The invention provides a digital voice recording platform that is used for live monitoring of calls, voice logging, incident reconstruction, compliance and liability reduction. The call recording platform is a fully fault tolerant system comprised of industrial grade single board (blade) computers. The call recording platform is provided for digital voice recording, supporting both digital and analog interfaces, all major proprietary PBX systems and providing support for VoIP. The platform makes intelligent use of call triggers, automatically responding to line signaling events to capture all of the associated call data. The platform provides access to a customizable variety of call recording options and modalities, a fast and effective search, and full archiving capabilities and management. At any time, a user can annotate or email a call, create custom search fields, track a case or customer, or burn an archive of recorded calls. As a LAN/WAN based server system, the platform provides seamless call data access from any networked client workstation.
