Comments on: Record Phone Conversations with RecorderX

RecorderX is new in the software store today. The program is a sound recording application designed for the Treo. It can record phone conversations and can also be used as a stand alone voice memo app. Similar to CallRec, the program can automatically capture both ends of your phone conversation and can compress and archive the resulting files to a memory card. It uses the standard wav format with ADPCM compression and has multiple recording quality settings. You can also send recordings to other devices over email and IR.

RecorderX v2.2B2 for Palm OS is available now for $16.95. It comes with a free trial period. It requires 300k of free space and is optimized for all Palm OS 5 Treo's including the Centro.

 Does it regularly beep to tell the other side?

In Virginia, maybe plenty of other states, no recording allowed without a heads up to both parties.

How is it compared to CallRec?
Stable?
Easy to use?
Good recording quality?
Common playback on a PC if offloaded?
Fully controllable playback points?

I recently upgraded to CallRec v5.2 from v3. the main reason was to get background playback. The new upgrade was full of negative issues that forced me to eat the upgrade cost and revert back to v3. Call recording was so quite that it was impossible to discern. UI was more colorful but more confusing and more difficult to navigate. Recording and stopping was more complicated. Then playback of recordings started coming in slow motion. That was it. The stable and simple old version had to return, but still no background playback.

Enough moaning. I'll try the demo.

That's quite a laundry list of complaints! I've been using CallRec since shortly after I got my 700p in '06 and I've never had any major complaints with it (well, other than the time I fell asleep reading an e-book and somehow triggered the voice memo function on CallRec using the side button. Sometime in the course of the next day at work I noticed I had ZERO space left on my SD card and a nearly dead battery. Further inspection revealed that I had consumed 1.5gb of space on my card by recording myself snoring through the night.)

I've never experienced any of those issues (just stuttering recording due to the 700p's various NVFS/lag issues) you describe. I admit that the overhauled UI is now the best thing ever but it suffices for most purposes. Now, you use a Treo 680, right? Can you try CallRec on another device? Maybe it'll work perfectly on your Treo 900g!
