SnagIt
Chapter 4 ■ Utility Software 43
Vendor: TechSmith Corporation
Purpose: Comprehensive screen capture utility, with 32-bit capture together with edit and share
tools
Description
SnagIt is long-established, consistently improved software for screen capture, editing,
and sharing. It allows you to capture anything on the screen: the whole screen, an individual
window, or a scrolling Web page. It is invaluable for people who write technical
documentation because it can capture a single menu or cascading (multiple-layer) menus
from Windows applications. Text capture is easy, too, even where normal cut-and-paste
methods fail to work, such as when copying file lists from Windows Explorer.
