Have you ever thought of recording all your telephone calls fully automatically? Maybe you have, but chances are you never found the right solution.

A PC equipped with one or more Soft Call Recorders is the ideal means of recording telephone calls. The computer has no problem coping with archives of tens of thousands - maybe even hundreds of thousands - of telephone calls and the thousands of hours of recording time involved. Imagine trying to store all these telephone calls on cassettes...

Recording telephone calls
If you are doing important business by telephone, one day you will be very glad to have a recording of the conversation. These are some facts about recording telephone calls:

• Recording telephone calls is normal practice in many organizations, both businesses and government bodies. The conversations held with them are recorded so that there is proof of agreements reached.
• An oral agreement, including one made on the telephone, is legally binding. If such an agreement is later challenged, it will be difficult to find evidence. If the telephone call was recorded you will have no difficulty doing so.
• A recording of a telephone call is generally accepted as evidence. Thanks to this recording you will prove your case.
• The hard disk of a modern PC has extra space for at least 2400 hours of recorded telephone calls (10Gb), not including your own data already stored on it.

• Banks and other financial institutions
• Call-centres
• Businesses
• Firms dealing with the general public, such as taxis, pizza deliverers, cinemas and theatres
• Private individuals with many business contacts

The Soft Call Recorder has been specially designed as a less expensive alternative to the normal Call Recorder. Thanks to Vidicode's long experience with providing stand-alone Call Recorders, they are able to offer exactly those features needed to make the application of the Soft Call Recorder successful.

Central archiving via a network

Two Models

The Soft Call Recorder can be supplied in two models: The Classic, to be connected to the sound card, and the Soft Call Recorder 'USB', which does not require a sound card.

Soft Call Recorder Classic
This model Call Recorder is connected to one of the audio inputs of the PC sound card. Thanks to a unique detection circuit the recorder will tell the PC when the telephone rings, is taken off the hook and put back on again. When used with an analogue line it determines precisely when a call starts and when it finishes. This Soft Call Recorder does not require a USB port. It is therefore suitable for PC's and notebooks with all versions of Microsoft Windows from Win95 and later.

Soft Call Recorder USB
This model is either connected directly to the USB port of the PC, or via a hub. The PC will therefore not require a sound card. The Soft Call Recorder records the sound digitally straightaway. If necessary, loudspeakers can be connected directly to the Soft Call Recorder to reproduce the sound. This Soft Call Recorder can also either be connected to the telephone receiver or to the telephone line, and detects the telephone ringing as well as it going on or off the hook to the line. Up to six of these Soft Call Recorders can be connected to one PC, with the possibility of recording simultaneously from all lines.
