Voice recorder

Have you ever wished you could review a conversation with your doctor?  Or your lawyer? Or your financial adviser?  Or......?  A smartphone can easily record those conversations or meeting for future review.

What apps should you use? 
On an iPhone, use Voice Memos; the app is already on your phone, but it may be hidden;
On an Android device - Voice Recorder, available from the Google Play Store.

How does it work? 
1)  If you are in the office of your doctor, lawyer, etc. simply touch the app to begin recording.  Even long meetings do not take up a large amount of storage on your device.
2)  If you want to record a phone conversation, Voice Memos /Voice Recorder will need to be installed/run on a second device.  The call will need to be completed on speakerphone, then the second device (another smartphone or tablet) will record the conversation. You can not record on the phone you are using for the conversation.

We have found these recordings to be valuable when reviewing hour-long meetings and appointments at a later date.  These voice recordings have also made it easy for me to share information with my brother after some of my mom's appointments. This morning friends of ours who were having a videoconference with an oncologist were able to record the audio to share with their children.

The hardest thing about recording:  REMEMBERING to turn on the app when the meeting/conversation begins! :-)
