Nice, simple but clunky
Oz_HelpdeskMay 18, 2014
Pros
Free Quick Easy Saves quite a bit of typing
Cons
Can't get the web page capture to work Not entirely accurate, especially on first pass Poor help (none) and not intuitive
Summary
I like it and use it, for I can't find a better one, however, a lot of the time it's quicker for me to type the copy. But I can touch type, so....
Incredibly useful to copy text
