Morae Kit:

Morae Recorder: a tool for recording audio, chronicling user actions and capturing images from the screen, displaying input from the keyboard and mouse.

Morae Observer: a tool for monitoring the user during testing, allows you to make operational notes and communicate with the tester in real time.

Testing mobile devices, applications and operating systems: test with real users any product: from coffee machines to GPS devices and smartphones. More features – better interface.
Morae is the best choice for effective testing. The application allows you to form and analyze a chronicle of actions both on the part of the user and on the part of the system under study. Specialists will be able to observe the testers at any time, communicate with them and take notes in the video.
Morae Recorder allows you to record video from the screen, webcam and sound, track input from the keyboard / mouse during the study. Depending on the testing method, it is possible to record video only from a webcam (without capturing an image from the screen).
Efficiency: Morae combines in one convenient application many tools that were often unrelated to each other, but were still constantly used by testers.
The program provides a high quality digital recording that is easy to analyze, and a convenient timeline will noticeably help with this.
Push the boundaries: Use Morae to record video from your webcam only. This feature will be useful, for example, when recording interviews, hardware testing, checking documentation, etc.
Everything you need: with Morae, your videos are always at your fingertips. Use convenient functions to view, analyze, generate and display results – all with one click.
Test Assistance: AutoPilot will automatically provide testers with all instructions, tasks, and surveys during their studies. Use this tool for open offline testing, such as at trade shows. If only one specialist is engaged in testing, then AutoPilot will help him better analyze and monitor the work of testers.

Morae Observer allows testers to monitor the progress of the study in real time, as well as take notes and compose relevant tasks. With Observer you can easily connect via network (LAN / WAN / VPN) to any computer, provided that the Recorder works on it. Multiple Observer users can monitor the same computer at the same time.

Work efficiently: Connect to the Recorder from anywhere on the network. Observer users will be able to see and hear everything that happens during testing – the image from the screen, webcams, what a person types on the keyboard, the sound from the tester’s microphone. Professionals or stakeholders can collaborate on comments, set markers, and communicate with each other. Convenient for you – just customers.
Intelligent Testing Log: Forget about the stopwatch, notepad and pen. Morae structures and synchronizes the recording in such a way that at any time you can easily navigate to any fragment of it using the timeline. Use special markers right during testing to mark the necessary moments on the record. A convenient search by markers will significantly speed up the processes of demonstration and subsequent analysis.
Easy communication: Interacting with other observers is now easier than ever before. With Morae chat, observers using Observer will be able to easily contact each other, as well as testers using recorder.

Morae Manager allows you to efficiently view, mount and analyze test records. Manager will automatically calculate the necessary indicators, generate ergonomic graphs, and provide all the tools for processing video recordings so that they can be shown to partners.

Save time: Markers and tasks marked during testing will be displayed directly on the recording timeline as small icons. Just hover over the indicator you want to see the full comment on it. Click on it to go to the marked moment in the video.

Fast, automated analysis: Morae saves you valuable time by automatically calculating key metrics and charting. The program will independently calculate the standard indicators of usability testing (efficiency, performance, etc.).

Efficient analysis of results: look for only what you need in several videos at once – easily identify trends and patterns without Excel.
