Snooper is an easy-to-use recording app for Windows that starts recording when it hears sound. It has smart features for fine-tuning your recordings and have a built-in spectrum analyzer.
The user interface is well organized and is suitable for all types of users, from beginners to highly experienced people.
Sound/Voice activated recording
A voice activated recording (VOX) is automatically triggered when sound is detected above an adjustable threshold. The audio recording is then saved with a timestamp when there is silence.
Dictation recording mode
Sound activated recording mode where all recordings are captured and collected into a single file. Individual recordings can be located inside the file by time-stamps.
Great for scanner and dictation recordings.
Stealth mode
Use stealth mode or run Snooper as a Windows service to hide Snooper from the taskbar and tray area. Option to automatically start or stop a recording when switching to or from screen lock.
Recording scheduler
Snooper can be scheduled to start and stop a recording at any time you set. It can also record on the fly for as long as you like without interruption.
Plugins

Use the MQTT-plugin to get status information about Snooper and to control Snooper states.
The Speech-to-text Plugin using OpenAI’s Whisper model can transcribe recorded speech to text automatically.
Sound editor
Use the built in sound editor to do simple adjustment of a recording.
Increase/decrease volume, remove unwanted sections, transcribe parts of a recording etc.
Noise suppression and automatic gain control
Suppress unwanted signals according to a pre-recorded noise profile. This in combination with the automatic gain control (AGC) can capture sounds with very low amplitude. Advanced users can use the frequency analyzer to help fine tune the setup with different filters to enable the recorder to be highly sensitive.
Data Integrity
To make sure that the recordings are reliable, consistence and accurate over its entire life-cycle enable the Data Integrity plugin to guard your recordings.
Sound level logger
Use the built in sound pressure level (SPL) meter to document noise levels for over a longer period of time. This is often used for documenting dog barks or loud environmental noise over a day.
Multi channel recorder
The multi channel version of Snooper records multiple audio channels simultaneously.
