There's something a little wonky about your Java detection. On my laptop, I have Java 6 Update 5 installed, but your page it telling me "we have a problem! Iorad needs you to get java" (Windows XP SP3, Firefox 7.0.1). On the other hand, in a virtual machine (WinXP SP3, Chrome 19), I logged in and got all the way to "pick which window to record", but at the same time Chrome was telling me to install Java (which wasn't installed yet!). I then had to refresh the page to get it to show my active windows. Very weird indeed.
A few comments about the product itself:
- Customization and branding is critical in companies, so make sure you quickly add a way to customize the bubbles, color scheme, and add a watermark logo on the recordings (or the "View" page).
- Exporting would be an awesome way to turn this into something trainers could use in a class environment, especially if it could be used "offline" (not for editing, just actually viewing the tutorial). Flash would be great, or even just HTML5. Make sure it can integrate into existing HTML though (embedding).
- An "Automatic" mode where things would run by themselves (non-interactive), along with mouse paths and clicks, would go a long way to compete with professional tools that do this already. In this case, exporting could be static videos.
- Voiceovers (either directly recorded or uploading audio) would be awesome. If combining voice overs and automatic mouse controls, make sure you have some timing adjustments tools there :)
You're already a good ways through to becoming a competitor to software like Adobe Captivate. I see a bright future for you and, as soon as the above features are implemented, I'm convinced that you'll get a lot of clients like my current employer lining up and saying "Shut up and take my money!".
- sunpatel 15y agoIll look into the Java detection stuff. Beside that yes we will have a "see it" mode (mouse trails and clicks) along with the "try it" mode. We have export to ppt, doc, and pdf...this will be a $ feature. Most of the ideas you mentioned are on the drawing board...so its good to know someone else beside me needs it and Im not totally nuts.
- eslachance 15y agoIt really depends on the market. I'm just comparing to Captivate and similar screen simulation software, really. If they can make a buck selling a $500 piece of software, you can do it on a smaller monthly fee as a SaaS for sure. I'm happy to see you were already planning these things, can't wait to see them! Perhaps you should start a newsletter, or a notification system so we're advised of your progress. I, for one, am very interested in seeing you evolve! * Edit *: little feedback on useability: After grabbing a share link, I visited the URL and was very confused on which ones of the "Tutorial" or "Quick Guide" option was selected. You're going against the grain with these buttons, the "pressed" version should be the active one, and not vice versa.
