Recaller

Contents

Overview

Recaller is a widget(for the Maemo desktop) which allows your N900 to record all kind of audio ("Rec-All" :-) Starting with version 2.0 (currently in extras-devel), it has the following features:

  • Auto-recording of GSM calls
  • Useable as dictaphone
  • Record device audio (e.g. FM or internet radio, game sounds)
  • Configurable Save Folder
  • Autonaming of files (including call partner number)

PLEASE donate if recaller is useful to you. Donations give me motivation, encouragement and happiness (plus pocket money :-)

Help

If there is no big red button on the desktop after installing the widget, simply reboot your phone.

Please use the settings mode of the Desktop to configure recaller to your needs. You can change the following settings:

  • Save folder location (where recaller puts its recordings)
  • Audio source when manually recording (with Autorec enabled, recaller will automatically switch to Phone or Bluetooth recording mode)
  • File Format (AAC is available on all phones, is compact and clear, playback on most computers possible, but uses high CPU. Other available formats [FLAC, WAV] might not work for everybody or use too much storage).
  • Autorec automatically starts the recording of GSM calls (in- and outgoing)
  • Show reminders puts up a banner every 30 seconds to remind you of an ongoing recording). Icon on desktop also changes to green when a recording is ongoing.

Screenshot

Not much to see, just a big red "REC" icon on the desktop.
