G-Recorder: Record Skype Calls and Chats to Gmail
[ No Comments ] Posted on 02.09.10 under Communications
February 9, 2010: IM-History has announced the release of G-Recorder, a handy tool for recording Skype chats and calls to Gmail. Such a solution is a must-have for those who conduct business negotiations or learn foreign languages via Skype, as no PC troubles would ever affect important records. Besides, G-Recorder makes it possible to access the records online from any PC or mobile device. It is remarkable that right after the release G-Recorder was nominated for Best IM Feature 2010 by About.com!
Skype, being widely used for video calls, audio conversations and instant messaging, does not support any recording features. This problem can be solved with any of numerous call recorders, but in this case Skype records are kept on a certain PC and can be lost due to Windows reinstallation, hard drive crash, etc. As for G-Recorder, this useful solution is developed to store important audio conversations and chat log safely on Gmail.
Each conversation is kept as an MP3 file in a separate e-mail and can be accessed from another PC or mobile device connected to the Internet. For example, when on a business trip, the user can easily replay calls made from his workplace PC. Moreover, G-Recorder allows recording Skype calls from multiple computers to one Gmail account, arranging them chronologically (it is possible to use one G-Recorder license on up to 10 computers under the same Skype name).
By the way, the useful features of G-Recorder do not interfere with its simplicity and convenience. Configuration is guided by a simple wizard, and the interface is quite clear and intuitive.
Features:
- Recording of Skype calls to Gmail;
- Access to records anytime from any PC or mobile device;
- Recording of Skype calls from multiple computers under the same Skype account;
- Clear interface and configuration wizard.
Pricing and Availability
G-Recorder runs under WinXP, WinVista, Win7 and costs 25.00 USD for a single-user license. Further information on the product, as well as its free 14-days trial edition, is available from http://www.g-recorder.com

UK’s NHS Connecting for Health selects DetachPipe for E-Mail Attachment Management
[ Comments Off ] Posted on 10.14.09 under ASP Member Companies, Communications
Melbourne, Australia – September 30, 2009 – DataMystic announces the UK’s NHS Connecting for Health has selected DetachPipe to assist 350,000 NHSmail users manage their email attachments.
DetachPipe is an add-on integrated into Microsoft Outlook for one-click saving, compressing and deleting of attachments. A convenient hyperlink is left in each email and attachments can be saved with the original or a new name and saved in a folder structure based on several email variables (sender, subject, date etc.).
Initially, 10,000 key NHS users had to urgently reduce their massive Outlook Mailbox/PST file sizes before they were migrated to the new NHSmail platform. DetachPipe can be rapidly deployed because training is not required – it leverages the familiar email workflow used every day.
DetachPipe can automatically save incoming attachments and re-attaches files if you forward the original email (just like normal). If you just reply to an email then the attachment links are removed. Outgoing attachments can be compressed or deleted (since you already have a copy). If you delete an email then the associated files are removed. Duplicate attachments are merged together – saving even more space!
DetachPipe can easily save attachment(s) from one or multiple messages (or folders) with a mouse click. An AutoDetach feature can also run daily at a predetermined time to take care of new attachments.
DetachPipe also includes sharing of large attachments via an integrated online service.
Pricing and Availability
DetachPipe requires Microsoft Outlook 98, 2000, 2002, XP, 2003 or 2007. DetachPipe runs on Microsoft Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, 2003 Server, Windows Vista and Vista 64 with 4 MB free disk space and 64 MB RAM. The download file is 3.6 MB.
The DetachPipe add-on for Microsoft Outlook can be downloaded from the company’s website www.datamystic.com . The Lite version costs $19.95, Pro version $29.95. The Lite version restriction is that it cannot detach to remote or network locations. Multi-user discounts and software bundles are available.
