  • SKU: MCAPCAPT


A screen capture and editing tool that enables screenshots to be captured as an editable image.

MadCap Capture lets you easily capture anything that is displayed on your computer screen, from window panels to entire screen shots, as an editable image. Advanced editing features allow you to further enhance captured images by adding text callouts, cursor arrows, special effects and more. Capture is part of MadCap Software’s integrated "dream suite" of native XML, multi-channel authoring software. Like the other products in this suite, Capture is a flexible, open-architecture application that produces XML files with Unicode support for all left-to-right languages.
