Windows 10: Adding Keyboard Text to Screen Captures

I need to "Screen Capture" a portion or more of my Monitor and then "ADD" text onto the image, using my Keyboard.

Currently, if you use the Snipping Tool, the only way to add notes is to DRAW.

Is there an Ap or a piece of Software that allows me to QUICKLY capture a portion of my screen and QUICKLY add a few notes "on top of" the captured image .... Then, QUICKLY save it all as one file. The content can be saved as a JPG (preferred.)

I can't stress enough how this has to be "QUICK". I may review 25 web pages in just a few minutes and I need to add a few notes/ a phone number/ a date/ etc onto the file... Then 'save it to my computer' and QUICKLY move to the next web page.

Using Microsoft Office or other large tools is not the answer.

Thanks!




I thought this would be simple to find.. but no luck

:)

 

Additional icons appeared on Desktop

I didn't use the snipping tool (which is included in Windows). I instead got a window screen capture (Alt+Print Screen on the Keyboard) then pasted the picture on Paint, then added the rectangle.

I hope that helps.

 

How To Save an Entire Webpage (NOT Screenshot !!!)

I tried Chrome first, but there are NOT 3 dots in my Chrome browser. So, then I tried Explorer, and see the 3 dots.

I added several different extensions to Screen Capture. I just tried the Full Page Screen Capture, which works !!! It is very similar to the Screen Capture on my Galaxy Note 8. I can't edit the text, but at least I can saved full webpages.

Now, I just need to find a way to save full webpages that will allow me to edit the text, and still keep all of the images, and also with Active Links ..... I can do that easily with my smartphone.

 

- however it doesn't seem to offer a way of changing the font.

So you could try pickpick

Note- this URL does something silly when I add it, so delete spaces.

 

Thank you .... I will give it a try ....... but so far.... I am not impressed with the "download" options.... One site wants me to agree to this or that and the other says my Flash needs updating... But I will keep looking for a safe way to download.

thanks

 

PicPick Download
DuckLink DuckCapture Download
- usually a reliable site.

 

I found DuckCapture....download via CNET, which I trust, but the latest version is 2.7 / 2011 and does not include Windows 10 in its list of operating systems... There are a lot of LINKS to "DuckLink" - Duckcapture, but that is where I was getting the erroneous download suggestions.... So I guess this question is still outstanding.............

 

CURRENT VERSION*BiggrinuckLink DuckCapture 2.7
RUNS ON:Windows XP • Windows Vista • Windows Vista 64 bit • Windows 7 • Windows 7 64 bit • Windows 8 • Windows 8 64 bit • Windows 2003 • Windows 2008

 

No. I use Duckcapture regularly. It's the only one I've found good for scrolling capture (last I looked!). Just not updated.

Picpick works- did you see the alternative? That certainly offers good text options - but no good on scrolling capture. Just tried it.

 

The info above came from your Link.... Thanks for your help .... I've got to log off... Hopefully, this Thread will capture some additional attention.

 

Did not notice your suggestion PicPick ...... will check it out now

 

PicPick is going to work! Will take a bit of learning.... but it has tons of additional options that may work for me in the Future. Right now, all I want to do is Capture a Website page with the "contact us" info showing and make a note regarding my "sales call to them" and save the image to my computer.... Simple... easy .... and I think your suggestion of PicPick is going to work out fine.

Thanks for the help dalchina

 

If the program doesn't have to be free, TechSmith's Snagit includes a facility called Snagit Editor. This program includes the ability to quickly and easily drop text onto a screen cap (or any other graphic) and to position arrows to point to specific items or elements. Use it all the time. It also captures screen videos. It may be overkill, and it's kind of expensive ($50, but $30 for education and government users), but it does the job nicely.
