WinParrot

WinParrot is a software application that was built specifically to help people record their actions and save them to the HDD, so that you can repeat them at any point.

The installation process can be skipped, as this utility is portable. Consequently, unlike installers, it is not going to add new items to the Windows registry or hard drive without your approval, and it is not going to leave any kind of trace behind after its removal.

Another important aspect you should keep in mind is that by moving the program files to an external data device, you can take WinParrot anywhere with you, and use it on any machine you come in contact with.

The interface you come by presents a pretty simple and clean design, although maybe a bit outdated. It encompasses a menu bar, a few buttons and a pane in which to display all your actions and an image of every step. In addition to that, you should know that the main window disappears in the system tray when you start processing. Moreover, Help contents are provided, thus ensuring the fact that both beginners and highly experienced people can learn how to handle it with great ease.

You can start, stop and play recordings with the help of the integrated playback buttons, while you can also manage them. To be more precise, you can delete items, move them up or down, as well as duplicate a step or get a new image.

Recordings can be saved to the HDD only using the proprietary format, WPR, while you can also print and preview steps.

To wrap it up, WinParrot is a pretty simple, yet efficient piece of software. It does not hamper the system’s performance, all jobs are performed in a timely manner and our tests did not reveal errors, bugs or crashes.
