Softtrends' LivePVR gives new meaning to "voice recording"

by Chris Ziegler, posted Sep 9th 2006 at 11:01PM

Our paranoid side tells us this app has "lawsuit" written all over it, but we're excited nonetheless. LivePVR, as its name suggests, acts as something of a PVR for voice; in its "meeting notes" mode, for example, it keeps a rolling buffer while recording, allowing the user to permanently save clips leading up to the moment. The more legally questionable "phone call" mode can be set up to automatically record every conversation or just the next call placed. A final "voice recorder" mode acts as a more traditional voice note app, with no limit to a note's maximum size. The whole package scoots out the door for $10 in Windows Mobile or S60 flavors.

This looks like a fantastic application. I downloaded and installed for use on my WM5 Sprint Treo 700WX but have yet to successfully record a phone call. I have emailed SoftTrends for support and am waiting for a response. I'm very excited about this app and will leave another comment when I hear back from the software manufacturer

I talked to the CEO of SoftTrends today and he was very helpful and forthcoming. He has put me in touch with the support staff and we are in the process of resolving the issues I am having. As for this other "F-R-E-E" app that jack here mentioned, I must say it seems to be quite a J-O-K-E. That is unless of course you prefer for every personal communication you make on your mobile phone to be uploaded to a random server where god knows who has access to it.
