Publisher's description of MacroScript WebRecorder

Record Web browser activity to quickly and easily create reliable Internet macros and Web automation scripts. No coding required. Just browse the Web and WebRecorder records what you do and creates the script for you. Ideal for automating Web site logons, downloads, data retrieval, testing Web sites and web applications and automating Web client applications. WebRecorder creates scripts that run in the popular Macro Scheduler automation tool so can be scheduled, assigned to hot keys or desktop shortcuts, converted to executables and integrated with your other Windows Automation scripts.

Editor's review of MacroScript WebRecorder

• "MacroScript WebRecorder"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: MacroScript WebRecorder 1.71

This Web script recorder handles basic tasks well, but requires a separate program to run the resulting macros. MacroScript WebRecorder's interface is an advanced user's dream: full of buttons, menus, boxes, and a browser display. With a little help file investigation, most users can create their first Web macro in a few minutes. Our testers also found the program's first major problem in a few minutes: this recorder failed to handle embedded JavaScript pull-down boxes. Choosing one was simply ignored by the script recorder, and playback failed, though there was no error message.

We were frustrated that a separate program must be downloaded and installed to run macros. The first script generates an error dialog warning the user that a DLL must be placed in the system path or the script must reflect the location of the DLL. Both procedures are guaranteed to make a novice's eyes glaze over. Advanced users will find the scripts easy to edit and the commands logical. Users who like to build and edit scripts will appreciate the time-saving Tag Extraction Wizard.

Nevertheless, we didn't appreciate the need for a separate scheduler/player. While this isn't a macro recorder for novices, advanced users may like the simple command structure for quick-and-dirty Web macros.

  Version: MacroScript WebRecorder 1.71

  "Outstanding Product!! Outstanding Tech Support!!"

  by randybass1 on March 28, 2006

  Pros: I ordered WebRecorder and have run some very complex scripts and functions with the product for my business. The best thing about the product is the technical support I have received when I have had a question regarding scripting. A member of the support team at MJTNET called me in Dallas from London AT MJTNET's EXPENSE to assist me with a minor scripting question. The technical support also has very fast email response times considering the 12 hour time zone difference. I buy alot of software online and have NEVER had anyone offer this level of service for such a low price. If you buy any software from MJTNET and have an issue, I dare you to email the support department. You will be satisfied with the result!! I GUARANTEE IT! I also own MacroSchedular Pro which is also an excellent product!
