Recording a

Phone Call on an
IPhone
By: Professor Maurer, Lillie Michael, and
Ashley Churchill
Recording a phone call to your voicemail box
*Only use this option if you are calling someone you know or someone who you could easily
explain the steps to!

1. Call the interviewee on your cell phone and ask permission to record the phone call
2. Have the interviewee select add call on his/ her cell phone
3. Interviewee should then dial your number or find your number in their contacts
4. After the person has dialed your number and added you to the call, let the phone ring all
the way until you hear the voicemail message. ***Do not answer the phone call*** IT HAS
TO MAKE IT TO THE VOICEMAIL MESSAGE.
5. Once the voicemail message is finished and you heard the beep you can click merge calls,
and the entire phone call will be recorded into your voicemail box
6. End call as normal, and then the audio will appear in your voicemail box (this step may
take a moment)

***Try to practice with your roommate or friend before the interview, as sometimes your
voicemail box may be full or other issues may arise.
Using Your Voicemail as Audio Files

● Once you have a voicemail saved,


you need to move it around to use it
● When you select a voicemail, you will
see a “share” icon
● You can text it, email it, drop it on
Google Drive, etc.
● You can even share it with an app, for
instance -- Voice Memos!
Recording a Phone Call with a Separate
Device

*To use this option you must have access to two devices: either two
phones, a phone and an IPad, a phone and a laptop, or some other
variation

● First you will call the interviewee


● Then you should ask permission to record the phone call
● Next put the phone on speaker mode
● Start the audio recording on the second device

***Make sure the two devices are close enough together that you can
hear a clear audio of the phone discussion. One way to do this, is to do a
test run with another person before you do the real interview.
Recording Audio on a Mac

● There is a built-in app called


Quicktime that can record audio
● It is in the Applications folder
● Open and pull-down “file”
● Use the record panel that opens
● It creates an M4A file, a common
audio file type
● For more information see:

Recording on an iPad

● Easiest app to use is Voice Memo


● It comes preinstalled on the iPhone
and can be downloaded to the iPad
● Easy to use
● Powerful enough for our purposes
● See:

● Open the app, and click the big red
button. That’s it!

8. Do NOT be alarmed! When you dial the individual you want to


speak with a number (from the app) will call you right before to
begin the recording (+1 888-296-7746).

9. Once you are done with your call the phone recording will be
saved on the app under “profile” (this is also where you can view
the text transcription).

10. *Make sure you are NOT on speaker phone...it creates a lag!
Example of what will appear before the app
number calls you!
**This is a screen recording...it moves fast!
Editing Your Interview After it is Recorded
Why?

● You may have beginning or ending


pauses that only take time, but do not
inform.
● You may have awkward pauses in the
middle
● You may have distracting material in
the middle
● There may just be parts you want to
remove or replace!
Using Voice Memo for Editing

● Once you have a recorded file, you can use


Voice Memos for simple editing
● Tap on the recording you wish to edit
● Use the “Replace” to record over something
(careful! It will just keep going until you stop
recording)
● Advance editing (the blue boxy icon) gives you
trim and delete options
● Use the “Trim”to delete outside your sliders
● Use “Delete” to delete inside your sliders
● To “move it around”, tap on your recording, tap

on the 3 dots, and use “share” (you can email xeUp_qWo
it to yourself for example)
Want More Editing Capability?

● If you want to rearrange chunks of your audio,


you need slightly more capacity.
● Wave Pad is still simple and adds a “cut and
paste” capacity.
● Say you had 3 questions, 1, 2, 3 but you wanted
to rearrange them like 2, 1, 3 -- cut and paste
will get that done
● We won’t cover this in class, but you can see
WavePad this YouTube to help you out:
