TechSmith Snagit 2018 brings new features like OCR technology to extract and edit text from image captures, more advanced image editing with Smart Move, and video capture improvements.

You need to quickly explain a process or demonstrate steps. The problem is, it’s frustrating to write out long, detailed descriptions. They’re time-consuming to create and difficult for people to follow. We understand it’s hard to write out everything you need to explain, especially when you have to show off a complex process or product. 

The good news is, a visual really is worth a thousand words. We’ve spent nearly 30 years helping 14 million people create images and videos that speed up and simplify their communication. Snagit is the smart, convenient way to get your point across, eliminate confusion, and be more productive. We help busy professionals who want to quickly and easily add screenshots and videos to their documentation, guides, and tutorials.

TechSmith Snagit 2018 is the only screen capture tool with built-in advanced image editing and screen recording. So, you can easily create high-quality images and videos all in one program. Snagit’s image and video capture is powerful, but not complex. All-in-One Capture® grabs your entire desktop, a region, a window, or a scrolling screen. Grab any webpage or application — all with a single hotkey or click. 

Snagit is way more than just a snipping tool. Customize and edit every screenshot with professional-quality markup tools. Trim any part of your recordings. Or convert videos to an animated GIF.

Capture a website, record an online meeting, or send someone feedback in an email. Get a short URL to share your screenshots or recordings with anyone.

While text capture in Snagit isn’t entirely new, with Snagit 2018 it’s better than ever. Grab Text is now powered by OCR technology which allows for a higher level of accuracy.

There are many situations where you need to get the text off your screen but copy and paste doesn’t work, like certain error messages or system dialogs. Or, what if you want to grab content from a flattened PDF but you don’t have the original files? Snagit makes it easy to extract the text and get it where you need it to go.

With Smart Move we’re building on last year’s Background Auto-Fill feature, which let you delete content from a screen shot and Snagit would automatically fill in the blank space. 

We know how hard it is to keep documents up to date as your product changes. Smart

Move helps you quickly make simple updates by making it incredibly easy to move things around. Snagit auto-detects shapes and text, allowing you to mouse-over and simply click and drag to move. It truly feels like magic when you use it.

Sometimes it’s not just about moving or deleting things. Text Replace makes it easy to update text without having to retake your screenshot. For example, the text in your product interface changes and now you want to make a quick update without having to recreate the exact same setup and retake the screenshot. Just double click the text to edit and you’re done. Snagit will actually match the color and size of the text and general font type. From there, you can tweak the font in Snagit editor to match.
