SnagIt Notes Output SnagIt 9.0 SnagIt Notes Examples SnagIt Notes have become quite popular at TechSmith. This section shows some ways that TechSmith employees are using SnagIt Notes with great success. Keep Important Scheduling Information Close By Our trade show schedule is very important to the work I do. So, I like to keep an updated tradeshow schedule close at hand. However, if I print the schedule off, I have to tape it to my overhead cupboard in order to see it. Even then, it s in the way and I have to print another copy if it s updated. With SnagIt Notes, I take a capture of the schedule we post on our Web site. I use the star stamps in SnagIt Editor to mark the shows that I will attend. Then, I output the schedule to SnagIt Notes. Now, it s right where I need it in front of me. ~ Jessica Boyle, Product Marketing Manager Continue with Find Something Interesting on the Web and Share It. 6 www.techsmith.com
SnagIt 9.0 SnagIt Notes Output Find Something Interesting on the Web and Share It While looking for a map online, I ran into an interesting mapping option - a 3D view. I was intrigued and searched for my neighborhood. I was amazed to see our house and even our cars on the street. I was so impressed by this I wanted to share it with my wife. Since she wasn t at home, I took a capture, saved it as a note, and left it on the desktop for her to find the next time she logged on. She was just as impressed with the note as with the 3D view. ~ Chris McQueen, Training Team Continue with Use SnagIt Notes as Visual Reminders. www.techsmith.com 7
SnagIt Notes Output SnagIt 9.0 Use SnagIt Notes as Visual Reminders A note is a great way to remind myself about important events that are coming up on my schedule. Keeping a visual reminder like this on the desktop is much better than creating an email alert in my already overcrowded email In Box. Plus, I can add important information like a new phone number using annotations in SnagIt Editor. And, I can add text notes if necessary. With SnagIt Notes, I have all the information I need in a very convenient and useful format. ~ Tony Dunckel, SnagIt Product Manager Continue with Keep Interesting Captures On Hand to Inspire Creativity. 8 www.techsmith.com
SnagIt 9.0 SnagIt Notes Output Keep Interesting Captures On Hand to Inspire Creativity I like to use thought-provoking images in my training classes. Here's a capture of a public domain image I liked. I'm not sure what I am going to do with this image, but, I want to keep it in sight on the desktop while I think about where it might best be used. I keep the Web site link with the picture so I can go back to that site at another time and maybe find some more images. ~ Matt Pierce, Training Manager Continue with Keep Track of Online Activity. www.techsmith.com 9
SnagIt Notes Output SnagIt 9.0 Keep Track of Online Activity OK. I admit it. I m an online auction addict. I use SnagIt Notes to help me keep track of auction items I am either watching or bidding on. Like this auction that I think I want to bid on that s going to be ending soon. I can put the URL in the note for quick access to the auction page along with the day and time the auction ends. ~ Wendy Roush, Quality Assurance Team Continue with Save Capture Sequence when Working on a Localized Operating System. 10 www.techsmith.com
SnagIt 9.0 SnagIt Notes Output Save Capture Sequence when Working on a Localized Operating System When working on a localized Windows operating system, I like to take a series of captures, output them as notes, and later work with the captures when the system is switched back to my native language Windows operating system. When the computer is restarted, the notes are right where they were when I shut my system down. I use the text field to label the captures and the different color to keep them in the correct workflow sequence. ~ Kelly Mullins, User Assistance Tea www.techsmith.com 11
