Recording In-World Interviews

I'm conducting some in-world interviews and cut/paste of the chat is pretty clunky. I was thinking I could build a recorder that listened to 0 and added the values to a notecard. However, I don't seem to be able to find any such API in LSL to do this. Any thoughts on how to accomplish recording a conversation between two individuals in-world?

Tx.

1 you cant write notecards with a script

2 this could be considered against the COC so make shure everyone involved is aware that you are "recording" the chat, and agrees to you doing so

3 lsl scripts only have a total of 16kb of memory for any type of storage, so it quickly gets ate up, most ppl just copy and paste the entire conversation and run it tru a outside program to make the different colored text on forums or whatever, one work around to this would be to have a script that listens, and each time something is said checks the memory, once it hits a certain point offload that chunk to an outside souce, previously it was e-mail, which is extreamly slow, and you end up with a clunky handfull of broken up e-mails to deal with later

with the new http request system you can collect a good handfull of text, lets say 20 lines, and send it off to a web scripting system (like php) the advantage is, php can read and write files on a webserver so each time a chunk is sent its just appended to the end of the file you specfiy, this is the closest thing to a writable notecard we have atm, but of course you need some form of webserver, php (asp or whatever) and know how to write scripts with in its own language

couse if you know all of that you might as well feed it into a database and have it format the text for you too heh



or for a short awnser no not really

Sorry to be crassly commercial, but there is a way that's inside the TOS. I sell the product, it's in my minimall at Dimidiata, 233, 178 and is called the Notetaker.

Basically it requires a sign-in for consent to have it listen to what you say (which is thus legal), correctly records chat and emotes, doesn't have IMs or blue boxes cropping up and emails the transcripts out to you every 3000 or so characters. Although I'm not a Neualtenberger it was developed for them to record their meetings and get a transcript and work just fine for them.

Oh, it's got some twiddles like it numbers the transcripts for easier reassembly too, sometimes emails get out of sync, and it puts things like start and end times onto the transcript as well. It's got a tool for allowing the chair to check who is around and not logged in (in case they've forgotten) etc.
