The Dictaphones can be very useful for perform dictations or even record conferences, interviews and other important conversations. You can even use a dictaphone to record phone calls. However, this can be difficult without proper equipment.

What equipment do you need to record

In addition to your cell phone and dictaphone, you'll also need to purchase a mobile recording cable to efficiently record both sides of a phone conversation. The recording thread is a intra-ear microphone connected to a wire that plugs into the 3.5 mm microphone jack of the dictaphone.

How to record a phone call with your dictaphone 

For record a call on a mobile phone, first connect the mobile phone's recording wire to the dictaphone. Place the microphone headset of the recording wire in your phone's earpiece and press "record" and then operate the voice recorder. At that time, you can dial the number of your choice. Make sure you hold the cell phone close to your ear like when you make a normal call. While the dictaphone records your voice, the microphone of the recording wire in your ear captures the conversation of the other party. This is the microphone that will allow your dictaphone to record the voice of the person you are calling. The direct microphone wire records the sound without echo and does not disturb the sound quality.

Is there a simpler alternative to recording with a dictaphone  

The easiest way to record a phone conversation is put the phone in speaker mode. All you have to do is start your Dictaphone and get as close as possible to the smartphone. Unfortunately, in the absence of direct cable power to the recorder, this technique often produces lower audio quality than previous solutions. However, this technique is fast and the least complicated to set up.
