These are inexpensive voice recording apps for the iPad that have no limits and support background recording. If you want to have the Skype app running in the foreground during the recording – like when you are doing a video call – you may consider getting a copy of Voice Recorder or Audio Memos. The only limitation is that you cannot run Quick Voice as a background app and second, if the audio file size exceeds 5 MB, you can’t transfer it out of your iPad. My personal favorite is Quick Voice – this is a free voice recorder with a minimal interface and you can you record audio of unlimited duration. So which app do you use for recording Skype calls on the iPad.

The other option is that you launch an audio recording app first and then switch to Skype so the recording happens in the background.

The technique works because even if you put the Skype app in the background, the call won’t disconnect. You initiate a call over Skype, switch to an audio recorder app and hit the record button. While there are plenty of software tools around for recording Skype calls on a desktop, the process of recording Skype calls on an iPad or iPhone is a little bit different.

The Skype app is compatible with the original iPad and the newer iPad 2 though you would need the latter model for making video calls. The iPad app can be used on both Wi-Fi and 3G networks and, like the desktop version of Skype, you can also send text messages and place calls to landline and mobile numbers from the iPad. Skype, the much loved app for making voice and video calls, is now available for the iPad as well – download a copy from your country’s iTunes store.
