Here’s a random error message (de-identified) & the grabbed version:įor the above you can select Edit / Grab text from the menu bar, or just right-click and Grab text. I also like that I can also more easily anonymise a screen-grab back to a generic “” reference, without adding the visual distraction that the blur tool often causes. Of particular appeal for me is that it’s now become easier to blog Windows error messages and embed the message text into the post for search engines to find, without the painstaking effort to hand-transcribe the text. The recent release of Snagit 2018 excited me because it adds something I can really use: the ability to capture (grab) and edit text directly on a screen-grab. I can delete text (like an unwanted date-stamp) leaving only the background, blur sensitive details, highlight the important bits, and much more.Ĭompare an original with the edited version: I love how what I call the “munching tool” (aka “cut out”) lets me imperceptibly remove white-space, or add tear-marks to show where I’ve removed part of an image for brevity. Snagit gives me a lot of editing power in a small economical package. It quickly became indispensable, and so I purchased a separate copy for my work PC. Prior to becoming an MVP I relied entirely on the free Windows “Snipping Tool”, but that all changed when TechSmith was kind enough to send me a complimentary copy of Snagit. The screen-grabs here at are these days all captured & refined by TechSmith’s “Snagit” screen-capture utility.
