Voice recorder apps that run in the background or device that works well from your pocket

October 24, 2024 01:53AM
So for a while I have been using voice recorder apps for exact timing on my shops and helping with quotations. I have had some trouble with my current one. It usually records in the background but doesn't always. Anyone know of a good app free or cheap one time fee? Or a device that works well from your pocket?

If you secretly record conversations in Pennsylvania, be aware that Pennsylvania is a 2-party consent state. You need permission from the person you are recording.

I will anticipate the objection that is always raised when this topic comes up ==> "Who will know?", and there are also issues of a reasonable expectation of privacy. I can't and won't tell you what to do, I am simply advising you of the law in Pennsylvania.

I've been watching The Americans on HULU. I seriously want one of those miniature held hand cameras that the spies use to snap quick photos of license plates or people. So small and so quick, they are undetectable lol.

The widespread overuse of recording technology is creepy. !

Hah. Nancy Drew, of all people, provides a partial solution in some of the old books . If you think someone is listening in, talk about nonsense, disinformation, misinformation, something that will annoy them, or something that will enrage them. Or, just use widely applied miscommunication tactics as some nations do during war and peace times...

I use the AVR Pro app on my iPhone for recording stuff. Only gripe is it used to transfer to Dropbox. Now I have to email recordings to myself prior to posting to reports.

Have synthesizers, will travel...
