TechSmith’s SnagIt

Why write a novel to make a point about something that appears on your computer display? Just “snag it”, annotate it, and paste it into your email or document in seconds! As TechSmith’s site says: “Sometimes words aren’t enough. Use images and videos to show people exactly what you’re seeing. Snagit gives you an easy way to quickly provide better feedback, create clear documentation, and change the way you work together.” SnagIt is another star-studded All-Star in our line-up!

ShareX

TeraCopy

For those of you running on the Windows Operating System, how often have you waited for s-l-o-w file copies to complete, only to be eventually informed there is not enough space on the destination drive? TeraCopy is a fast and intelligent replacement for the Windows copy routine. Once you start using it you will never want to be without it. Another our our “must-have” All-Stars.

ClipMate

Ever play the [Alt-Tab to an application] [select and copy text] [Alt-Tab to another window] [paste the copied text] [repeat] [repeat] [repeat] ... ” dance? Tedious, eh? The solution: Clipmate! This Windows clipboard manager sits in the background and offers a wealth of features that make copying, storing, finding and using “clips” a breeze. We refuse to work on a workstation that does not have this perennial All-Star in its lineup!
