J'ai rajouté ScreenFlash, par contre ARTICULATE je n'ai pas bien vu, compris sur leur site quel logiciel fait de la capture d'écrans.
Le comparatif est public donc vous pouvez ajouter les critères qui vous semblent pertinents. (Seul DemoCreator / Fraps / Pixetell ne sont pas modifiables mais vous pouvez suggérer des modifications à leur éditeur respectif) Vous pouvez aussi faire "enregistrer sous" pour réutiliser le contenu en faisant une version plus orienté e-learning les valeurs des critères réutilisés seront modifiés sur les deux comparatifs.
