Skylook has now officially released Skylook 2.0, which is available for download now.
For those of you who don’t know what Skylook is or does, Skylook performs just a few of the following services. Features new to 2.0 that particularly appeal to me are shown in italics:
- Call Outlook contacts or PCs using Skype.
- Send SMS messages to Outlook contacts.
- Send instant messages to Outlook contacts.
- Answer incoming calls directly from Outlook.
- Reply to instant messages with email and vice-versa.
- Reply to voice mails with a call, email, instant message or SMS.
- Click an email message then click a button to call or IM the email sender.
- Click an appointment then click a button to call or IM an attendee.
- Record Skype calls to MP3 or other audio formats.
- Record incoming and outgoing calls.
- Record Skype-to-Skype, SkypeOut, SkypeIn and conference calls.
- Choose to record just your side or both sides of the call.
- Configurable bitrate to trade off quality for file size.
- Optionally record calls to high quality 48kHz PCM, with each side of the call in a separate WAV file for professional podcasting.
- Automatically record all calls, or choose to manually record individual calls.
- Choose to store recordings in any Outlook folder, or store them in a directory on your hard disk.
- Pause recording mid-call.
There’s a whole swag full of new features which makes upgrading extremely worth your while, or if you haven’t yet used the powerful combination of a PC, a broadband connection, Skype and Microsoft Outlook you may want to try this out for yourself. It’s brilliant.
