Are you looking for Spector Pro software? If so you probably are having a hard time finding it. The reason is the company that makes it called SpectorSoft no longer makes the Spector Pro keylogger. Let’s take a look at what the software did and why it was so popular. At the end of the article I will show you a great Spector pro alternative called pcTattletale and why it is actually better than Spector pro.
What you need to know is SpectorSoft changed their name to Veriato back in 2015. They decided to focus solely on corporate solutions. They no longer sell the Spector Pro keylogger and now sell products aimed for large corporations.
So what can you do if you are family or small business? Well as you will see at the end of this article pcTattletale may be the perfect alternative for you.
Spector Pro Features
Spector Pro Software (Spector Professional) is an older computer monitoring software solution. It would record the following activities on any windows PC (or MAC):
- Chat Conversations Transcripts
- Emails sent/received
- Websites Visited
- Runs visibly or invisibly (Stealth)
- Records keystrokes
- Limited Website Blocking
Here are some screen shots of what Spector Pro looked like. You can see there are different options and ways of viewing what it records:
The screen below shows how Spector Pro software was able to capture emails so you can read them. It is email spying that you can do easily.:
Most people want the Spector Pro Keylogger function. They want to get passwords to sites like Facebook, Email accounts, and more. Spector Pro did a great job of this. You can learn more in my article How to spy on another computer. The only drawback is it is not a Remote keylogger. They also made other apps like the Spectosoft Eblaster that had these features. This means you need to go back to their computer to see what was typed out.

Best Spector Pro Alternative is pcTattletale
So what is the best remote keylogger? PcTattletale is the best Spector Professional alternative for a lot of reasons. What you need to know is pcTattletale does everything Spector Pro did and more. Let’s look at how they accomplish the same goals.
PcTattletale makes YouTube like videos of everything they do on their computer. You can watch them to see how they go on sites like Facebook.
Notice in the screen shot above how you can see everything they are doing. We also capture their keystrokes and put them right in the video. That when they type out their Facebook password you can see it.
Right below the video is a click chart. It shows you how active they are on the computer. This is great for seeing things like lots of late night computer activity on a school night!
pcTattletale uses a “YouTube Like” video player to see your recordings. The image below shows you how the video player works:

PcTattletale was designed from the ground up to be a remote spy app and keylogger. This means once you put pcTattletale on their computer you do not need to go back to it to see what was done. Instead just sign into the pcTattletale website and see everything they did.
"PCTattletale is a remote keylogger and spy app unlike Spector Pro you do not need to sit in the front of their computer to view activity"
Spector Pro lists out websites visited and chat conversations. But what happens when there is a new chat client like SnapChat? Spector Pro simply can’t record from newer services like this. But with pcTattletale’s approach you will always see everything. Why? Because we capture everything they are seeing on their screen (even if it is in private browsing mode).
