Record Both Sides of Call Coming Soon!

I've also installed Resco Audio Recorder, but it doesn't work to record both sides. You may hear the other side VERY faintly, but my guess is that it's just the mic picking up the speaker output (which is why, as someone else here mentioned, if you use speakerphone you'll get a decent recording of both sides).

In all the times this has come up, people have pointed out that it's a hardware limitation on our phones (something about how the hardware interfaces directly rather than routing through the OS).

I was hopeful when I saw that HTC included in-call recorder software for another device, but after having tried messing around with it (there's a thread here and on XDA), I'm not very confident that it will work for the Touch Pro.

No offense to you, but I'm really tired of seeing these disclaimers on legality whenever someone mentions recording a call...... it's up to the person recording the call to make sure it's legal... jeez, I don't even think the software vendors that create these programs warn people this much.

I had Resco for a while and it doesnt record both sides unless on speaker, point blank. Now, about the settings, you can elect that Resco records phone calls automatically which may be inconvenient,however that option exists, and you wont have to fiddle with anything when u get a call...


oh yeah +1 for auto-exec on this, we ar enot talking about legalities here,just technical part of getting the isht to work,nuff bout that isht.

FYI auto-exe
want some money ,dont fly to DC, DRIVE dude..lol

I installed both the cab file and the mui file from that website and the software installed fine on my TP. However when I called my voicemail and my work phone to check, there is no option to record the call under my phone call menu. Can someone tell me where I can find this or what I'm doing wrong?

Umm, no its not. It's inadmissible in court if the other party didn't know they were being recorded.

It is legal as long as one of the parties is aware that they are being recorded. Both parties do not have to know they are being recorded. Now if a third party is recording two parties then yes it is illegal, but thats not the case with this.

gentleman. read and learn.

"Federal law allows recording of phone calls and other electronic communications with the consent of at least one party to the call. A majority of the states and territories have adopted laws based on the federal standard. But 12 states, including California, require the consent of all parties to the call. These are are California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington. For a state-by-state guide to taping laws, including a discussion of federal law and references to caselaw, see the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press guide, www.rcfp.org/taping/ ."

so all you guys that don't seem to give a crap about members like me trying to keep your butts out of jail, should. and as far as i'm concerned, this thread should be closed by a mod.

LOL... so much for free speech, eh? I guess, since there are potential applications of this discussion that might be illegal in some states under specific circumstances, that means that we can't help someone figure out if a program works for his purposes?

Again, I don't mean to offend, but unless the thread's titled "Is it legal for me to record both sides of a phone call in my state?", or someone asks for legal advice, I really think posts like these are inappropriate.... IANAL, and I'm guessing you aren't either. It's annoying when you're looking for a solution and a thread gets filled up with irrelevant posts (yes, I realize this is becoming one of those)... and now you're asking for the thread to be closed... so much for thesfactor's problems, eh?

In a federal court, if ONLY ONE party was aware [you], you're in the clear.

Since state laws supersede federal, you could be charged in the 12 states. But how is the other party going to know? YOU HAVE TO CONFESS TO DOING IT or try to use it in court.

In other words, if you manage to appeal the case to supreme court, you may have a chance.

And I'd prefer if you didn't make calls on which threads should be closed. This is a learning experience.

for me, it's not a learning experience to be told that it's legal to do this when it's not in many states, including my own. the idea of this program may be "cool" to some of you guys but i think it's dangerous for this site to even make light of it in any way. it's worse than Warez.
