ACR - automatic and manual recording of telephone conversations in Android. Call Recorder - Record telephone conversations from the line Why the call recorder program does not record conversations

Do I need to re-purchase the program when changing the device or firmware?

No, the program is linked to your Google account. Therefore, the Play Store should allow you to simply download the program. If the Play Store still offers to buy it, clear the Play Store data and restart the device, it should help.

What's the difference between full and trial versions?

The trial version is valid until a certain date. The full version has no such limitation. There are no other differences.

General

Recording

How to disable automatic recording?

In Settings > Recording, set the default action for incoming and outgoing calls - do not record.

Can the program record VoLTE, VoIP, Wi-Fi Calling or Skype/Viber/Whatsapp calls?

No, this is technically impossible to implement on Android.

Can the program notify the interlocutor that the conversation is being recorded?

No, it's technically impossible.

How does the program handle parallel calls?

The program adds a note to the current entry with the phone number of the parallel call. Even if you dropped this call. .

The program is working well now. Does this mean that the program works just as well on another firmware or other device?

Not! As described, writing to Android is not an easy task. If the program works on one device with a certain firmware, this does not mean that the program will work the same way on another firmware, and even more so on a different device.

Folders and files

Interface and appearance

How to call directly from the program?

Clicking on the avatar will open the contact's information. You can also call from there.

How to filter entries from a specific contact?

A long press on an avatar will filter entries from that contact.

Safety

Is it possible to set a password to enter the program?

Yes, you can create a key in Settings > Security. The password from the generated key will be used to access the application if you enable the "Ask password" option. This key will also be used for encryption. Despite the fact that the program will be entered with a password, the files are stored in unencrypted form only if you have not encrypted them manually. Therefore, they can be listened to by anyone from the file manager, without any problems.

Sometimes an important conversation needs to be recorded. Especially if it is not possible to remember the information to the end, without which responsible work is impossible, for example, collecting news from news agencies to the editorial office of a newspaper, calling the authorities for instructions, and the like. Or just need to record the call to have any proof. This will help you special applications for devices based on the Android operating system.

Technical restrictions on recording telephone conversations by the manufacturer

In some countries, recording telephone conversations is illegal. Manufacturers, instead of customizing each of the smartphone or mobile models imported into a particular country, erase the software components of the Android operating system responsible for recording telephone conversations. If none of the applications for recording a telephone conversation works, change the firmware and Android kernel or the gadget itself.

Android Apps for Call Recording

There are many applications for recording calls in Android, but the easiest way is to use the internal resources of the smartphone.

Record during a call without additional applications

The built-in call recording function is suitable for one-time call recording.

This method is the simplest. The resulting recordings can be converted to any audio format using third-party audio converters that are not included in the built-in phone call recorder on an Android device.

Call Recording Program

The Call Recorder application is configured as follows:

Play, save, erase - all these functions are available

The application keeps a history of recorded conversations, allows you to add a “recorded” person to the list of prohibited recordings - or, conversely, take this person for “auto-listening” (recording with him turns on immediately, regardless of whether he called you or you yourself "Dialed": the record button does not need to be pressed).

The program takes a photo of this person's call.

The photo will also be saved - and shown in the recording history

Convenient storage of records allows you to find each of them very quickly.

Listening to recordings from history

The app has a button bar on the Android desktop - like similar screen recording apps. You can enter the call history after the end of the conversation by clicking on the "handset" icon.

Click on the "pipe" icon to view the recording history

Automatic Call Recorder

The Automatic Call Recorder application will require you to set the skin on startup.

You can start recording conversations. Call yourself or receive an incoming call. There is a setting that allows you to turn off the microphone on your gadget: only the voice of your interlocutor will be recorded. Recording will start by itself. The red marker at the top left means that the recording is in progress.

How to use this program:

Launch Total Recall Call Recorder and press the General button.

Interestingly, when a Bluetooth headset is connected, recording may not be conducted. Saving the recording can be requested separately - the developers do not want problems with the law on recording telephone conversations.
Customizing the application for the needs of the user
When dialing or receiving a call from the interlocutor, the recording will turn on immediately, the application will take a screenshot of the interlocutor from the screen.

Call Recorder

Another good program for recording mobile conversations with a simple name is Call Recorder.

Launch the Call Recorder app after installation. Open the main settings.
Launch the Call Recorder app after installation
Enter the recording settings.
Enter Recording Settings
Choose the best recording method. The difference between the standard and the rest is that the recording is simplex (only what you say into the microphone, the interlocutor may not be recorded from the earpiece). The remaining methods (CAF, ALSA and MSM) make the recording better and deprive it of the “simplexity” of a telephone conversation, but you need to “patch” (make changes) the Android kernel and get Root rights on the device.
Choose the right one if you have Root
Select a recording format. WAV is considered the best - it can be without compression (maximum audio stream speed).
Click on any of the items in this menu
Developers paid a lot of attention to the security settings in the Call Recorder program. If you lose your password, the recordings of your conversations on your smartphone protected by it may become unreadable.
Security when recording conversations - first of all
Additional options, such as auto start recording when the talk timer is enabled, may not work on some devices. It is necessary, again, not only to have Root privileges, but also to “patch” the Android firmware kernel on the device.
Call Recorder gives accurate answers with some settings
Set up the storage of conversation records, improve their classification and archiving in a folder by attributes. It is best to save recordings to an SD card.
Set the optimal parameters for maximum convenience in the application
Set up playback of your recordings.
Set up playback of recorded recordings
Be careful when entering a password if you use password protection to prevent strangers from listening to your conversations on the line.
Enter your password to keep calls private
So, the settings are finished, you can call. A green dot on a call means that the recording is currently in progress. The application will also take a photo of your call if the caller has been assigned a photo in contacts.
A green dot on a call means the recording is currently in progress
The recording will be available immediately after the end of the current conversation.
Select any of the recordings to listen to

Call Recorder, despite its high cost, is a chic program. Even “healing” your smartphone, if something was missing in it, is worth it for the sake of this application.

Other applications for recording mobile conversations

There are dozens of applications for recording telephone conversations. A few more of them have the same name - Call Recorder. All of them work from the built-in drivers and libraries of the Android operating system. It is thanks to this feature that recording of mobile conversations from an Android gadget is available.

You will not be able to record conversations if the manufacturer has erased drivers and libraries from the Android system kernel from the smartphone - you must install the “custom” (custom) Android kernel before changing the firmware.

All programs for recording telephone conversations are available in PlayMarket.

Recording a conversation is not a problem, given the capabilities of modern gadgets. To do this, there are both third-party programs and the capabilities of Android itself. This feature helps a lot when you need to remember a large amount of information. The main thing is not to violate the human right to personal calls.

ACR - automatic and manual recording of telephone conversations in Android
The Android operating system does not have a built-in phone call recording tool. However, there are many applications available in the Google Play Market that will help eliminate this shortcoming. One of the best programs for recording phone calls in manual and automatic modes, in my opinion, is ACR Call Recorder ( ACR). The application has a convenient Russian-language interface and very flexible settings.
The main window of ACR looks like this:

First of all, pay attention to the "on / off" switch. With it, you can quickly enable and disable the recording of phone calls. It also supports the ability to quickly empty the "Trash" in which deleted records of phone calls are placed. Recording modes and other program parameters are located in the "Settings" menu.
Settings
Are common
PIN code request - Protect the application with a PIN code. You can set a pin code that will need to be entered to open the ACR:
Notifications - if this option is enabled, then the notification area will display information about the status of ACR:
Recycle Bin - if this option is enabled, then deleted files are first moved to the Recycle Bin, from where they can be restored if necessary. Files are permanently deleted by emptying the Recycle Bin.
Play on click- if this option is active, then playback starts with a short press on a specific call recording. A long press on an entry opens the following menu with available actions:

If the option is not active, then this menu is opened by a short press on the recorded call.
Internal media player- if the option is enabled, the recorded calls will be played using the built-in ACR audio player. Otherwise, the application will provide the option to select another installed audio player:
Library - if this option is enabled, the recorded calls will be added to the music library of your Android device.
Clear database- go to the list with all recorded calls (incoming and outgoing), where they can be deleted.
Recording

Are common
Recording folder- select the folder where the recorded calls will be saved. Both internal and external memory cards are supported.
Recording format - select the format of the recorded conversation files:

List of supported formats: 3GP, AMR, MP4, MP4-HQ, M4A, M4A-HQ, OGG, OGG-HQ, WAV, WAV-HQ, FLAC, FLAC-HQ. Unfortunately, the MP3 audio format familiar to most users is not supported. You can choose the most suitable format only experimentally, when you are completely satisfied with the recording quality and file size. So far I have settled on WAV (1 minute of a recorded conversation takes approximately 1 MB).
Audio amplification - you can adjust the amplification of the sound volume of recorded calls. This option is not available for all formats and may distort the sound with crackles:

Gain range from -20 dB to +20 dB. I did not use this setting, because. the standard volume (0 dB, i.e. without amplification) completely suits me.
Always ask for confirmation- if the option is active, after each phone call the application will give the option to save or not to save the record:
Automatic removal- you can activate the option to automatically delete old conversations after a specified number of days:
Delete short entries- you can activate the option to automatically delete short conversations:

The range is from 1 second to 60 seconds ("0" - disabled). For example, if you select "30", recorded conversations less than 30 seconds long will be automatically deleted.
Recording mode
Conversation Recording- choice between automatic and manual recording of telephone conversations:

In automatic mode, all incoming and outgoing calls will be recorded without user intervention. In manual mode, to start recording a conversation, you must click on a special button in the call window:
Outgoing recording delay- outgoing call recording will start after a set number of seconds after a successful connection:

The range is from 1 to 20 seconds ("0" - disabled). The recommended value is 2 seconds. If recording of outgoing conversations does not work correctly on your smartphone, it is recommended to change this setting up or down (most often).
Incoming recording delay- recording of an incoming call will start after a set number of seconds after a successful connection:

The range is from 1 to 20 seconds ("0" - disabled). The recommended value is 0 seconds. If the recording of incoming conversations does not work correctly on your smartphone, it is recommended to change this setting upwards.
Audio source - voice recording source. By default, VOICE_CALL is used, which supports the recording of both interlocutors (if your smartphone supports such a recording):

Available values: VOICE_CALL, MIC, VOICE_DOWNLINK, VOICE_UPLINK, VOICE_COMMUNICATION, VOICE_RECOGNITION. In case of incorrect recording in VOICE_CALL mode (for example, one of the interlocutors is not heard), the developer of the ACR application recommends trying another source. These recording sources may work differently on different devices. On my SamsungGalaxyS3 DUOS smartphone, the default VOICE_CALL source is functioning properly.
Speaker - this option is available when MIC is selected as the audio source. It automatically turns on the speakerphone during a call. The developer warns that this option may disconnect the Bluetooth connection with other devices.
Bluetooth recording - if this option is enabled, calls will be recorded when a Bluetooth headset or external speaker is connected. However, this option does not work correctly on all smartphones.
bluetooth audio source- voice recording source when a bluetooth headset or external speaker is connected. This option will become available if Bluetooth recording is enabled:

Available values: VOICE_CALL, MIC, VOICE_DOWNLINK, VOICE_UPLINK, VOICE_COMMUNICATION. In case of incorrect recording in the "Default" mode (for example, one of the interlocutors is not heard), the developer of the ACR application recommends trying another source.

Listening to recorded telephone conversations
There are 4 tabs available in the main ACR window: All, Incoming, Outgoing, Important. Each tab displays the time of the call, the number of the interlocutor, the file size of the recorded conversation, the duration and duration of the conversation. In the lower left corner of the screen, the total number of recorded conversations in this list is displayed, in the lower right corner - the size of the recorded conversations and the amount of available space.
All Tab

List of all recorded conversations: incoming (with a green arrow) and outgoing (with a red arrow).

List of recorded conversations marked as "Important". To add a recorded conversation to this list, while in any of the 3 tabs (Outbox, Inbox, All), press on the desired recorded conversation and hold for about 1 second until the following menu appears:

Click on the "transparent star" and this recorded conversation will be in the "Important" tab. A transparent asterisk means that this conversation is not in the Important List.

A conversation marked as "important" continues to be in the "All", "Outbox" / "Inbox" tabs, and is marked with a red bar in these tabs:
To remove a conversation from the "Important" list, being in any of the 4 tabs (Outbox, Inbox, All, Important), press and hold on the desired recorded conversation for about 1 second until the following menu appears:

Click on the "red star" and this conversation will be removed from the "Important" tab. A red star indicates that the conversation is on the "Important" list. However, please note that deleting recorded conversations from the "Important" list using the "Delete" item will also remove them from the "All", "Inbox" and "Outbox" lists.
Listening to recorded conversations
To listen to a recorded conversation, click on it 1 time (if the option "General -> Play on click" is active) or press and hold until the following menu appears:

and select "Play". If the option "General -> Play on click" is inactive, then this menu will open on a single click (without holding).
After that, playback of the recorded conversation will start in the built-in or external player. I use the built-in ACR player:

The subscriber's number is displayed here, as well as the current playback position and the duration of the recorded call. The basic commands are available to the user: play/pause, stop, fast forward/backward. In addition, using the slider, you can quickly move forward/backward. The sound can be played from the external (rear) and internal (from where we hear the interlocutor during a conversation) speaker.
Sorting recorded conversations
By default, new conversations appear at the top of the list. To display old conversations at the top of the list, click on the "Sort" icon:

Please note that the conversation files in the recording folder (Settings -> General -> Recording folder) contain only the subscriber's phone number in the file name:

Outcome

The ACR program successfully copes with the task of recording telephone conversations in Android. For a month of using the Samsung Galaxy S3 DUOS smartphone, I did not notice a single error. Calls are perfectly recorded both in manual mode and in automatic mode.
Pros :
Manual and automatic modes for recording phone calls

Large number of supported formats

Support for sending recorded calls to cloud services, FTP, WebDAV and e-mail

A large number of various call recording settings

Virtually no battery consumption

Support for portrait and landscape screen orientation

Work simultaneously with several recorded conversations

Minuses :
No support for MP3 format

"Call Recorder Pro" is a voice recorder designed only for recording telephone conversations. This is exactly what is needed in most cases. There is a complete order with the settings and functions: in this sense, of all the programs considered, “Call Recorder Pro” is the most focused on recording calls. The disadvantages of the program are standard: the program does not have an autoload function and beeps when recording a conversation.

Program settings

Consist of two parts. The first is general settings. This includes the items "Activate" (what starts the corresponding process, and makes it possible not to keep the program in memory completely), "Record format" (selection of AMR or WAV), storage location (phone memory or memory card), recording time (not limited or manually from one second to one hour), beep volume (quiet/loud). Most frustrating is the last point: they could have done more, and “turned off” - there would have been no price for this program.

The second part of the settings is "Rules". These settings make the program very advanced. Rules - how the program reacts to incoming and outgoing calls from certain numbers. Actions are set for each rule: Question, Incoming, Outgoing. The first means that the program will ask before recording whether this conversation should be recorded. The second and third - the absence / presence of a reaction to the corresponding types of calls.

By default, two rules are created: for all calls and for unknown numbers. You can also create rules for selected subscribers from the contact book, for groups, as well as for any numbers in general that can be set by mask. The mask is specified by the digits of the number, as well as the symbols "*" (any number of digits) and "?" (any one number). That is, if you want to allow all numbers with the code “903” to be recorded, you should write “*903*”, for numbers ending in “29”, you will need to write “*29”, and for numbers +79131872260, +79131872261, ..., +79131872269 you will need to write "+7913187226?". The most inconvenient thing about this is that the created rules cannot be edited completely, you can only change the actions for them.

Program operation

We launch the program, configure it, activate it, and unload it with a clear conscience. After activation, a process will settle in memory that will monitor calls. It is a pity that the developers did not provide for autoloading the program.

The list is common for incoming and outgoing, and the entries do not differ from each other in any way. The program does not want to substitute the names of subscribers instead of numbers, instead they made the “View contact” function (called by the “*” button) and put an additional name in the “Options”.

There is a function for viewing information about the call (“Options”, called by the “5” button), there, in addition to the date, time, number and duration, the path to the recording file and status (read / not) are included. For the list, the functions of sending (Bluetooth/IrDA/MMS/E-Mail), deleting and packing (those records for which the corresponding file is not found) are deleted.

Listening to the recorded recordings - no pause, no rewind. Only volume control.

Pros, cons, conclusions

The program is built correctly, but minor imperfections spoil everything. Peeping during recording, lack of normal listening to recordings, "underdrawn" list of calls, no autoload. If you combine all the best that is in ALON MP3 Dictaphone (work with lists, player), LivePVR (no buzzer), AudioNotes (recording, recording levels) and "Call Recorder Pro" (calls response system) - you would get a normal program for records of telephone conversations.

We have an article about , CallRec, or . Today we will talk about a program of a similar purpose, it is called “Auto Call Recorder Pro” or, more simply, “Call Recorder for Android”. The Call Recorder program can come in handy when you need to quickly remember what you said or what you said. In principle, the Callrecorder program can do everything the same as CallRec. You can download the call recorder from our website as an installation file.

Key Features

The application can record incoming and outgoing calls (like ).
In the settings you can configure how conversations are recorded.
Cloud sync - Google Drive, Dropbox, .
Flexible configuration of all application functions.
You can add notes to calls.
Program in Russian.
Free.
Suitable for Android of any version.
There are 2 interface themes in the settings.
