FastStone Capture Version 10.5 (May 22, 2024)
Added "Pin to Screen".
This feature allows you to pin and annotate screenshots on top of other windows, like sticky notes. Benefits include:
Reference Convenience: If you're working on a task that requires you to refer back to a screenshot frequently, having it pinned on your screen could save you from switching windows or applications constantly.
Efficient Comparisons: When you need to compare data between applications, pinning a screenshot can make it easier to view both sets simultaneously without needing a second monitor.
Visual Reminders: Pinned captures can serve as visual reminders for tasks that need to be completed, or information that needs attention, reducing the chance of forgetting important details.
Added "Capture Text".
Instead of manually typing text from a screenshot, this feature can extract the text and make it editable instantly, saving time and effort. It requires Windows 10/11.
