Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed that utilize screen capture to identify media. Example meter devices disclosed herein are to, in response to determining a media device is powered on, monitor a media device to detect audio output by the media device. Disclosed example meter devices are also to, in response to audio not being detected for a period of time, instruct an image capture device to capture image data representative of a media presentation by the media device. Disclosed example meter devices are also to instruct the image capture device to stop capturing the image data in response to detection of audio output by the media device. Disclosed example meter devices are also to determine, based on whether the image data corresponds to a menu presentation by the media device, whether to transmit the image data to a central facility for media identification.
