Record Skype calls for free – CallGraph

February 19, 2008
By sinha

Bangalore based Sedna Wireless has launched CallGraph, a free skype recording tool that lets you record the Skype calls as well as tag and search them.callgraph

There are couple of other recording tools available for Skype – but most of them are ‘bundled’ with limitations (PrettyMay’s free version will stop recording after few minutes, HotRecorder’s free version is ad-supported and so on). CallGraph lets you record calls for free without any constraint on the recording time.

Other features:

  • Full Skype Support: Record Skype to Skype, SkypeIn, SkypeOut calls.
  • Completely Free: no limits or restrictions of any kind.
  • Call Tagging: assign tags to your records, edit them, update them.
  • Integrated Search: search through your calls records.

Do give CallGraph a try and share your comments. The product is in beta stage right now, so expect some rough edges.

    Actually none of these programs can be free. The only one i have found that records skype-to-skype calls for free is PowerGramo . But you should pay for skype in/out recording.

    To record other VoIP clients/softphones, I think vEmotion is a good suggestion.

    Xtend IVR will let you do that and more if you are programmatically inclined. This is not an end-user product, but more of a toolkit that can be used to implement practically any type of CTI solution. The developer edition includes an unrestricted single port runtime. Skype is one of the supported devices and a method of recording calls can be found in the answering machine sample (Caveat: Vista is not yet supported).

    More info about using this toolkit with Skype can be found in this blog post -> http://jayakrishnan.livejournal.com/1883.html

    Oh… and the company is Indian :-) .

  11. Jim on February 28, 2008 at 11:22 pm

    How will you monetize the product? Do you plan to build sevices around the product?
    Neat product – but I am a little skeptical of “freebies”! :)

    (The ‘Google’ effect? :D )

  12. Rajiv on February 28, 2008 at 11:47 pm

    @Jim

    Great that you liked the product. We do plan to build services around it. Lookout for a host of features in the near future.
