When creating end user documentation, it is invariably useful to be able to include screen captures of applications. Although it is possible to use the Windows Print Screen button to create a simple screenshot, it has rather limited functionality than can be a problem when creating high quality screenshots.
SnagIt is a dedicated screenshot solution in that it offers many features that technical authors will find useful. These include:
- Region Screen Capture
- Scrolling Window Screen Capture
- Menu/Cascading Menu Screen Capture
- Video Screen Capture (useful for tutorial videos)
- Text Screen Capture (for text that can't be readily cut and pasted)
- Web Page Screen Capture (including images, video and audio files associated with a web page)
- Built-in image editing capabilities
- Batch conversion wizard for captured images
