Desktop Activity Recorder

Desktop Activity Recorder is an excellent tool developed by SpeedApps Inc. for those who want to create screencast tutorials or capture screen activities on their computer. The latest version of the program is 2.6, and it is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows XP, XP Professional, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11. Users can download this application under the Photo & Graphics category and the Screen Capture subcategory.

The primary executable file for this software is named DesktopActivityRecorder.exe, which indicates its straightforward purpose. Users can choose between recording an entire screen or just a specific section, and the recordings are saved in either AVI or SWF format with customizable codecs.

Desktop Activity Recorder is particularly useful for creating tutorials, thanks to its ability to add audio and annotations. Annotations can include high-quality, anti-aliased screen captions in multiple languages. The program also offers a Video Annotation feature that allows users to include webcam footage in their recordings, making it easier to create personalized and interactive videos.

The latest version, 2.6, builds on previous versions (2.1 and 2.0) by enhancing video quality settings and customization options. Adjusting video quality can help manage file sizes, and users can insert audio from a microphone for better sound quality. On the downside, the software does not have robust audio editing options, so any errors in the recording may require you to start the audio over, which can be time-consuming. More
