Recording of calls to "Android": program review, features and reviews

Surely many owners of devices on the platform "Android" have often wondered how to record incoming calls to the phone's memory. Such programs, utilities and applications in a colossal range are located on the same Google Play - some record audio from other applications, some fix the incoming calls, and others work as a dictaphone, writing everything and everything.

Let's try to understand all the variety of such applications, highlighting the most functional and most importantly - free - utilities that allow you to record call conversations and do not require any Root-rights and other problems.

Record Mic and Call

This utility can record sounds in several formats: WAV, 3GP, MP4 and AMR. The program works both with incoming calls, and with other sounds from third-party applications. However, it should immediately be clarified that the program for recording calls only works with a microphone, so for exotic models without it, this option will not work.

Functionality is provided to save the recorded file under the name of the contact, which is very convenient. Another useful feature of the utility is the automatic deletion of files in a day, a week or a month of storage, which is also very useful in a media-limited framework. It is possible to limit the recording of calls by the capacity of the file or the duration of the conversation.

Built-in functionality makes it easy to send a record via e-mail or Skype, and also put the entire process on a "schedule", which is very rare for similar programs.

The application (record calls Record Mic and Call) is distributed free of charge, that is why it abounds with obsessive advertising, which was repeatedly mentioned in user reviews as an obvious minus. To cope with this problem helps to disable the Internet, after which advertising immediately disappears until the next inclusion.

RecForge Lite

Another worthy program that will easily record calls to "Android". The utility has an extended and very useful functionality, although it works with only three formats: WAV, MP3 and OGG. In their reviews, many users mark as an explicit plus of software - the ability to convert different formats directly into the application. Also, owners note the excellent quality of audio.

Almost all the programs of such a plan record as much as possible the sound in high bitrate, based on the technical characteristics of the phone, but RecForge manages to add some additional effect, which contributes to better sound, which can not but rejoice.

Features of the program

Recording of telephone calls takes place at frequencies of 8, 11, 22, 44 and 48 kHz, both in mono and in stereo mode. Has a convenient explorer, which allows you to work with folders and files (moving, deleting, renaming). Some users in their reviews complain that the recording of calls does not occur automatically, but this is more than offset by the presence of various widgets that are deprived of similar products.

Easy Voice Recorder Pro

The utility is fairly simple to learn, and intuitive functionality does not interfere with the recording. It's enough just to select the necessary mode and the program will automatically adjust to your current needs.

Recording of calls to "Android" takes place in high quality thanks to the support of WAV and AAC formats, and to save space on the drive you can include the 3GP format, which is also very convenient for all those who monitor each byte on the phone.

Utility Features

One of the distinguishing features of the utility is the service for converting voice to text, but with some reservations: you need an activated account in Quicktate, and only two languages are supported - English and Spanish. As an option - to look for decryptors of the Russian language on amateur resources, the benefit of them is enough.

There is a function to stop playback if other applications try to play the file you need. In general, the utility copes with its primary task, and user feedback on its work deserve attention. If you do not need dozens of extra features, and you need a good tool, in order to record calls, Easy Voice Recorder Pro is a great option.

Another important point that many users mark as a plus in their reviews is the ease in mastering. At the first startup, the program will tell you about the main points (in Russian), which is quite enough to get you started.

In addition, the utility is equipped with an equalizer, which, by the way, is distinguished by convenience and the same simplicity, as well as all other modest functional. A built-in online assistant allows you to share a record via email or Dropbox service.

Smart Voice Recorder

This utility does not differ in anything from the previous reviewers, but it has one very interesting feature - "silence skip". Meet this feature in the free software can be extremely rare, and even then with a trial period of use.

The main feature of "skipping silence" is the cutting out of quiet moments, that is, you can think about for a long time in conversation, without fear of the size of the recording file, since all silence will be automatically excluded. Separately it is worth noting that the threshold of "silence" can be set manually, which is extremely useful if you are, for example, at a railway station or in another public place. Judging by the feedback, the utility enjoys an enviable demand among journalists and students.

Summarizing

After the "field" verification of the impressive number of applications of such a plan, we can conclude that there is simply no critical difference between them, and this also applies to paid software, including. Therefore, the average user does not need to spend money on expensive programs.
