This should be possible to do it software, but I don't know about any apps or something else that deals with this. You would probably also need a rooted phone for it to work.
Why should I need a rooted phone? Can't dialer apps send whatever they want through cellular network?
Yes and no. Google put some limitation on the software side. For example, you can't do call record unless you're in a country isn't two party consent.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think it's not the dialer app that operates the microphone, or at least it does not have total control over it, to record something and pass something else to the system.
