Sometimes you’re on a call and you need to record it. Short of putting yourself on speaker phone and setting up a tape recorder, your options are limited. If you’ve got a life that calls for recording calls, check out the Bluetooth Telephone Conversation Recording Device.

This is marketed as a way to catch some illegal activity but it’s actually a handy gadget to have if you happen to have client meetings over the phone or if you do call in interviews. You can even just use it to record messages for friends and family who aren’t on the call at the time.

 

This device connects via Bluetooth within 30 ft and automatically records any and all calls. You don’t have to tell it to do anything, it’s all automated. There’s no change to the call itself and the person on the line won’t know they’re being recorded unless you tell them. Once uploaded to the computer they will be in MP3 or WMA format allowing for easy playback. The battery last for up to 9 hours. The Bluetooth Telephone Conversation Recording Device is $199.
