There is a gizmo which you plug into the phone and into any recording device in the mike jack (analogue or digital), the sound quality is crystal. I think it costs about £5.
A gizmo -- That's from Gremlins -- I didn't know you could gizmo into a phone live and learn

I got one of these too with my new Olympus DM-10 and it barely picks up = the other person on the phone, even if you turn it around in your ear to = face the receiver screen. It picks up MY voice just fine, but since I = am currently doing genealogy interviews that's _not_ what I want to = record. The built in mike works extremely well if I put my phone on = speakerphone (which is all I have at home with the 2ghz phone - there is = no wire to the base unit in my office at all), but I guess I need to = explore a mike that sits on the phone line between the handset and the = instrument on phones that are wired. I am pretty sure that it is not a = problem with the connection that you plug into - I have had very good = results from both the external Olympus powered conference mike and the = supplied stereo microphone (came with the DM-10) on the same recorder, = in a room full of people.

You can buy a special microphone from Olympus for telephone recording. = It also doubles as an earpiece. For recording, you plug it into the = external microphone input, for listening, into the earphone. It uses a =
2.5 millimetre plug (I think it was designed for the Olympus Pearlcorder =
series) and you have to use an adapter PA3 (which can be supplied on = request ).
I have had mine for about 18 months and occasionally use it with my = Olympus DS 3000. A slight drawback is that on digital phones and = cellphones there is quite a lot of background hum, but the conversation = (from both ends) is perfectly intelligible.

Subject: recording telephone interviews?
Hi
I wonder if anyone can help me with an annoying technical problem. We = recently moved over from minidisk to Olympus DS-2200 digital recorder = for interviews, which is great quality and interfaces easily with the PC = etc. However, when we tried to use this for telephone interviews we ran = into a major problem.=20
The input socket on the recorder works perfectly with the external = stereo mic plugged in but doesn't work at all (or shorts out?) when the = mono plug from the telephone adaptor is plugged in. No recording and it = degrades the telephone signal. A stereo plug adaptor doesn't solve the = problem. For the moment, we've had to revert to copying minidisks again = (aaargh!).
Can anyone suggest a solution or recommend a digital recorder that = actually works with a telephone adaptor! :o)
=A0=20
