Tipard Screen Capture: A Review
Tipard Screen Capture is a screen capture software developed by Tipard Studio for Mac devices. This utility allows users to capture their screens, as well as record video and audio on their computers. It offers tools to resize, export, and save captures for sharing or other purposes. Similar to other screen capture tools like SnagIt and Jing, Tipard Screen Capture allows for easy screen capture and recording without losing quality in the process. It is available in monthly or annual subscriptions, as well as one-time purchase options, with a free trial offer to test its features out first.
Tipard Screen Capture features a clean and simple user interface that presents itself as a toolbar when you first open the program. You can pick from three main functions, namely Video Recorder, Audio Recorder, or just your standard Screen Capture. If you choose either the video or screen capture modes, you will need to set the capture size first before proceeding. You can enable your webcam at the same time as you record a video, as well as adjust your system and mic volume. A preview will appear, letting you set a start and end time, or re-adjust the size. An audio recording will only have volume adjustment options. Meanwhile, the Screen Capture will let you modify your screenshot with various editing tools. Lastly, you can refer to Preferences windows to set various recording parameters, hide or show your mouse pointer during recording, enable hotkeys for quicker operation, and configure output options when you save files to your computer. One thing that Tipard could use more work on and improve is the tool's overall performance, which is rather on the slow side.
Overall, Tipard Screen Capture is a decent program for screen capturing and recording needs. It features a simple UI that is easy to understand and use, offers multiple capturing and recording modes, and the output quality is good. It could be faster, but aside from that, it's worth checking out.
