INTRODUCTION

ZoomIt is a screen zoom, annotation, and recording tool for technical
presentations and demos. You can also use ZoomIt to snip screenshots to the
clipboard or to a file. ZoomIt runs unobtrusively in the tray and activates with
customizable hotkeys to zoom in on an area of the screen, move around while
zoomed, and draw on the zoomed image. I wrote ZoomIt to fit my specific needs
and use it in all my presentations.

ZoomIt works on all versions of Windows and you can use touch and pen input for
ZoomIt drawing on tablets.


USING ZOOMIT

The first time you run ZoomIt it presents a configuration dialog that describes
ZoomIt's behavior, let's you specify alternate hotkeys for zooming and for
entering drawing mode without zooming, and customize the drawing pen color and
size. I use the draw-without-zoom option to annotate the screen at its native
resolution, for example. ZoomIt also includes a break timer feature that remains
active even when you tab away from the timer window and allows you to return to
the timer window by clicking on the ZoomIt tray icon.


SHORTCUTS

ZoomIt offers a number of shortcuts which can extend its usage greatly.

Function Shortcut Zoom Mode Ctrl + 1 Zoom In Mouse Scroll Up or Up Arrow Zoom
