If you havent seen this A/V feature on how to use Skype of recording interviews, then go through it right now. Its a must.

Great tips on how to optimize the Skype connection with a visual step by step guide. Here’s some additional one’s if you are using Call Graph.

• Record in the stereo mode and 16 KHz sampling rate. In the stereo mode incoming/outgoing voice data is encoding in a separate tracks which makes post editing a lot less painful.
• Use a headset instead of the inbuilt speaker and microphone of your laptop/notebook. Keeps unwanted noises down to the minimum.
• Keep the stats window open and keep an eye on it. If anything goes wrong during the recording, it will show up there.

And get it transcribed by us once the recording is done! its much easier to read through it than listen to it.

Call Graph client version 1.1.0.5 is out. The following changes went into it.

Bug Fixes:

Recording cancellation now works! Fixed a bug introduced in the last version. Thanks to Monica for pointing it out.

Conference call recording has been fixed. Recording is stopped when the last person drops out and not the first.

Fixed a rare crash which used to happen in between the call recording.

Fixed an issue where Call Graph used to hang on startup sometimes.

Association of Call Graph client with the account on CRIMS now works in minimal UI mode. Thanks to Gary for pointing this bug out.

Recording Stats:

Recording statistics has introduced in this release. It displays live stats whenever recording is in progress. Useful if you are recording a podcast or an important call and want to keep a tab on recording status. Its available only in the browser UI mode.

UI Changes:

The recording’s UI has been further cleaned up. The actions have been grouped into a single drop down menu. Check it out.

What’s Next:

Filters, rules etc. Stay tuned.

Please update your installtion now. Thanks!

We get a lot of queries on the Linux and Mac version of our clients. We have a linux client but unfortunately it is not upto the mark. So we have decided to take it offline and work on revamping it. We will re release it sometime early next year (going by our current schedules). A Mac port is also planned around the same time.

If you would like to get your hands on an pre-beta version, then please leave a comment below and we’ll inform you as soon as its done.
