A small annotation needs another editor
Capture and editable annotation
Capture a region or window and add arrows, shapes or text. Adjust annotations without taking the screenshot again.
Sniptra / FEATURES
What Sniptra can do
Take in the whole picture first, then go deeper where it matters. Every capability links to the detailed reference, including platform differences and permissions.
BUILT AROUND YOUR DAY
Make your point after the capture.
Mark the important area, add a note or extract text, then copy, save or pin the result in one capture workflow.
Text in an image has to be typed again
Run OCR locally on demand
Recognize the text you need in the capture canvas and copy it into your next task. OCR runs on the device.
Your reference image gets buried
Pin, copy or save
Pin an image for reference, copy it or export it. Scrolling capture varies by platform; there is no screenshot-history library.
