True, but I don’t know many people who carry, let alone have handheld recorders, although I have two (mini cassette and standard), so as a guess I would think Skype (webcam) would work; just record yourself while on the call. I don’t know how long it would record for (unlimited perhaps?) and you’d have to still put your call on speaker, but since it records, I would think it would work too; or a computer microphone. Here again you would need a recording app on your computer.
