ot:recording from phone

[Ameer Armaly]

Hi all.
I would like to know the  best way to record what's going on  on my phone line; my cordless phone has one of thos really skinny audio plugs, but I've never seen a plug for those on any soundcard that I've ever seen.
Advice would be appreciated
thanks,

How about a phone aptch? It's a suction cup that sticks on the back of the
phone, and plugs into a standard microphone jack, and records the audio as
if it's a microphone.

I just take a wire with 2 1/8in jacks on it and plug one end into the 
speaker jack on my voicemodem and the other into either the mic or 
linein jack on my soundcard.

My experience with those has been that:

1. The quality of the recording isn't as good as I think it could
   be.

2. I've found a very limited amount of hand sets that the cup will
actually suction to. The ear piece part has to have a perfectly flat
plain a bit bigger then the cup's size, otherwise, it won't stay
attached. There are supposedly things that are a tape deck, to which
you attach the phone line, and then you attach the phone. Sort of like
a record-only answering machine that doesn't pick up the phone and
play a greeting. However, I've never used one of these.

Ok, but not every modem has audio jacks on the back, so that may not

those pickup coils work best on the old western electric k500 
deskphones (the ones where you can unscrew the mic/earpiece). I've 
heard recordings from those and they're not bad. but unfortunately 
most people probably don't have that kind of phone.

Radio shack use to carry a phone recorder.  I purchased one back in 97.  It

Re: recording from phone

[Luke Davis]

I have never had good experiences with the transeducer style phone 
pickups.  There is always a buz, the voices are frequently difficult to 
make out, and as Greg said, getting them to stay connected to the back of 
your receiver, is usually a losing battle.

Some places sell a little device, that connects between the receiver and 
the base, which can be plugged into a recorder.  They are okay, but also 
aren't the best, and they only work on a system, where the handset is only 
a speaker and microphone, not the type with dialing apperatis, and most of 
the other phone functions, in the handset.

These can be had from C. Crane (800-522-TUNE).

The best way I have found, is to use a device that is designed to connect 
to the phone system directly, and not to any particular phone.  That is, 
the sort that plug into a telephone wall jack.
There are tape recorders made for this (I think C. Crane's Versacorder can 
do this, but I'm not certain), and there are also small devices that 
interface to a tape recorder, or other recording system, which you 
provide.  That is the kind I have currently.  Cost about fourty bucks 
including shipping, and worked quite well.

I get my stuff of this kind, from:

I probably could dig up some plans for one of the devices that

one with a week rf transmitter...only problem is they take some basic

the advantage is they take only about a $5 trip to your favorite

Hi all,
I set the lynx options to show cursor and links are
numbered.  Speakup now reads the links as I pass over
them with the arrow keys BUT if there is more than one
link per line Speakup will read thw whole line over
and over as I pass each link.  Is there a way to mae
Speakup read JUST what is highlighted by the cursor?

RE: recording from phone

[Dawes, Stephen]

I may be blowing smoke here, don't know what I am talking about, or
maybe on to something.

Is it possible to just redirect the audio using a voice modem. 
After all, isn't the voice modem just another device?
If so, why not do that, and use a record tool on the Linux box. 
Is this missing the obvious?
