FAR HTML can create WebHelp using simple HTML/CSS/JavaScript. FAT HTML software contains partial translation into Japanese, German and Simplified Chinese. FAR is clever in that it fills many of the gaps left by other main stream tools. Yet FAR is capable of holding its own when it comes to creating and maintaining industry standard documentation and help. Some of these other tools are more than 10x the cost of FAR but do less and are less reliable. We hope you are more productive in your day because of FAR Tools.

    Tettra

    Tettra is an internal knowledge base with smart workflows to help you answer repetitive questions. Tettra helps you document important processes, policies, and procedures in one centralized place. This makes onboarding new teammates much faster and answering questions less repetitive. Most of our time is spent in cloud apps. As software continues to eat the world, the amount of information we create and the number of tools we use continues to rise. With all this information comes downsides. This fragmentation of tools and teams makes it tough to share context and agree on the best decisions, especially cross-functionally. On growing teams, your best employees shouldn't be bogged down by repetitive questions. To move fast, everyone needs access to the same information and principles. Your internal knowledge base will only be successful if everyone contributes to it. Tettra makes it easy for anyone to contribute knowledge by referencing content in other systems.
