SoftOrbits is an image and video processing software development company founded in 2006 by Eugene Ustinenkov. Boasting more than a million yearly downloads and over 300,000 users, SoftOrbits has become one of the niche leaders by developing smaller-scale utilities aimed at amateur photographers, marketing teams, and influencers.
Recognized by Softonic, OISV, and CNET, SoftOrbits has managed to build a screen recorder utility that has become one of its leading products despite high competition for this type of software. Not only that, but Screen Recorder has maintained stable download numbers two years after its release.
“In a way, Screen Recorder embodies our values when it comes to software development. It is an extremely intuitive product that offers flexibility and can be used by customers of varied technical proficiency. Back in 2006, we created SoftOrbits with the idea of helping amateur photographers simplify their tedious tasks, and we see Screen Recorder as a branch of the same tree,” explains Eugene Ustinenkov, CEO of SoftOrbits and AlarmFront.
What makes Screen Recorder successful?
As the team behind SoftOrbits points out, the reason behind Screen Recorder’s lasting popularity lies in its simplicity and intuitiveness. The company’s software developers, UI experts, and QA specialists set a goal to make the most easily navigable and clear tool on the market.
However, these qualities aren’t the only ones that ensure consistent downloads for Screen Recorder. Here’s what the utility offers to users:
.
“Nothing compares to a crisp and clean design combined with smooth performance, so these two were our absolute priorities when it came to development. We’re very happy with the result, especially because it shows how any software developer can create a standalone product that will find its audience, as long as they prioritize quality,” says Eugene Ustinenkov, CEO of SoftOrbits, Candidate of Technical Sciences
Screen Recorder supports saving files as MP4 and AVI and offers lag-free recording even for resource-intensive tasks, combining this with hardware-accelerated codecs to compress video in real time with negligible CPU load. Not only that, but the team’s hardware-accelerated video encoding allows it to capture high-quality videos with no time limits or resolution constraints.
“We saw how multiple screen recorders failed to provide consistency, and knew that this alone would help our tool get traction. Most users aren’t looking for a feature-packed high-grade recording tool that offers dozens of options and adjustments. They just need a simple and reliable utility they can quickly download and use immediately — and that is exactly what we offer,” says Eugene Ustinenkov, CEO of SoftOrbits with more than 10 years of software development expertise.
While the team is happy with the way Screen Recorder performs, they are also looking for potential improvements in the future, including the implementation of small AI features.
“We see how AI can benefit the tool by adding some automation and helpful features — think of summarizing the audio and writing it out in a text file, for example. While we’re currently in the process of considering what the best path will be, you can be sure that we’ll keep updating the tool and uphold our high standards at all times,” says Hannes Jansen, writer and editor at SoftOrbits.
