Because of Techsmith’s commitment to innovation and quality, the Camtasia product is often
improved and enhanced with each new release cycle. Techsmith was looking for a centralized
tool for listening to their customers, allowing them to talk to each other, so that Techsmith
could identify and prioritize potential new features for each updated version.
"
With a new release of Camtasia then approaching, Techsmith began monitoring customer
feedback through the IdeaScale platform. Since launching the IdeaScale feedback platform,
Techsmith has
"
• Collected hundreds of suggestions for future versions. With over 700 actively
engaged users, the ideas, suggestions, bugs, and feedback began to roll in through the
IdeaScale application.
• Users who have voted over 5.000 times on a variety of different ideas.The level of
engagement from Camtasia users has helped Techsmith gain valuable insight into the minds
of their customers on a number of different subjects.
• Tracked which features and suggestions were most popular. Techsmith was able to
identify which bugs, needs, and ideas were most pressing because other users responded to
similar suggestions. This helped to prioritize the Techsmith work"ow, saving both time and
money.
• Added several new features.Based on user suggestions, Techsmith has now given the
users the ability to record keystrokes pressed, import and export captions, overlay graphics
on a timeline, make updates to closed captioning, and much more.
• Used the information generated from the IdeaScale suggestions to assist internal
communications.When developing a new ad or promoting the next Camtasia release, the
product team shares the IdeaScale feedback with the communications team so that they
understand why customers need certain features. It gives them a direct link to the customer
and context for what it means for Techsmith to add a certain feature and how the
customers might use it.

According to Shane Lovellette, Product Manager for Camtasia Studio & Camtasia:mac, “One of the
best things about the IdeaScale solution is that it saves the team both time and debate on
identifying new features for each upcoming release. We know what’s important to include as
well as why. It is a place for people to constantly add and suggest new feedback and we’ve found
that it’s a great way to communicate with others about why we implement those changes.”
"
Due to the IdeaScale suggestions, Techsmith is now planning to implement several new features in
their next release. As Camtasia continues to grow in popularity, as well as features, users can
continue to count on a quality product that reflects their needs. To learn more about the Camtasia
