Podcast Conference Call recording services (i.e. record a conference call to an MP3/WAV file)
Does anyone out there have advice or recommendations on how to record a conference call to an MP3? I’ve found a number of services online that seem to do it:
- www.voicetext.com — seems very expensive
- LiveOffice ( http://freeconferencing.liveoffice.com/ ) — seems expensive at .08 a minute per caller (i.e. five people for one hour would be 300 minutes x .08 = $240. I could build a studio after 10 calls.
- http://www.audiofilesolutions.com — seems cool since they have a transcription service. About.com did an interview with them here.
Since the podcast is for a charity perhaps one of these folks would be kind of enough to donate their services for a Calacanis-style plug?!?!

This post has a 2006 date, but I thought I would submit this for your review if you have not found a better alternative.

It looks as though this site was in partnership with LiveOffice, but that relationship was dissolved.
The site provides several features that seem to fit what you were looking for and we will be testing it for our podcast in the next couple of weeks.

Your math is off on the second example…300 x .08 is $24.00

peeps out there sill finding this blog because they need to
podcast conference calls, I recommend http://www.podference.com

I’ve personally record over 2,000 conference calls in 4 years.
And make them into mp3 and posting to websites.

Thanks for this blog. A company in St. Louis needed a conference ca
call record that same day. Needed it edited and send to them.
Since it was multiple persons doing the interview. I adjust the vol
volumes and de-noised it. I used yousendit to send to them. But also
also put it up on my backup for audios. Then interesting enough
it will go out to 1 million lister database.
I do something similar with my live video conferencing company
6 webcam , slides, pointers, voip and then bring in 5 to
thousands and record it all on-the fly.
