There is many different types of commercial screen recording software available like Captivate and Camtasia that offer lots of extra capabilities to create eLearning simulations and training. Other free software like Screenr have many limitations including limited time to record, watermarks, trial limitations, constant reminders to buy full version and don’t have many tools to edit and enhance screen recordings and presentations.
