"Record your iPhone calls with Rev Call Recorder

I spend a lot of time interviewing people on the phone. It’s fast, convenient and easy, with no prep time required. Problem is, it’s hard to record and doubly hard to transcribe. Until Rev Call Recorder. Here’s how it helps…

For all the amazing technological advancements in smartphones over the last decade, one thing is still surprisingly difficult: recording a phone call. Yes, there are privacy issues and legal issues, but even if you have consent or live in a state where one party consent is sufficient, it’s still well nigh impossible to accomplish. Part of that is because the iPhone operating system, iOS 12, doesn’t allow apps to gain access to the audio stream of a phone conversation. Typical workaround is to have the phone on speaker and use a separate device to record the audio, but the results are poor to unusable.

The company Rev.com already has a terrific transcription service where you can upload audio files and get a written transcript a few hours later (a service I also utilize) but they recently introduced Rev Call Recorder for the iPhone and it’s pretty slick. It allows you to make clean and balanced recordings of phone calls through an ingenious workaround where you call their service in San Francisco, place your regularly planned call, then merge the two. Their service then records the call and by the time you hang up, it’s ready to replay on your phone. And the call recording is free!

Where it gets really interesting is that the app includes a one-tap transcription service too, so you can get a transcript of your phone call within just a few hours. This is great for legal uses, but it’s also terrific for journalists or anyone who wants a paper trail of their call. Remember, the audio file stays on your phone too, so you can even listen along as you read.
