Companies and businesses that have digital phone lines from the phone company coming into their buildings will not trigger the recording mechanism, as these recorders have to receive an analog signal to start operating. One thing to note, however, is that line activated recorders do not operate on digital multi-line phone systems. So, the batteries last only for 8 hours, regardless of length of conversations recorded. Voice activated recorders use battery power simply waiting for a phone call. Thus, although a month can pass before, say, 15 hours of phone conversation is used up, the batteries (2 AAA) will last that long. In line activated models, battery power is not used in between phone calls.

These phone recorders come in two major types―line Activated and voice Activated.

These systems are also smaller than cassette recorders some as small as 5 inches in length. These devices are totally silent as there are no running tapes that can be heard as the machine records. Recordings can be played and replayed without the quality of the recorded voice or two-way conversation put to risk. There are no tapes which can be damaged, worn out, or torn. This amazing technology also provides improved voice clarity. Almost ninety-six hours of conversations can be recorded on top-of-the-line devices. There are different features available depending on the manufacturer and the budget. While recording phone conversations is not a new thing, a digital phone recorder far exceeds the competition―the cassette recorder―in performance. There are several reasons why conversations need to be recorded, and using the latest technology will allow users to do so with convenience and speed.
