I first learned about snag it at work in 2015 and have it on my personal laptop and desktop along with the maintenance agreement. This is a great program that I use to make reference guides, knowledge documents and instructional videos as well. Great when doing testing of software program as well. I can't say enough about this program. It is a great time saver as well with the library.

[oldslow]

how about...If I have a document that is actually just a bunch of screen shots containing photos and words. If I know that somewhere in these dozens of photos that there is something about lets say "cooking chicken" will this app let me do a ctrl-f type function to scan for what I want?

[Yakiraw]

nice video. it was not long and bla bla like most video.

[Jiraiya]

Does this work for other languages like japanes or only the english alphabet? This would be amazing to be able to easily look up Japanese words

[eliaraboff]

When I click on Capture button, it captures my window screen, not the document. Is it something in preferences that it needs to be changed?

[kashyapkacha]

Hello,

Is there any setting for language change? I need to copy some Japanese text form documents but it shows some dummy characters.

Thank you!

Greetings TechSmith, how can i extract duplicates from an image? for example i dont want to have two "65" in my paper and i want to discard the incorrects by finding them with my camera. Can you help me?

[educationwithdilawar]

hello! I want to copy question from online quizes.... type question, so how can I do that explain me please.

[JoFlakes]

Is there a way to correctly get words that were dashed out at the end of the line and continued on the next line?

[chudaikhanahindustan]

it only captures english text and no other language thats quiet mean about it, i didnt expect that to happen, their is no language selection option which you could easily integrate in your software, i wanted to convert hindi image to text and that was unsuccessful, just to notify you i am messaging here for you kind information. Before launching any application pls first check it thoroughly if it is working or not properly...it could not capture hindi text for which i am quiet surprised how that could be possible as ocr captures whatever it is written but your software didn't work and was out of expectation during trial only..

[OllieLK]

things like this should be free with ads

[damnchyna]

Was excited to try this but it crashed anytime I tried to capture. It’s def not my computer as this is a custom built i9 processor new (11days old) laptop.
