  • Free for registered SnagIt or FullShot users.
Cons
  • For Windows only.

Guide Review - RoboScreenCapture from eHelp

RoboScreenCapture offers 10 capture modes, including some nifty ones such as multiple regions for capturing cascading menus, virtual desktop for capturing desktops across multiple monitors; and active window without frame for omitting the title bar and window frame. I especially liked the tabbed multi-document interface for collecting and editing captured images. It may lack a few things the competition offers, but it adds some unique features of its own. RoboScreenCapture is definitely a worthy contender in the screen capture power tool category.

Although it has been publicized as a new product, eHelp's RoboScreenCapture is virtually identical to another mature screen capture utility, Hypersnap DX, from shareware company Hyperionics.
