Better Screenshot Tools
Taking screenshots and marking them to explain situations on your screen are quite essential and common skills in online chat.
macOS and Windows have their own built-in screenshot tools, but none of them are better than the screenshot tool built into IMs like WeChat. There is no doubt that chat software understands users' communication requirements better.
I used to use QQ a lot, but times have changed; WeChat has now superseded it. However, the QR Code login sequence for WeChat Desktop is inconvenient and frustrating, which makes me reluctant to use WeChat on the desktop. So, I sought a standalone third-party screenshot tool so that I wouldn't have to rely on WeChat to take screenshots anymore.
And not after a long hunt, I found:
I believe both of these two tools are inspired by the legendary QQ screenshot tool:
- Press the hotkey, then draw a rectangle on your screen to create a screenshot;
- Can take a screenshot of a single window by selecting one;
- Provides good annotation tools for users to make marks;
- Double-click to add the screenshot to the clipboard, which is far more convenient than those OS built-in ones;
It makes me feel safe to stay away from WeChat.
