ANNOUNCE: TechSmith, Makers of SnagIt, Announce Newest Software Product
Dan the technical writer slipped in to his company's staff meeting.
His coworkers were in the middle of discussing usability testing
options.
A manager said, "In order to analyze human-computer interaction, we're
thinking of getting a video camera, we need some staff, we need some
traveling equipment -"
"Or, you could use Morae, the only fully integrated, all-digital
solution for gaining critical insight into the user experience," Dan
offered.
Dan stood and wrote on the whiteboard:
Morae is the start-to-finish software solution:
· Record, log, analyze and share
· Completely portable, digital, tape-free
· Automatically synchronized screen and camera video
· Standard picture-in-picture
· Built-in professional editing
· No proprietary hardware necessary
"Dan," said a puzzled coworker, "it sounds great, but how do we know
it's good?"
"TechSmith, the makers of SnagIt, created Morae. And since TechSmith
staff pays so much attention to detail with SnagIt, I know that Morae
is worth looking into - at the very least," Dan responded.
A manager with Internet access logged on to TechSmith's site and began
reading to everyone about Morae.
Dan sat back, satisfied with his work. He was already looking forward
to the flowers, candy and cards he'd be receiving from the usability
team for months to come.
