Evoca and Skype - long lost friends reuniting?
June 11, 2007
I just got this in my email inbox..maybe you did too?
We’ve got great news. Evoca has partnered with Skype to let you easily record Skype calls, and it’s free to try! As an Evoca member, you are all setup to record your Skype calls. You will find the recordings stored in your Evoca account. Record interviews, sales calls, project management meetings, podcasts, or simply record your calls with friends!
To get started, make sure to add your Skype username to your Evoca account here:

www.evoca.comPS: If you are not yet familiar with Skype, it is a little piece of software that lets you make free calls to anyone else on Skype, anywhere in the world. And even though the calls are free, they are really excellent quality. Learn more at www.skype.com.
Hmmm. Interesting. Looking at the evoca homepage, it shows this…
So I am going to try it. I clicked the link to add the evoca contact, and it asked me for authorization in skype. I said yes, although it still shows the grey question mark. Odd.
A reminder that I am on a Mac and using Skype 2.6.something Beta somethingorother.
So I am going to start a conference call with Evoca and our trusty friend Echo123, whose voice changed recently I think.
So let’s see how this works…
Ahh, didn’t work because I didn’t have my skype username inputted into Evoca under My Account. It sent me a text chat explaining it. Nifty.
Ok so it worked nicely. I ended up having to call the Evoca contact first, because it takes a few extra seconds to connect, and you know the test call lady, she’s impatient. So I called the evoca contact and then added young miss echo123 into the conference call. I timed it nicely.
When I finished, it sent me a text chat message with the remaining time (it looks like you get 60 minutes free), download links, and the like.
Here is a link to the mp3 file of my quick conversation, please remember you hear me twice because I am saying it and then echo123 plays it back. She cut me off at the right moment, too. The file comes as an mp3.
A fun new tool! Maybe I will try a screencast-o-matic out on this one!
