Abstract

A digital recorder system for use with cellular telephones includes a housing that defines a cavity into which a cellular telephone may be received. During cellular telephone use, a microphone disposed on the housing records sounds, and a speak disposed within the housing plays back sound. A digital recorder within the housing automatically records the past twenty-seconds of conversation. A user may press a control button on the housing to retain up to four such twenty-second segments, and may press another control button on the housing to record sound prospectively. An LED on the housing confirms operational mode of the system.
