Can I record phone calls with either tool?

RecordX includes a built-in softphone with a real DID number per user so phone calls are recorded natively. Descript does not include a dialer.

Why switch to RecordX

If you spend your day on calls rather than in a NLE, an editor's toolkit is the wrong shape. RecordX captures the call, drops a transcript and summary in the same library, and gives you a phone number that records itself.
