suppose if you are using the computer to record, it is the same process. I've just never done that.

I have used it with a smartphone, but I had a separate set of headphones connected using an adapter. The adapter I used is a "headset-buddy" which is sold here on Amazon, but it's rather pricey, and I have since found similar adapters at a much lower price. Now, I don't bother with this mic on my cellphone, because I have an inexpensive headset with detachable mic that works well for this -- and for my PC.My use for this mic is as a remote microphone for my Canon T4i, and it works extremely well for that purpose.

I'd hesitate to say this or any other mic can send its sound into an Android phone. REASON: Cellphones have input jacks set up for the four-conductor headphone/mic combination shipped with the phones. They won't work with regular external mics like this Olympus. SOLUTION: Pick up a modestly-priced digital voice recorder that has a mic jack. Plug this Olympus into that recorder. $40 gets you top quality digital. Don't hand-hold the thing during the concert unless you have to. Better idea is to get there early, start recording and duct-tape the whole thing high up on the wall and retrieve it after the concert. I do that with high-school musicals.

I do not know iPhones. Any equipment that can receive an external mic like computers, digital recorders, tape recorders, should be connected to this one. This plug is a P2 male, it's the same of PC MIC of every notebook I saw (the one people connect wrong as if it were earphones).The use is simple. Plug the mic and put the mic inside the ear you will use to answer the phone call. Anything that is spoken on phone will be recorded (providing you press the rec button of you recorder/ phone/computer/ whatever).[]s

It does NOT have a mic, so you aren't going to be using it as a speakerphone. You might be able to use it as the speaker part of your speakerphone with the mic from the phone, but your mileage will vary based on your phone. If you want a speakerphone accessory, look at something like the JamBox.

I just purchased this MIC for our conf. room computer that we use with Web-Ex and Team Viewer online meetings and works great, you will need some sort of splitter that adapts the port to go both ways for a speaker and mic, but if your phone has the option for speaker mode built into it you would be all set. We are connected to our TV so we are able to use that speaker, I hope this helps and gives you a better idea with our scenario for your needs.

Yes, the pen can record a phone conversation as long as the phone is put on speaker. Remember the pen can be a voice recorder or a video camera which captures both video footage and sound.

First of all, very pleased with unit and price! digital handheld recorder stores both sides of conversation, it is just a standard handheld digital recorder with unique base made especially for wiring directly between phone base and handset and recording phone conversations, (cordless phones will not work). Unsure what format info it is stored in?It does have a standard 1/8" headphone jack for output, I am sure you can connect the output to a computer and save to whatever format you desire (.WAV, MP3, etc...) and send from there.I have done the above many times with other with other digital recorders (TASCAM.... DP-07MKII and DP-004) However I have not tried this one as yet. Hope this helps!

Yes. I plug it into the mic jack on my computer and use Audacity to record with it. You can record any phone conversation that you can hear.

If this is something to connect to the phone to record conversations, i returned both unopened. i have no idea how it works. sorry.

I haven't tried it that way I used a digital recorder to record off the phone unscrupulous business so I also have a record of the conversation for myself. From the digital recorder it was a simple task with a mp3 player to play back the file and copy it on any computer for save keeping. You for a laptop would need to have to activate a recording program and then select this device for the input and output not real clear cut like a digital recorder with is a direct connection. Have a tech head buddy help you most windows or linux OS have these utilities available in them.

Is the tape recorder using a 2.5 or 3.5mm plug? I would buy a dedicated mic for the tape recorder, this is made for a mic and speaker combo and the recorder may pic up sound from the speaker. So, I'd go with "no" on using it with a tape recorder.

It has an 1/8" (3.5mm) mic level analog output. So, if you can plug a standard microphone into your digital recorder, you can use this. I've found it produces some static or hum with some phones but is flawless with others. It connects between the phone's base and its handset with standard telephone connectors, so you need a 2 piece phone that has a handset cord that disconnects from the base. It won't work with "Princess" type single piece phones or cell phones. I hope this helps.

No, you must he actually using the Mynah in hand to your ear physically when recording and using it as your phone. I thought of this as a drawback when purchasing but for so little calls I record it wasn't in the least a hinderance. You may want to see if the conpany has an earbud you can talk through and listen and record same time.

I find it difficult to tell also, so usually I order these at the same time so that I can convert 2.5 into 3.5. Seems that cell phones need 3.5 and landline phones take 2.5. Good luck, Cynthia niceEshop(TM) 2.5mm Male to 3.5mm Female Stereo Audio Jack Adapter Cable,Black" rather than

Hi Madeline -- the connector for this hands-free headset is smaller than a standard mini plug. It works with cell phones, but I suggest you use a regular microphone or Skype headset with a regular-sized mini plug for for use with a tape recorder.
