TUAW Faceoff: Screencasting

Screencasting — the not-so-ancient art of recording the computer screen for the entertainment and enrichment of others — has evolved into quite a Hydra of options.

Dilo v1.1 for Mac® OS X final 10.4 or higher

Dilo looks up words at web dictionaires and shows the English/French/Spanish or German translation of that word. It is kind of comparable to “Babylon” for Windows, but uses a public web-dictionary instead of having a local one.

Dilo iso basically concentrated on the German language, i.e. all translation are from/to German. Specifically, there is no translation e.g. between French and English or English and Turkish.
