The phonograph is a device developed in 1877 for the mechanised tracking and reproduction of sound. In its later forms additionally it is called a gramophone (as a trademark since 1887, as a generic name since c. 1900). The audio vibration waveforms are noted as equivalent physical deviations of a spiral groove imprinted, etched, incised, or impressed into the surface of any rotating disc or cylinder, called a "record". To recreate the audio, the top is similarly rotated while a playback stylus traces the groove and is therefore vibrated by it, very reproducing the documented sound faintly. In early acoustic phonographs, the stylus vibrated a diaphragm which produced sound waves which were coupled to the open air by way of a flaring horn, or directly to the listener's ears through stethoscope-type earphones. In later electric phonographs (also called record players (since 1940s) or, most recently, turntables), the movements of the stylus are converted into an analogous electric powered signal by the transducer, then altered back to sound with a loudspeaker.

The phonograph was invented in 1877 by Thomas Edison. While other inventors got produced devices that could record sounds, Edison's phonograph was the first to have the ability to reproduce the recorded sound. His phonograph formerly recorded audio onto a tinfoil sheet covered around a rotating cylinder. A stylus responding to appear vibrations produced an and down or hill-and-dale groove in the foil up. Alexander Graham Bell's Volta Laboratory made several improvements in the 1880s, like the use of wax-coated cardboard cylinders, and a cutting stylus that moved from side to side in a "zig zag" groove round the record.

Within the 1890s, Emile Berliner initiated the transition from phonograph cylinders to chiseled discs with a spiral groove operating from the periphery to nearby the center. Later improvements over time included improvements to the turntable and its drive system, the needle or stylus, and the equalization and sound systems.

The disk phonograph record was the dominant audio saving format throughout the majority of the 20th century. In the mid-1980s on, phonograph use on a standard record player declined sharply due to rise of the cassette tape, compact disc and other digital tracking formats. Information remain a popular format for a few audiophiles and DJs. Vinyl records are being used by some DJs and musicians in their concert performances still. Musicians continue to release their recordings on vinyl records. The initial recordings of musicians are occasionally re-issued on vinyl.

Using terminology is not homogeneous over the English-speaking world (see below). In more modern usage, the playback device is categorised as a "turntable", "record player", or "record changer". When found in conjunction with a mixing machine as part of a DJ installation, turntables are often called "decks".

The word phonograph ("sound writing") was derived from the Greek words ???? (phon?, "sound" or "voice") and ????? (graph?, "writing"). The similar related conditions gramophone (from the Greek ?????? gramma "letter" and ???? ph?n? "voice") and graphophone have similar main meanings. The origins were already familiar from existing 19th-century words such as picture ("light writing"), telegraph ("distant writing"), and phone ("distant sound"). The new term may have been inspired by the prevailing words phonographic and phonography, which described something of phonetic shorthand; in 1852 THE BRAND NEW York Times transported an ad for "Professor Webster's phonographic class", and in 1859 the brand new York State Professors Connection tabled a motion to "hire a phonographic recorder" to record its meetings.

Arguably, any device used to record sound or reproduce recorded audio could be called a type of "phonograph", however in common practice the portrayed word has come to signify traditional systems of audio documenting, involving audio-frequency modulations of a physical groove or trace.

In the past due 19th and early 20th hundreds of years, "Phonograph", "Gramophone", "Graphophone", "Zonophone" and so on were still brand names specific to various creators of sometimes very different (i.e. cylinder and disc) machines; so appreciable use was made of the general term "talking machine", in print especially. "Talking machine" had earlier been used to refer to complicated devices which produced a crude imitation of speech, by simulating the workings of the vocal cords, tongue, and mouth - a potential source of misunderstandings both and today then.

In British English, "gramophone" may make reference to any sound-reproducing machine using disk records, which were popularized and launched in the united kingdom by the Gramophone Company. Originally, "gramophone" was a proprietary trademark of this company and any use of the name by competing makers of disc records was vigorously prosecuted in the courts, but in 1910 an English court decision decreed that it had turn into a generic term; it's been so used in the UK & most Commonwealth countries since. The word "phonograph" was usually restricted to machines which used cylinder records.

"Gramophone" generally described a wind-up machine. After the introduction of the softer vinyl fabric documents, 33 1/3-rpm LPs (long-playing records) and 45-rpm "single" or two-song documents, and EPs (extended-play recordings), the normal name became "record player" or "turntable". Often the home record player was part of a system that included a radio (radiogram) and, later, may also play audiotape cassettes. From about 1960, such a system began to be described as a "hi-fi" (high-fidelity, monophonic) or a "stereo" (most systems being stereophonic by the mid-1960s).

In Australian English, "record player" was the word; "turntable" was a more complex term; "gramophone" was limited to the old mechanised (i.e., wind-up) players; and "phonograph" was used as with British English.
