Abstract
An apparatus for non-intrusively monitoring and recording data (e.g., speech data) associated with a call(s) as well as addition and/or removal of a user(s) to/from a communication may include a processor capable of receiving speech data generated by a user of a device that subscribes to a network(s). The processor is further capable of receiving trigger control signals and determining whether the trigger control signals contain data indicating whether recording and monitoring of the data is required as well as addition and/or removal of a user to a communication is required. The processor is further capable of generating one or more copies of the speech data when the determination reveals that the recording and monitoring of the speech data is required and is further capable of generating sound corresponding to the speech data when the determination reveals that the recording and monitoring of the speech data is not required.
