Recognising number plates to make drivers’ ‘social network’?

MockupScreens and ECMerge Screencast Tours

I’m rather chuffed with our two most recent ProCasts screencam productions. For Igor of MockupScreens.com we’ve produced our first dual-narration screencast, this one shows you a typical use of his rapid UI mock-up tool.  Richard takes on the voice of the client, I take the voice of the contractor who is making the mock-up: For […]
