I am a totally blind individual working in customer support, and part of my duties include writing userguide for our web based product.

When writing user guides, I need to insert screenshots of what I'm explaining. I generally use alt+print screen to capture the current window. And that's where the problem starts.

I need to highlight certain parts of text within the screenshot. While using shift and the arrow keys selects text, it only shows it as highlighted in editable text. On non-editable text, the items will be selected, but they don't appear highlighted to the eye.

I need specific things I'm explaining to be highlighted. Of course, if there was a way of only capturing the selected text and nothing else, that would even be better.

My stack:

Windows 11 with NVDA.

My impairment: 100% visually impaired.

​

Any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks.

Edit:

After messing around, it looks like if I select something with my arrows, then hold down control + alt, the highlight becomes visual. Still testing how good this is.
