As an attorney, I love when I get a client like this who has tons and tons of records.
I recently had a case where my client, who uses a service dog, was denied a hotel reservation because of the dog. The hotel’s attorney called me and said “I spoke with the other person, she said this never happened, and he never said it was a service animal.” Well, my client, due to his disability, uses a telephone system that records all of his calls. I sent over the recording, and it clearly showed that he identified a service animal, and the person just said “no.” Now that lawyer knows his client’s a liar.
- nabla9 4y agoOlympus Telephone Recording Device (TP-8) costs something like $25. It's simply brilliant. It plugs into any recorder with 3.5mm plug and because it's device you have in your ear it works with any call (normal phone call, WhatsApp whatever). Reporters routinely use it with Olympus voice recorders to make phone interviews. I highly recommend.
- thathndude 4y agoNot your lawyer legal advice: Make sure you are aware of the relevant laws regarding recording phone conversations. Having said that, thanks for the equipment tip!
- maccard 4y agoNot looking for legal advice but: how does that work in the context that the other party is recording my call? If I phone a service provider, they tell me calls are recorded for training and monitoring purposes - does this prove they've given consent to both parties recording?
- ClumsyPilot 4y agoAlso did you agree to be recorded without duress, if you have to tall to them and they won't talk without recording?
- CPLX 4y ago> If I phone a service provider, they tell me calls are recorded for training and monitoring purposes Yes. If you're recording a call and it says "Your calls may be recorded" from their end that would be an open and shut argument that they've given permission for you to record the call.

- ornornor 4y agoI don’t understand how it works. It only has one jack. What do you plug it into? How do you get any audio into the earphone AND record both sides of the call? Or is it just like any microphone and you have to put the phone on speaker and basically record the ambiant audio?
- nabla9 4y agoYou plug it into anything that records sound. The earpiece has a good microphone that captures both sides. I was skeptical at first, but It just works. It records both sides of conversation well.

- rr808 4y agoYou'd think there would be an app for this, or even built into the ios/android.
- ntoskrnl 4y agoGoogle has actually been fighting call recording apps for years. California is a two-party consent state, but most states are one-party consent (and many countries don't have legal restrictions at all). They're basically enforcing California law globally. It's extremely frustrating to have your phone force-upgraded only to lose important features. https://www.pcmag.com/news/google-is-banning-call-recording-apps-on-android https://www.pcmag.com/news/google-is-banning-call-recording-...
- nunez 4y agoThere used to be for Android, but Google has restricted audio routing during calls to prevent two-way recording (i.e. you'll only hear yourself). iOS used to have this capability for jail-broken devices way back in the day; not sure if it still does. I'm guessing that the state-level consent laws make it difficult for Apple and Google to bake in phone recording.
- Doxin 4y agoThat's such a clever way to do that. Amazing in its simplicity.
- ungamed 4y agoCan you use it with the phone you're talking on ?
