HyperSnap

CNET Editors' review

Hyper Snap-DX not only makes screen captures, but it also lets you edit the images you save. With a simple layout and fantastic results, users will fall in love with this application.

The program's interface is delightfully intuitive, with clearly labeled commands and an excellent design that makes it easy for users to flow from one task to the next. Still, there's a good Help screen for those who need it. Hyper Snap-DX offers several different ways to capture screen images, including taking a snapshot of the entire screen or simply zeroing in on a specific portion. The program's drop-down menu showcases your choices, which are mostly simple point-and-click tools. After you've made your selections, your image appears in a Paintbrush-like screen with drawing tools along the side. With these tools, user can cut, draw shapes, and add text and more to their screenshots. In addition, several command menus along the top let you change the shot's color, run it through a filter, and make other changes. The program's best feature is unquestionably its hot keys option, which lets you skip the capture menu and save screen shots on the fly, using only the keyboard.

By successfully simplifying its major duties, capturing images and editing them, Hyper Snap-DX combines two useful programs into one. The trial version leaves a watermark on output. This is a great tool for frequent screenshooters.

    "HyperSnap is the Best on the Market"

    December 23, 2010  |   By barton_mischa

    Version: HyperSnap 6.83.02

    Pros

    Simple step screen capture. Virtually no learning curve. Great at foreign languages like Greek and Chinese.

    Cons

    TextSnap does not read ornate fonts.

    Summary

    I love this program and know you will too! It does everything I need it to do in a simple and easy manner. No longer do I have to be frustrated with trying to get just the text I want copied highlighted in just the right way, the TextSnap allows me to select an area and it automatically reads everything in the box or everything in a chosen window. In today's International Marketplace, it is an added bonus to be able to transfer non-standard fonts without them getting all jumbled. This program is well priced and a definite buy for me.

    "HyperSnap Delivers!"

    December 22, 2010  |   By tom_hunt

    Version: HyperSnap 6.83.02

    Pros

    Easy to use interface. Great for both screen and text captures. Includes basic image editing capabilities.

    Cons

    None that I found so far!

    Summary

    HyperSnap is a great tool for anyone that works in a virtual office. In two steps or less I can create a perfect screenshot or text capture without dealing with a program that is too sophisticated like photoshop or too basic like paint.

    "Clip Extractor is Clean and Easy"

    November 24, 2010  |   By vince_martin

    Version: HyperSnap 6.83.01

    Pros

    Browser Extension makes downloading and ringtone creation fast and easy. Easy to use interface.

    Cons

    I don't know what to download first!

    Summary

    I love this program and know you will too! I am really into archiving viral YouTube videos and this program allows me to do it in one easy step. Best of all, when I find a really awesome video I can take it with me by converting the file into a ringtone for my phone.
