Abstract
Devices, softwares and methods generate, in real time, indexing metadata for select portions of a telephone conversation or conference. The indexing metadata is generated responsive to inputs received while the conversation is being recorded live. The inputs are either by a user pressing a soft key on a telephone device, or by a voice conference bridge determining who is the dominant speaker in a multi-party conference.

A network switch comprising:
- a network interface coupled to a network;
- and
- a processor coupled with the network interface, wherein the processor is adapted to:
- establish first and second communication links through the network, and a third communication link concurrent with the first and second communication links;
- select the first communication link to be favored and the second communication link to be disfavored;
- generate and store a selection identifier about the selection;
- receive first voice data through the first communication link and second voice data through the second communication link;
- retransmit over the third communication link the received first voice data but not the received second voice data;
- and
- store in a memory the received first voice data but not the received second voice data.
