Abstract: The computer calling system disclosed enables the automated recording of voice telephone conversations in a centralized or distributed call center environment. The automated recording system is novel in that it records telephone calls locally and transfers them to a central server that provides centralized access and tracking. Voice files are recorded on the agent side of the telephone call that provides for all processing on the agents computer. Processing may include the compression of the voice file. Voice files are tracked in a centralized database and transferred to and stored on a centralized server for easier retrieval and review by a third party from a remote computer system.
