Wink screensnapshot software

Wink (http://www.debugmode.com/wink/) is a free software to catch screen-shots.

Main features:

1. three modi: 1) take single screen shots 2) take shots at each mouse OR key action 3) take at real time. You can change between these modi in a session.
2. You can choose to record a specific window only (for example slices) or the whole screen.
3. You can edit the final screenshots: add voice, add text elements.
4. You can interleave different sessions.
5. The final formal is an adobe Flash swf-file, which is started via an html file. Any user is able to download Flash from Adobe.

Two commerical alternatives are camtasisa (microsoft http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.asp about 300 dollar) and captivate (adobe http://www.adobe.com/products/captivate/ about 600 dollar).

Captive seems to be more like wink, as it allows to take individual snapshots. It has the addtitional freature to allow interative learning facilitites as quizzies etc.

See for a comparison of both:
