Nattanan Tantivanichkij (ID: 000000620ade7fc1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/18/2019 It works great.Sometime robotcorder help us to write more easy than write beginning. Some function can't use keyword when you inspected, but robotcorder help it's easy to predict keyword, step or element locator to use them. (Reduce period of time to inspected element .) keep it up. !!! >v<

Paul Moore (ID: 000000fd232ea113) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/28/2019 I haven't gotten really in to it yet, but it looks promising. Of the few recorders that output Robot syntax, this is the only one that can playback in Robot without messing with keywords. Really nice so far.
