Simple Device

Works as a simple audio splitter.

The call is captured, and its signal is converted to look like an ‘external mic’ for recording devices. All this is done in hardware, so no special apps are required!

How do you use RECAP, the phone call recording adapter?

As shown below, RECAP goes between your phone and headset, providing an output to a recording device.

Connection diagram showing how RECAP connects a phone, headset and recording device, so that calls can be recorded.

Compatibility: The “CALL” device must have a 3.5mm combo port and a compatible headset, and the “REC” device must have a 3.5mm stereo microphone input port.

Note: Additional adapters are required if your device does not have the correct port. See FAQ below.

RECAP S2 has a stereo output. You get one channel on each side of the call, making the ideal technical solution for recording phone calls.

As shown in the sound amplitude diagram above, what you say in the microphone is delivered to the right channel, and what you hear on the call goes to the left channel.

Separate channels are ideal for audio processing. If you have an unbalanced call volume (one side much louder than the other), you can use an audio software tool, such as Audacity, to amplify the audio of one channel and balance it out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: My phone does not have a 3.5mm audio jack. Can I use RECAP as the “CALL DEVICE”?

A: Sure! If you have an iPhone you’ll need this adapter – Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter. If you have an Android phone with a USB-C port, you’ll need a USB-C to 3.5mm Adapter. These adapters give you the 3.5mm headset port. See adapters here.

Q: My “RECORDING DEVICE” does not have a STEREO 3.5mm port. Can I still use RECAP?

A: If you have a PC or Mac computer with a USB port, add a USB Microphone adapter to give it a stereo 3.5mm port. If you want to record on a phone or tablet, check out this article: How to Record Stereo Sound Calls on Your iPhone and iPad. See adapters here.

Q: My “RECORDING DEVICE” is a Digital Voice Recorder. Does that work with RECAP?
