Abstract
An innovative recording and playback system to record and play back audio conferences. In one embodiment, each conference participant's spoken name is recorded and stored in audio files. In addition, the combined voice signals generated by conference participants during the conference are stored in a conference data file. Data links are provided between the spoken names of the conference participants and the combined voice signals recorded during the conference. During playback of the recorded conference, a user can enter a command to an input device to playback the spoken names of the conference participants. In other embodiments, other conference information is stored in audio files and linked to the conference data file such that the information can be retrieved and audibly played back to the user.
