Q: Can you record international calls?
Our Call Recorder App is only able to record calls in the United States and Canada.
Q: How do I import from TapeACall?
The Rev Call Recorder is good for recording any future phone calls that you have and getting them transcribed. But it doesn't have an import feature yet.
If you'd like to export your recordings from TapeACall, the best solution at the moment would be to download our Voice Recorder app.
Once you've downloaded the Voice Recorder, here's how to export your recording from TapeACall:
- Open the TapeACall app
- Select the recording
- Click on the share button on the bottom right
- Select ‘Share the Audio File’
- Click on ‘Copy to Recorder’ (you may have to scroll a bit to the left before you can find this in the share menu)
- And that’s it! The Voice Recorder will automatically open with the newly imported recording.

Due to Apple’s recent update, iOS 13 users of our Rev Call Recorder app must now press “add call” to connect to their recipients and start recording. Below are instructions on how to record phone calls using the Rev Call Recorder on iOS 13.
1. Press “Call +1 (415) 738-2935” to connect to Rev’s recording line

Please note: the app, by default, has a 2-party legal disclosure message that will play to let the other party know they are being recorded. In certain states, it is illegal to record someone without their consent, so it's important to adhere to your State Recording Laws. If you live in a 1-party consent state, you may disable this recording via the settings, by toggling off the 2-party legal disclosure.
