I record my phone calls for personal records. Often I won't hear or remember details, so the recording helps.

Are there legal or other situations in which meeting minutes would be admissible in evidence, but a recording would not be? Obviously this is jurisdiction dependent.



are you asking for permission? without permission they could not be admissible because they were obtained illegally.


Then are you claiming that it is forbidden to remember things?

Who except you would know that you have any recordings? They are just used to help you remember. Remembering exactly what was said.

You might have had your reasoning warped by lawyerings in this case.


i am not claiming that it is forbidden to remember things. but the laws against recordings are pretty explicit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_call_recording_laws

if you make a recording, transcribe it, the delete the recording, it's probably hard to prove you made a recording. better yet with todays technology you can probably make a transcription live. i don't know if feeding he audio into a transcription tool counts as recording.

but the example was to use a recording in court. if you do that then everyone knows.


Which phone and which software?


Samsung S24 Ultra with the stock dialer. I use DW Contacts to manage my address books, but stick with the stock dialer specifically for the recording feature. I understand this is CSC dependent.
