There have been many times that I wish I had been able to record a phone call. Negotiations, complex customer service requests, the last conversation with my grandpa before he died – all things I wish I could have saved. I’ve searched for iPhone apps to do this, but Apple doesn’t let developers touch and tweak the Phone application.
So I created SecureSpeak.com. It’s a way to record phone calls by doing a 3-way call – you, the person you want to call, and the recording phone line. After you hang up, an mp3 of the recording is emailed to you. Super. Simple.
There are similar apps out there, but all of them require you to know ahead of time that you want to record the call. The way SecureSpeak is designed, you can conference in the recording line at any time during a call, and not have to record 10 minutes of pleasantries before getting to the core of the conversation.
The ones for iOS are mostly VOIP, and depending on your data signal, can lead to some pretty low quality recordings. This system purely uses the phone waves, and leads to higher quality and more reliable calls.
So check out the site and look at how to record phone calls. Starting plans are just $14.99/month, and is worth every penny when you can present concrete evidence in a sticky situation.
