A quick rundown of both tools: <a href="http://www.evoca.com" rel="nofollow">Evoca</a> has two levels of service. A free account will allow you o record up to 15 minutes of audio via phone or their web-based recording tool, and they'll even host it for you! (Also, apparently you can search your recordings word-for-word. I'm not really sure how that works, though.) A professional account ($15 for 3 months) gets you an additional 180 minutes of recording time, and allows access to easy recording of Skype calls. With either account, you can order a written transcript of your conversation for $2.50 per minute of recorded audio (though I must note that <a href="http://www.castingwords.com" rel="nofollow">CastingWords</a> does the same thing much more inexpensively - 75 cents per minute of recorded audio, IIRC). <a href="http://www.gcast.com" rel="nofollow">GCast</a>, on the other hand, has only one membership level: free! Free hosting, free recording by phone, free podsafe music from <a href="http://www.garageband.com" rel="nofollow">GarageBand.com</a>, free playlist creation. Does anybody have personal experience with either of these tools that they'd like to share? Thanks, Larry! A quick rundown of both tools:
