TechSmith first published SnagIt in 1990, and their long-time dedication to creating a superior screen capture tool really stands out. Not only does SnagIt facilitate the capturing of a variety of content including images, text, and video, it also includes the tools needed to annotate, mark up, organize, convert, edit and share captured content. TechSmith surprises me with each new version of SnagIt, always adding innovative new features I never knew I needed — until I start using them!
