What are you going to do when a less computer savvy friend of yours asks for your help in dealing with an application? You tried explaining it to him but it seems that your words are not enough. You tried taking snapshot but he still doesn’t know what to do about it. Frustrating isn’t it? You wish you have another way to get your message across.

Good thing there’s Screencast. A screencast is a digital recording of computer screen output, also known as a video screen capture, often containing audio narration. Screencasts are a useful tool for ordinary software users as well, to help report or to show others how a given task is accomplished in a specific software environment. Screencasts are excellent tools for learning how to use computers, and several podcasts have started to teach computer users how to use software through screencasts. Unfortunately, some screencast applications are subscription based. If you are looking for cheaper alternative you should check Jing by Techsmith.
