Home / Audio and Video / Blog / Podcasting / Call Recorder: Skype recorder for Mac!
One area that always frustrated me was trying to get good reliable phone recordings using Skype when I was still in the PC camp. I must’ve tried every app out there. However about 90% of the time the recordings were out of sync. It was a common problem for many PC users.
Last year when I switched to the Mac platform however the options were slim to none in this arena. I tried several apps that were supposed to work but again, I got wonky results.
But, finally I have found a recording app that really does what it says it will, and it is called simply Call Recorder from a company called Ecamm.
Wow. It is SIMPLE to use. When you log onto your Skype account it starts up in a little side window. When you are ready to start recording just click on the record button and that’s it. When you’re finished, press stop. The result is a very nice, crisp, natural sounding .mov audio file. I’ve only tested it a few times but one conversation was 20 minutes and there was absolutely no out-of-sync issues. FWIW, I chose Medium Quality setting and the quality was superb!
However what makes this even better is the ability to also record video chats via Skype with PIP option as well. Haven’t tried that yet, though.
They give you a fully functional 7 day trial which is also great (for those like me that’ve been burnt a few times with these type apps).
How much? That’s even better: $14.95. Wow again!
Thank you Ecamm for this great product!
