Parental control is a serious and complex project today, because the children are more likely to interact with the world than we have ever before. Like it or not, most of the children start surfing the Internet before 5 years old. As we all know that there would be a lot of adult content or even other dangerous things throughout the internet. Children maybe don’t know what they should read and what they shouldn’t. That’s why we need to performance parental control on our children.

We already have a parental control software and some other users use hidden mode of AthTek Skype Recorder for parental control. The new program will focus on Skype parental control and costs less money than the previous parental control software ($79). It has better stealth ability than hidden mode of AthTek Skype Recorder. The kids won’t know that their Skype accounts are under monitoring. If you have any suggestion to the coming Skype parental control program, please leave a comment or send your suggestion to developer@athtek.com. We highly value any of your suggestions and would love to provide free license keys to you for a beta test.

hat’s New?
* Fix the bug in video call recording;
Skype upgraded its APIs in version 7.0 and sometimes our Skype Recorder software didn’t start recording the video call automatically. When we received this report, we tested it on several machines then finally found what the problem was. On December 18 we released a new version which perfectly solved this problem.

* Support to compress file size for audio recording.
With the new version, the audio will be compressed to a smaller size in video call recording. This means that the recorded video file size will become smaller but the quality is the same as before.

Skype Voice Changer is a prank application for Windows user. It gives user the ability like a senor spy to change accent in Skype calls. Your friend won’t know who you are in the Skype call! You can pretend to be a girl or a robot to talk to them and listen to the funny response in a dumbfounded face. Yes, you will be a FBI who know all about him/her, but he/she don’t know who you are. Get ready to call your friend all laugh at them for a whole day!

Skype Voice Changer is an interesting application for Skype users. It can change your voice pitch to be male voice or female voice flexibly, and sync the changed voice in Skype call. It supports to send funny sound emotions to the contacts. More funny sound emotions can be downloaded from our official website for free. Also you can customize them as you wish. This application is produced by the same development team of AthTek Skype Recorder, thus it has the same excellent audio quality in voice changing and recording. You can record all your funny talk with Skype Voice Changer!

What’s New?
* This version doesn’t require Skype Desktop APIs;
As we have mentioned before, Skype announced that they will stop Desktop APIs which 3rd-party developers used for creating applications. We have to find a way to continue the project of AthTek Skype Recorder. Fortunately, we already found it. Meanwhile, Skype Desktop APIs still exists in Skype v6.8 or older. If you don’t want to use this new Skype Recorder, you need to downgrade your Skype to v6.8 and then you would be able to continuously use AthTek Skype Recorder for high quality Skype call recording.

* Supports to add watermark to video recordings;
The new version supports to add watermark to the video recordings. You can add text watermark or graphical watermark to the video call you are going to record.

* Simplify the recording and registration process;
The new AthTek Skype Recorder doesn’t require a Skype connection anymore. If you have ever used the previous version, you would probably know that when you run the Skype recorder for the first time, you will be asked to allow its access on Skype. When it doesn’t require Skype Desktop APIs, it doesn’t need to connect Skype anymore.

* Optimize the translations.
We have optimized the translations on new AthTek Skype Recorder. For example, “Silent Mode” has been renamed as “Hide Mode”. Many ambiguities have been removed from the translation.

Besides the above free screen recorders, you can also use AthTek Skype Recorder to record the desktop activities in AVI file format. When you have downloaded and installed any of the above free screen recorders, you can now record the problem as a video on your computer. Please use a high resolution for your screen recording and record as more details as you can. Once you have done the recording, please upload it to a video site and send the video link to us for troubleshooting. We will get back to you as soon as we can. We also have a post on how to make a video and upload it to YouTube. Check it if you still have problem with recording and uploading.

[PDF] Event: On July 13, 2013, Microsoft announced via an email to developers that it would end support for its Skype Desktop API and Skype Kit API, and effectively closed new submissions to the Skype App Directory. The Desktop API will cease to function in September 2013. Chris Andrews, Head of Skype Developer Program, sent the email.


When you upgrade to Skype 6.9, you will be seeing a message in Skype letting you know that Skype will stop 3rd party applications to access Skype. A warning message pop up “We want to let you know that your XXX.exe app will stop working with Skype starting in December 2013. Does this mean we cannot use AthTek Skype Recorder and Skype Voice Changer anymore since December 2013?

Nope, we won’t close the projects for these two programs and you can still use AthTek Skype Recorder and Skype Voice Changer after December 2013! The message shows that Skype will stop desktop APIs by the end of 2013. Most of the apps are built by desktop APIs and that is why Skype said that our app will stop working by then. But Skype will use URIs to take place of desktop APIs, we can definitely continue the Skype recorder and voice changer projects with URIs. We have already got ready for this change and once the desktop APIs expired, we will release the new versions of AthTek Skype recorder and voice changer.

So, how to against the popup warning by Skype? As of Skype 6.11 the Desktop API will be physically removed from the Skype application. For the time being we strongly recommend to downgrade back to Skype 6.8 until we see how this plays out. (Download Skype 6.8 Now). Please also turn off Skype automatic updates to prevent the warning message popup. Open Skype > Tools > Options… > Advanced > Automatic Updates > Turn off automatic updates, then the warning message will be prevented.

Once Skype started to close its APIs, we will release the new versions at once and you will be able to use the programs as usual. If you have any further question or suggestion, please feel free to contact us.

Here are some stories of April Fools Day:

From roocketfish @ reddit.com
My dad was leaving work when a software program his friend needed came in the mail. Seizing the opportunity, my father carefully opened the package, removed the CD , replaced it with a Billy Joel CD, shrink wrapped it and put it back in the mail. The next day, my dad heard his friend on the phone cursing out the company that sent the program. He waited until the phone call was over to come clean.

From rincewind4x2 @ reddit.com
This girl i know is really annoying and condescending about my driving, so I superglued a whistle to the underside of her front bumper. I then forgot about it, and a few days later saw an angry facebook status about how she spent hundreds of dollars taking it into a mechanic due to the noise.

From barnettdajoo @ reddit.com
I brought a wireless mouse into class and connected it to the back of my teachers computer so he couldn’t see the USB. When he had his screen on the smart board i used my mouse and exited out of everything and kept doing the same thing until he realized it. I then did the same thing during my next 5 classes.
