HelpXplain

Help+Manual

In Technical Documentation, we often need to explain multi-steps procedures. We use bullet lists, we add screenshots and text. The more we add, the more likely it is that our readers will lose track. An Xplain, as we call it, is a series of slides freely arranged on a huge canvas to spark your creativity. HelpXplain is perfect for slideshows embedded into web pages and technical documentation. Create animated step-by-step tutorials and quick instructions in minutes instead of hours. The magic is in the method, HelpXplain animates a series of simple screenshots, each of which can be edited or replaced at any time. HelpXplain can also record multi-page screencasts of programs on your computer screen that run in autoplay mode like a video. Recording and editing them is massively easier and less stressful than trying to create a video! All Xplains are 100% standards-compliant HTML5 and Javascript.
