Our approach is different than other tools for taking screenshots and doing annotations. We use the web browser not the desktop.
Markup Hero is a little different than just about all the other tools for taking screenshots and doing markup. Most tools are desktop applications that open actual software windows to view and markup your screenshots. Instead of this approach, we show you a screenshot and give you markup tools in the browser. For new users to Markup Hero, this can be a little awkward. Any change to an existing behavior take a bit of time to get used to, but we promise, if you give it a try, you'll find it's way better. Here are a few reasons why.
Taking Lot's of Screenshots Fast and Then Doing Markup
If you are using the native Mac or Windows screenshot tool, or most other tools like Monosnap, Zappy, etc. then you're kinda limited to 1 screenshot and markup at a time. In many cases this is fine, you have something you want to snap, you snap it, you add arrows and text and you save the file. But often users find the need to take many screenshots and markup each one to use in part of another document, like a How To for example. It's more efficient to just click-and-snap over and over to take a bunch of screenshots in a row. All of these will be opened in a new browser tab and instantly saved to your history. You can go back to the browser at some point later, even if you close the tabs, and markup each one-by one, or even side by side in multiple browser windows. This has come in so handy for us lately we thought we should share it with our users.
