Applian Info for blind users website is
http://www.applian.com/Podcasts/applian-info.html
Everything you need to know about Applian Technologies software products can
be found at the address above. This simple website was created by me for
blind PC users who have an interests in not only recording internet radio
stations but also other media like youtube.com. Applian makes Replay AV
which is well known by the blind community. I have audio tutorials on how to
use some of their software products. Right now I am assisting Applian
Technologies to improve accessibility with JAWS 11 screen reader their new
software product called Replay Telecorder for Skype. This software allows
you to record Skype calls in 5 different ways including audio only
recordings which most of us want while sighted users will use it to record
the video signal from the webcam while making a Skype call. It's a Skype
call recording software program. Right now entering the product key is not
possible with JAWS 11 but the developer sent me an updated version of Replay
Telecorder 'release candidate' and the product key entry is accessible. So
if you want to try the demo you are warned in advance here about this issue.
The GUI interface needs some tweaking. Right now you can use the route JAWS
to PC cursor and locate the text 'picture-in-picture' which you can click
with left or right mouse click as I have forgotten which one you need to do
in order to bring up the context menu for the recording setting type you
want. I choose 'none' which means only record for me as audio. That is no
video will be recorded during the Skype call. It has only 2 menus. You
access them with alt+f and alt+h. They are hidden but keyboard shortcuts
work. The default folder where recordings go is in
Vista
C:\Users\Your Name\Documents\Replay Telecorder\
That is the Documents folder.
Recordings are saved as .AVI format. These play very well in Windows Media
Player 11 which is my default media player. A user told me there was an
issue when playing back the .AVI file within Winamp. Might need to update
the codecs I told her.
These .AVI files can easily be converted to .mp3 format with a converter
like Replay converter. But I have not attempted this here.
You run Skype first. Minimize the program, open Replay Telecorder program,
minimize or alt+tab back to Skype, start a call, alt+tab back to Replay
Telecorder and press alt+f and choose 'record'. Recording starts. When done
choose alt+f within Replay Telecorder and 'stop record'. Recording is saved
as .AVI file. The default recording setting is 'picture-in-picture' so you
will have to change it to 'none' which is audio only format using your route
JAWS to PC cursor and then navigation keys. You change the recording
settings by locating the text within the GUI interface that reads as
'picture-in-picture' as explained earlier here.
Pressing insert+NUMPad 3 reads the status bar.
If the developer improves it a little it will be fully accessible with JAWS
11. Only time will tell what improvements will be done but I am successfully
using Replay telecorder 1.1 RC 7 which is not available as a download right
now on the Applian website.
Do you want me to notify you when a new accessible version is released? If
yes, emal me at

Put in subject line Replay Telecorder.
I do not work for Applian. Just a volunteer. I make no commissions.
The above is only my experience.
