While "phonograph" is the technically correct term, "gramophone" became the popular name for the device in the early 20th century, especially in Britain and other parts of the world.
Here are some other, less common names for the phonograph:
* Talking Machine: This was a popular name in the early days of the phonograph.
* Sound Box: This term refers to the phonograph's ability to reproduce sound.
* Record Player: This term is more commonly used for the later development of the phonograph, which used records instead of cylinders.
* Victrola: This is a brand name that became synonymous with the phonograph, similar to how "Kleenex" became synonymous with tissues.
Ultimately, "gramophone" is the most commonly accepted alternative name for the phonograph.
