Skype Recorder introduces a missing feature in the Skype messenger - the ability to record voice conversations. The program doesn't play any beep warnings, so the person you're talking to won't notice that the conversation is being recorded. In my humble opinion, this is not ethical at all, and is already considered illegal in many countries, but it could be used for a variety of rightful purposes, according to the program's owner.
The program has a spy mode, which hides the program's window along with the tray icon; you can set a hot key, so you can show back the hidden tray icon whenever you wish. This way, you can record voice conversations of other users of your own computer without them noticing.
Using the program's settings, you can choose to start the recording process automatically as soon as a voice conversation starts. Additionally, you can set the Sample rate and Bitrate in order to control the file size and the recorded voice quality. Moreover, you can also choose the format of the output file.
The trial version of this program is fully functional, but it will expire after 15 days.

If you have ever tried the free trial before, you will know that Skype Recorder will cut off the Skype call when it reach the max recording length. We have received many feedback to complain this problem and finally we make a progress on this. Since AthTek Skype Recorder v5.8, the trial limitation will not cut off the Skype call if you have reached the max recording length. But the recording length will still be less than 10 minutes. This means you can only record the first several minutes of a Skype call if you are using a trial version of Skype Recorder v5.8. Michael Hsu suggested us to improve the auto answer features. We are planning to make it more intelligent in the future, but not for now. Currently we can only add a prompt audio message after the Skype call has been getting through. Also you are allowed to set the auto record contact list in the new version. You can also adjust the recording length as well as the waiting period before auto recordings. Many users of Skype Recorder wants to know which is the best video encoder they can take on AthTek Skype Recorder. Actually it depends on your needs. Generally the higher recording quality means the larger recording file size. We select a quality video encoder for you and it can meet your needs in most of time. The recording quality of XVID is good and the file size of it is not so big. If you want to compare it with more video encoders, please visit the video encoder list. Removed some useless buttons and text contents in the new version. It boosts the user experience to higher level.
