Three Steps to Stress-Free Teleclass and Audio Recordings

If you want to record: - a client call you are recording to
submit for certification - a teleclass you are leading - an
interview you are conducting - anything else

You need to be able to: - Easily turn on the recording system on
and off - get the finished recording in an MP3 format so that
you and others can listen to it

Step one: GET A FREE BRIDGE LINE

Go to http://www.freeaudioconferencing.com and sign up for a
free bridge line (this is a fully functional bridge line with
your own private PIN number)

Step two: CHOOSE RECORDING SERVICE

I’ve done a lot of research on this subject and tried out many
systems. In my experience the best two services for ease of use,
customer support and value for your dollar are:

1) http://www.freeaudioconferencing.com ($10 per recording). I
recommend you choose this option if you only make one or two
recordings a month. Please note that this service provides only
recording from the telephone (not from your computer). 

2) www.coach.audioacrobat.com ($19.95 month for unlimited
recordings). I recommend you use if you make 2 or more
recordings a month. This service has more more features than the
one above. In particular, you can record from your telephone or
directly into your computer.

Step three: HOW TO DO IT

Using Option #1 – freeaudioconferencing.com

1) you and your caller(s) phone into your bridge line as usual
(it has to be a freeaudioconferencing.com bridge line)

2) when you are ready to begin recording, press *2 on your phone
and it will ask you for a recording file number. Just name the
file whatever you will remember using your touch-tone phone
(example: if you punch in 4545, this will be your recorded file
number for this recording). 

3) When you would like the recording to end, just press *2
again. Recording also ends when you hang up. 4) To get the MP3
file, just go to the freeaudioconferencing.com website and click
on the link “Download Conference Recordings” at the bottom of
the homepage. 

5) The company will email you your MP3 file, which you can then
click on to listen to. You can also email the file to someone
else, upload the file to your website, etc.

Using Option #2 – http://www.coach.audioacrobat.com

1) phone into your bridge (it can be any bridge) 

2) once you have greeted your participants, you need to “patch
in” the AudioAcrobat recording line. This is not difficult. Here
are the steps: - press the “Flash” button on your phone - when
you hear the dialtone you dial the AudioAcrobat phone number and
enter your PIN - after you have entered your PIN, you will hear
some phone prompts. To start the conference call recording press
“3” on your phone keypad. - as soon as you hear the prompt say
“Patch this line into your conference call now” hit the “Flash”
button to return to your conference call participants. - you
will hear two audible tones when the recording starts. - to stop
the recording process, simply hit the “Flash” button again or
hang up.

3) Once you hang up, AudioAcrobat makes your MP3 file which will
appear in the “Show My Audios” section of your account. The
longer the recording, the longer it will take to show up. A one
hour conference call takes about 10 minutes to appear.
