Sparky Plus USB Voice Recorder adds a second record path that records the handset microphone signal for the local caller. This path has an adjustable record volume control so that the local caller and remote caller can be recorded at the same level. The volume control is located in the user interface under the device control tab (see picture below), and is called Sparky + Gain. Note that the gain control only appears for Sparky +. The default value for Sparky + gain is 0; and it can be adjusted anywhere between 0 and 255. It should only be adjusted if the low side tone problem exists as described above. Once set to a satisfactory level, there should be no need to re-adjust it because the system will remember and recall the setting every time the recorder interface is started.

The USB Recorder allows the user to record conversations with a touch of a button if on the phone or in a meeting and all conversations are saved to your pc. Delete them at anytime or archive them to a pc or a CD Rom. Record important telephone conversations word-for-word directly onto your computer to help avoid potential misunderstandings. The USB Recorder makes it simple and easy. Just install the software and plug the recorder into a USB port on your computer.

You can also record negotiations, agreements, sales transactions, and any other business you handle by phone. The software time/date stamps each recording, and allows you to manage your stored audio files. E-mail a recording so someone else can listen to it or transfer or copy recordings (onto a CD, for example) to keep in your permanent archives. Users can add bookmarks and write notes while a conversation is being recorded. Once a comment is entered it becomes a pre-selected point from which a conversation or recording can be heard. I.E. once the comment is double clicked the recording starts to play from that location which in this case is 9 minutes into the recording.
