Cool Tool: SnagIt Adds OneNote 2007 Functionality

This is cool. One of my favorite tools has just added some new functionality that allows it to collaborate with another of my favorite tools. TechSmith (our generous InkShow Sponsor) has released a new Output accessory to SnagIt that allows you to send your snagged items to OneNote 2007. This will come in very, very handy.

Basically you snag the screen (or whatever you need) and from the SnagIt preview screen you hit the OneNote 2007 button and voila. You can also change the locations of where the snags get sent, or have SnagIt create a new page for your output.

I picked this up from good friend and OneNote MVP Kathy Jacobs (she broadcast it on Twitter and has this post on her blog.)

Very cool. Here’s a quick and dirty little video of the new output in action. (Sorry, no audio.)

You can get the new tool here.

UPDATE: If you drop Kathy a comment and tell her how you use the new tool, you can be eligible to win license keys for SnagIt and Camtasia Studio. Check it out here.

Why not use the screen grabber built into OneNote itself?

Hit Windows-S, draw a box, and straight to OneNote. You even get a citation back to the originating document, and a timestamp.

That's no big deal and usually just a plain OLE based copy/paste action. Other screencapture tools like for example the "Cropper" C# .net freeware tool also offer plugins for a direct transfer to OneNote. - And as the previously poster already mentioned, OneNote can do it's own screencaptures too.

That is correct - OneNote can do its own its own screen capture, etc. However, the strength of SnagIt is what you can can do with that screen capture before sending it OneNote: edging, shadows, resizing, mark up that you want embedded into the picture, snipping an entire page and not just a window or a selection, etc, etc, etc.

Ahhh... some of those features I would do in OneNote itself, markup for example. Grabbing an entire page I would accomplish by printing to OneNote. But resizing would be nice.
