Can you name screenshots by voice?
Yes. Quick clip in Clip by Zaweba opens a name box after you snip, and Windows voice typing can start in it, so you say the name and press Enter.
Yes. Quick clip in Clip by Zaweba lets you name a screenshot by speaking. Press Ctrl+Alt+C, snip part of the screen, and the name box that opens can start Windows voice typing, so you say the name, check it and press Enter. The snip is saved as a JPG with that name.
It sounds like a small thing. If you take a lot of screenshots, it changes how the job feels.
Why naming is the slow part
Taking a screenshot takes a second. Naming it properly takes longer: open a dialog, find the box, type, fix the typo, save. Most people skip it and end up with folders of files named by date and time. When you need one again, you open them one by one.
Speaking a name is quicker than typing one, and you can do it while your hand stays on the mouse. That's what makes naming every snip realistic rather than something you mean to do.
How the voice part works
Clip doesn't do its own speech recognition. It uses Windows voice typing, the same feature you'd normally start with Win+H in any text box. After you snip with Ctrl+Alt+C, Quick clip's name box opens in front of everything, and voice typing can start in it.
Say the name in plain words, for example invoice template footer layout. Check what's appeared in the box, then press Enter. Quick clip turns it into lower-case words joined by hyphens, invoice-template-footer-layout.jpg, and saves it in Pictures\Clips, or in the folder you've chosen instead.
You can always type instead of speaking, or correct a misheard word by hand before pressing Enter.
What makes a good spoken name
Plain, everyday words work best. Voice typing handles common words well and unusual product names or codes less well, so describe what's in the picture rather than reading out a reference number.
Lead with the word that groups things together. If you're documenting a program, start every name with its name. If you're collecting evidence for a support ticket, start with the customer or the problem. Files then sort together in the folder.
Keep it short. Four or five words usually say enough.
No overwriting, no clutter
If you say the same name twice, the second file doesn't replace the first. It gets -2 on the end, then -3. That's handy when you're taking a sequence of shots of the same screen as something changes.
Files are JPGs at quality 85 by default, and any see-through parts become white.
Who finds it useful
People writing guides and instructions, who need a named shot of each step. Testers and support staff recording what they see. Designers and researchers collecting references. Anyone who has ever searched a Screenshots folder for one particular picture.
Pictures you've already copied
Speech isn't the only route to a named file. If a picture is already in your clipboard history, the History page's Save as JPG saves it with the same naming rules, same folder and same quality as Quick clip.
Everything stays on your PC: the snip, the file and the folder. Clip by Zaweba is offline, with no account, and the voice typing is Windows' own feature. The result is screenshots you can find again, named in the time it takes to say what they are.
