A friend living in Avida Land Antipolo asked me the other day about how to record a Skype call. Fortunately, I found the wondrously shared techie thoughts from a geeky gal over at TheGeeketteSpeaketh.com
In her blog post entitled The Challenges of Recording a Skype Call, we learn that she used a program called Skype Call Recorder, which was perfect for her since she is using an Asus Eee PC.
And yes, we’re talking about open source software here, so you can safely keep your credit card and wallet away from the computer. There’s no need to spend extra cash just so that you can get your Skype recording going, right?
Now going back to the experience of the Geekette, she did face some challenges when saving the recording to her SD card, but was able to fix things by using the proper format.
If you’re not using an Asus Eee PC, you can try using a software called Pamela to record your Skype conversations. Please test it first, though, to see if you will be satisfied with the quality of the recording. (I was not that happy, but who knows? The quality might suit you.)
What’s so great about recording a Skype call? Assuming you have permission from the person you’re speaking with, you can take that recording and have it transcribed. If the content is useful enough, you might even put up both the recording and the transcript for sale. Afterall, a lot of people hunger for learning, and will use the internet to satisfy that need.
So if you like interviewing experts via Skype, try the recorded Skype call technique today.
