5. Press 'Call' to connect to Rev's recorder when prompted

7. After your call connects, merge the calls to start recording

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:

1. Open the TapeACall app
2. Select the recording
3. Click on the share button on the bottom right
4. Select ‘Share the Audio File’
5. Click on ‘Copy to Recorder’ (you may have to scroll a bit to the left before you can find this in the share menu)
6. And that’s it! The Voice Recorder will automatically open with the newly imported recording.
