What is it?

1. Screenshot and documentation tool on Steroids.
2. It can take a series of screenshots and generate documentation in Microsoft Word template.
3. Just like Windows’ built-in Snip and Sketch or Snipping tool but, with Microsoft Paint & OCR capabilities.
4. Installs locally, just like Snappy.
5. This tool can spit out a skeleton for RPA developers.
6. This is to RPA developer, what Gherkin/Cucumber is to a C#/Java developer.
