TechSmith started the Jing Project earlier this year to garner input from loyal TechSmith customers during the development of this new technology. 'With the Jing Project, we are striving to give users an easy and fun way to explain, entertain, inform, rant, train, educate, and engage others by sharing their online experiences.' 'Whether it’s for our professional or personal lives, we all spend a ton of time online and much of that time is spent communicating with others,' said Tony Dunckel, Jing Project Manager at TechSmith. A two-minute sample screencast of Jing can be viewed here.

It’s the ideal way to explain things when words just won’t do. Screencasts are little movies that users create, on a Mac or PC, of what they see on their computer screens and what they say.

Screenshots and screencasts are perfect visual elements for adding impact to online conversations via email, instant messaging, social networks, blogs, community groups and forums. The project’s goal is to create an incredibly simple, always-ready tool for capturing, enhancing and sharing screenshots and screencasts in seconds. TechSmith Corp., the world’s leading provider of screen capture and recording solutions, today announced Phase Two in its consumer-feedback campaign known as the Jing Project.
