Replace your microcassette voice recorder with your Treo!

I was about to borrow my friend's microcassette voice recorder the other day when it occurred to me that the Treo microphone should be better at picking up meetings, interviews or conversations than previous generations of PalmOS devices. It might just be an upgrade from that recorder I was going to borrow.

After a little investigation and experimentation, I found that Call Rec works great on my Treo 700p, and the microphone actually picks up the sound better than the old fashioned microcassette recorder. In addition, I always have it with me, and it can also record calls, for example if I ever do a phone interview. It also works very simply as a voice memo application to record spoken notes to myself.

The application requires a Treo 650 or Treo 700p smartphone with memory card, and gives you these features:

* Adjustable one button recording.
* Adjustable recording sample rate.
* Direct saving to the SD card.
* Playback recorded files.
* Rename recorded files.
* Select and delete multiple files at once.
* 5-way navigation button support.
* Sort recordings by file name or by duration
* Share your recording with others by IR port, Bluetooth or e-mail
* Automatically record all your incoming and/or outgoing calls
* New, better and more user-friendly interface
* Transfer your recordings to PC with CalRec Conduit

If you have a Treo and a recorder, maybe it's time you consolidate.
