| Screen capturing | Art | The "capturing" of images on a computer screen onto a clipboard or into a graphics file so that they can be imported into other software. Screen captures are analogous to photographs of screen images. Captured text is normally in graphics mode such that it must be run through a text converter (e.g., OmniPage text conversion software) that translates graphics text back into word processor text. In PC World, February 1994, p. 224 it is shown how Windows screen capturing can be accomplished using the Windows Recorder utility in the Program Manager. Doyle (1994a) provides useful tips for QuickTime video capturing. Screen capturing software options are reviewed in the NewMedia 1995 Tool Guide (p. 34). See also OCR. It is important to also go to Video. (references) | |
