Skype Recording

Will Richardson at Weblogg-ed posts about Skype Recording using a free plugin called PowerGramo.  Not a single one of my Skype contacts has signed in this AM so I haven’t tested it, but it seems pretty straightforward.  As per usual, it only works on WinXP and Win2K, sorry Macfans 🙁  Will raves about it, and when I downloaded my copy I was only #950, so it seems pretty new.  Will let you know how it works.  Why use it?  Well, podcasting interviews is the obvious reason, but I guess it could be useful to record a conversation with one of your distance students and then fire it back to him/her as a reference.

  1. I just tried PowerGramo and it seems to work quite well. Before that I had tried Audacity and a few others. Let´s hope the experience lasts 🙂

  2. Thanks for the update, Eugene. While I haven’t had occasion to use it in production, the tests I ran with it did have quite good quality.

  3. I am using free new utility SoliCall (www.solicall.com). SoliCall records my Skype calls and in addition SoliCall reduces background noise thus improving the quality of my calls.
    BTW, SoliCall works with any softphone (e.g. Skype, Google Talk and Yahoo Messenger).
