Abstract
A system and method for recording a telephone conference and replaying a portion of the recording during the conference. Users can participate in the conference by connecting through different types of networks using a device having one or more types of communication lines. The recording can be in audio format, text format (obtained by converting the audio to text), or both. Thus, users could potentially recall and replay textual information in addition to the recorded audio. Other information—such as time and user data—may also be recorded along with the audio and text. Both text and audio may be compressed (in real time if required) to save storage space. Users may issue playback-type requests such as play, rewind, fast forward, stop, and pause to navigate through the recorded data. While the user is issuing requests and is reviewing missed information, only the user can hear the playback.
