As part of my thesis I am planning to conduct a number of telephone interviews. To better capture the conversation I thought I might use recording in addition to taking notes. That is, of course, with the acceptance of the interviewee.
I am planning to either use skype for free calls or use a softphone such as Ekiga to conduct the interviews.
I googled for options of skype recording and there were a couple of software available. One was requiring compilation of the code, which I am not familiar with. I chose the second one, which was a straight forward install from a .deb installation file – Skype Call Recorder
The software is super simple to use. After the installation you can find its icon under Applications -> Accessories. Once activated it stays as system tray icon from which you can change the preferences.
I have set it up that for each call it asks me whether to record or not. For me it worked from the first time without any headaches,

Next would be to find software to record from VoiP (softphones).
