Enjoy!

Thanks iKneaDough!

I just came across this, and copied this to the wiki to the page "Recording phonecalls" - this also would be a very good start for someone who wishes to write a graphical phone call recording application.

Thanks!
Dave.

I've got a prototype call recording widget up and running on my N900 now. Will fine tune it over the next few days, you should have a solution in your hands very soon.

I'm looking forward to this twaelti. I must admit that I'm excited for this one.

OK, the "recaller" widget is now available from extras-devel (CAUTION!). From the description:

A simple widget to record the current phone conversation (AAC, 1 MB/min). Please be aware of local laws guiding the recording of telephone conversations!

Can also be used as a normal voice recorder.
Press 'REC' to start recording, make your call or record anything else using the in-built mic, press 'REC' again to stop.
Recordings are saved to MyDocs and can be played back through e.g. the File Manager.

Roadmap/ToDo (might get done someday):
- Make it look better
- Allow recording of bluetooth conversations
- Add option to choose saving location
- Add beeping option

Wishlist (no idea if possible or interest in doing it)
- Autostart
- Include contact info / phone number in filename

Hi,

I'm thinking about another idea for the last part :

- recording as mp3, and add mp3tag about contact info / phone number if available ...

A++

Thanks, was looking for this app a long time!
I would like mp3 support too.

There will not be MP3 support as there isn't a native encoder on the device.
(AAC is the future, native/accelerated/more efficient, works with the inbuilt media player and has players for all desktop platforms.)

Great application, thanks.
Was wondering: would it also be able to record radio clips? That ability is one major reason I still use my Cowon D2. If the N900 could do that I would finally be a 1 device guy.
