While Total Recorder can be used to record Skype calls here is some
information about another program that can do this. This message was

Subject: Important for those interested in registering Power Gramo!
hi folks
I finally did it! Registering PowerGramo, the program to record skype calls
took me quite a while.
To say this was an arduous task is an understatement. The program itself
works very well after it's registered, but registering it is quite a
chore. The thing is that this company prefers to send you your
registration code via skype chat. I don't know about window-eyes users, but
with JAWS 7, the only way to read skype chat messages is to use your JAWS
cursor.
Oh booooy, what fun.
Ok, so the dude finally comes online and he sends me a message and he's all
like, paste in the code for your product and i'll send you back another
code you can paste in. So I do that and he sends me back one of the
longest registration codes I've ever seen, probably more than 50 characters
long.
Ok, so now the question is, how to get this thing from the skype chat
window to the proper dialogue box? What I ended up doing was just writing
it down in note pad and then i copied and pasted it into the dialogue box
for Power Gramo.
It took me a couple tries, but I finally did it!
So, if you're going to register the program, you might like to get sighted
help to make it easier, or barring that, you could do what i did and write
the numbers and digits into note pad and save it.
As for the program itself, it's awesome. The free version will only record
one side of a skype conversation, while the pro version will record both
sides and even split it into separate audio tracks. You will be on the
left side, and your skype buddy will be on the right.
The sound quality can be adjusted in the tools menu, under options. The
slider has 3 settings, 0 percent which is low quality, 50% which is medium
and 100% which is high quality, bet you couldn't guess!!
Window-eyes may read this slider bar differently, but that's how JAWS 7
reads it.
The program records calls and saves them in its own proprietary file
format, but you can easily export your calls in the file menu, export record.
You can choose either Ogg Vorbis, or .wav. Mp3 will be coming in the next
pro release they say.
To do this, just focus on the call you want to export and then go to the
file menu and do it like I said above. You might even like to create a
folder on your hard drive called calls or something to make it easier.
Remember, the calls aren't automatically saved in .ogg or .wav, you have to
export them yourself. So the program itself is extremely accessible, they
just need to work on the registration process!
It's a pain to have to deal with, and I plan on writing to them and
suggesting an alternative method for registration. I suppose I should give
the website out for this, i imagine people will wonder what it is? it's
called Power Gramo, and it can be gotten from
http://www.powergramo.com
The standard version is free and the pro is $19.95.
