Intellij IDEA plugin for editing IDE screencasts.
Test GUI Framework and ScreencastRecorder plugins are required to be installed.
ScreencastRecorder allows user to record and reproduce screencasts within IDE.
Recorded screencasts can be edited with ScreencastEditor plugin.
Screencast is a zip (but with .scs extension) of:
- UI automation script
- Recorded audio (*)
- Imported audio (*)
- Transcript of zipped audio (*)
(*) - optional
✅ Built-in audio editor and player. (Currently supports WAV and MP3 formats).
✅ Transcript based mode of audio editing.
✅ If transcript is absent it can be obtained by transcribing recorded speech using external speech recognition service. (Now, only Google Speech-to-text API is supported).
✅ Visual editor of script's actions' timings.
✅ Script can be edited as regular Kotlin file without time offsets, ScreencastEditor will automatically try to guess missing offsets.
See ScreencastRecorder's page for guide.
