Snip, a new Microsoft Garage Project, is great for show-and-tell purposes. It is a capture tool that can be used to better communicate your ideas. It lets you capture whatever is on your screen, annotate the screenshot, and then share it with others.

If you’re familiar with the default Snipping Tool that’s bundled with Windows 7 and newer, you’ll immediately feel at home with the new Snip.

Snip – Main Features

• Snip it – capture anything that is on your desktop; take a screenshot of any window or area on your desktop.
• Annotate it – once you have your screenshot, you can annotate it: add a voice recording, use a pen to sketch and scribble on it.
• Share it – share your screenshot once you’re done annotating it: mail it, tweet it, post it online.
• Seamless setup – a simple setup wizard will help you install Snip on a PC that runs Windows 7, 8, or 10.
• Toolbar – by default, the Snip Toolbar places itself at the top on your monitor and hides out of sight when it’s not needed. Obviously, you can drag and drop the Snip Toolbar to any location you want.
• Whiteboard – use Snip’s Whiteboard to draw and better explain your ideas.
• Camera – you can capture images from your webcam.
• Library – access the library to view and manage all your screenshots.

Snip, as mentioned above, is a Microsoft Garage Project. But you won’t find it on the Garage Workbench website, you’ll find it on the Office Mix website.

Speaking about the Microsoft Garage, Microsoft’s 24-hour idea factory and haven for über geeks, I have to remind you about another project: Photo Story.

Recently released as a Windows Phone app, Photo Story can turn photos into engaging short videos. The app is available on the Microsoft Store right now. I’ve no idea if it will be released to Android or iOS.
