1. A method of indexing a recording of a telephony session, carried out in a computerized system, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving, during the recording of said telephony session or during a playback of said recording, an indication including parameters which identify a discrete segment of the recording as being of interest; and
(b) storing, in an index associated with the recording of the session, an identifier which identifies said discrete segment of the recording;
wherein said identifier identifies said discrete segment by one of the following options;
(i) a start point and an end point;
(ii) a reference point and a duration beginning with said reference point;
(iii) a reference point and a duration ending with said reference point;
(iv) a reference point and a duration centered on said reference point;
(v) a reference point, a first duration occurring before and ending with said reference point, and a second duration beginning with and occurring after said reference point;
(vi) a reference point, an offset forwards or backwards from the reference point, and a duration beginning with or ending with said offset.

Abstract
Improved indexing of telephony sessions is achieved by:
(a) receiving, during the recording of the telephony session or during a playback of the recording, an indication including parameters which identify a discrete segment of the recording as being of interest; and
(b) storing, in an index associated with the recording of the session, an identifier which identifies that discrete segment of the recording.

9. A computer program product comprising a computer-readable medium encoding instructions which, when executed in a computerized system, are effective to cause said system to index a recording of a telephony session by the steps of:
-
(a) receiving, during the recording of said telephony session or during a playback of said recording, an indication including parameters which identify a discrete segment of the recording as being of interest; and (b) storing, in an index associated with the recording of the session, an identifier which identifies said discrete segment of the recording; wherein said identifier identifies said discrete segment by one of the following options; (i) a start point and an end point; (ii) a reference point and a duration beginning with said reference point; (iii) a reference point and a duration ending with said reference point; (iv) a reference point and a duration centered on said reference point; (v) a reference point, a first duration occurring before and ending with said reference point, and a second duration beginning with and occurring after said reference point; (vi) a reference point, an offset forwards or backwards from the reference point, and a duration beginning with or ending with said offset.

10. A computerized indexing system for indexing a recording of a telephony session, comprising:
-
(a) a connection for receiving, during the recording of said telephony session or during a playback of said recording, an indication including parameters which identify a discrete segment of the recording as being of interest; (b) a processor for determining from said indication said parameters; and (c) an index associated with the recording of the session, storing an identifier which identifies said discrete segment of the recording; wherein said identifier identifies said discrete segment by one of the following options; (i) a start point and an end point; (ii) a reference point and a duration beginning with said reference point; (iii) a reference point and a duration ending with said reference point; (iv) a reference point and a duration centered on said reference point; (v) a reference point, a first duration occurring before and ending with said reference point, and a second duration beginning with and occurring after said reference point; (vi) a reference point, an offset forwards or backwards from the reference point, and a duration beginning with or ending with said offset.
