Belkasoft Skype Analyzer Features
Search computer for histories
The product allows you to search a whole hard drive for profiles of all supported Skype versions:
- All drives or particular ones may be selected
- You can select a particular folder to search through
- It is possible to manually select a history to analyze
Analyze found histories
The product does all the analysis with two mouse clicks:
- No password required
- You do not have to be logged under a history owner
Explore extracted histories
The product shows extracted messages in a user-friendly form as follows:
Within the user interface you can:
- See all available histories and their extraction status
- See all contacts belonging to a profile
- See all conversations with a selected contact
- Sort by time, message direction, message text
- Apply filtering
- Search history. Do simple searches through history and advanced searches using a file with a set of words to look for. Experienced users can take advantage of searching by regular expressions, which is ideal when searching for templates or phrases with fuzzy structure
Export history
After completing history extraction you can export history of interest in a readable format. The product allows you to:
- Export history to plain text, HTML, XML and also to CSV format which is good for exploring data within powerful Microsoft Excel product
- Limit exported histories to selected dates and contacts
- Limit exported histories to selected chat messages
- Split huge histories into separate files, broken by contact
The report is independent of your computer and can be burned onto a CD and given away, if needed.

- Skype 2 — chat history only

What if you have all your history deleted?
If one has all Skype history files (.dbb or .db) deleted, is it possible to recover
anything? Sometimes (not always) it is! If your Skype account still has a chatsync subfolder
inside, some part of your history can be restored. Chatsync history retrieval is
supported by the Professional version of this tool (Belkasoft Skype Analyzer Pro). If nothing helps, you can try our forensic products, which can retrieve deleted data, if still existing on a drive.
