■ How often have you wondered "what
did he say?"
■ How often does someone say "can you prove it?"With our new AbleCorder
and VersaReCorder, you won't
wonder, and you can prove it!
For years, people have been asking us for
equipment to record phone calls. Originally, we used magnetic couplers that had
suction cups that stuck onto the phone and plugged into a tape recorder. Later
there were gadgets that allowed a cassette recorder to connect directly to phone
lines, and eventually there were some that could use PC sound cards. Most of
them were inconvenient to use, or sounded lousy, or both; and they made it hard
to keep track of what was recorded. Few could work with digital phone systems. Now we have
two superb solutions:
AbleCorder works with many phone systems,
including Panasonic KX-TD systems, and connects to the "line cord" going into
your phone.
VersaReCorder
works with almost any phone, and connects to the handset cord.
Both devices are compact, easy to install, come
with excellent Windows software, connect to your PC with a USB cable, and make
excellent-sounding recordings.

The need for call recording is increasing, as we make more transactions over the telephone, and we have an increasingly litigious society.
- Customer Service Quality Monitoring - recording calls ensures best practice, lets staff share good examples and learn from mistakes, and even ensure that the telephone system is being used efficiently and properly.
-
Transaction recording - record critical information to ensure accuracy of transactions. This could be for internal confirmation of details, but is more often needed to establish who is at fault when a problem occurs and which party bears the cost of rectification. This also can relate to advice, such as a medical or financial consultation. Call recording becomes more important as the stakes become higher.
- Compliance Monitoring - ensure industry regulations are met. Companies in fields such as financial services are required to record calls to prove to a regulatory body that they are complying with the standards of that body, and to provide an audit trail if there is a complaint.
- Security Alerts - record bomb/violence threats and verbal abuse. Unfortunately, the telephone can be a source of an unpleasant experience, so recording calls can be a deterrent to, or evidence against, an abusive or threatening caller.
