Parental Skype Recorder

Parental Skype Recorder is a lightweight software application designed specifically for helping you record all Skype Internet (P2P) and landline calls via a stealth mode so other users won’t notice that you are secretly monitoring their conversions.

User-friendly looks

The GUI looks intuitive and embeds only a few configuration settings under the hood. The program was designed with simplicity in mind so you won’t spend too much time tweaking the configuration settings.
Parental Skype Recorder builds up a list with all recorded conversations right in the main window and provides additional information about each one, such as Skype user, date and time, duration, direction (outgoing or incoming), and contact.
There’s also support for an online help manual in case you want to find out more about the utility’s recording capabilities.

Stealth options, recording and playing capabilities

The application remains hidden while working on the computer. It cannot be found running in the taskbar and system tray. In order to gain access to the main panel, you need to press a special hotkey (the default one is Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S) and you may reassign a user-defined one.
What’s more, you are allowed to set up a master password for making sure other users cannot view and modify your current configuration settings. The stealth mode can be easily activated with a click on the ‘Hide’ button.
The program integrates a built-in audio player for helping you listen to the recorded Skype calls directly from the main window without having to appeal to other third-party audio players. In addition, you may copy or delete recordings.
Parental Skype Recorder automatically runs at Windows startup and lets you record the audio streams to compact MP3 files.

Bottom line

All things considered, Parental Skype Recorder delivers a smart suite of features and an intuitive layout for helping you record Skype conversations. It can be handled by all types of users, regardless of their experience level.
