[RNLD] Recording apps for recording telephone calls....

[Jocelyn Aznar]

Hi everyone,

I have used an app called "Call Recorder", which you can find on f-droid
: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.axet.callrecorder/ (F-droid
is a repository of Free Software for Android).

It quite easy to use once configured, but be carefull on a ethical level
as every phonecall will be recorded... You can configure the software to
delete the recrdings after sometime though. The audio quality is quite
configurable as well (.ogg, .mp3, .flac, etc), but in the end, it is
very dependent of the quality of the mobile's microphone.

Best regards,
Jocelyn Aznar
