Product Description:

Everyone loves visual documentation. It is so much easier to see a picture of what you need to do as opposed to reading lengthy instructions.

ScreenSteps makes creating visual training almost effortless:

  • Capture each step of the process you are trying to teach. The images are automatically sequenced in the order you took them. Crop images and add highlights to focus on the pertinent areas of the screen
  • Go back and add text describing each step. You shouldn't have to write too much since the pictures will show each step of the process.
  • Export your lesson to PDF or HTML. You can even create your own HTML and XML templates.

That's it. You can literally create visual, detailed lessons in 5 to 10 minutes.

What's new in this version:

  • Text templates now export using UTF-8. This affects the HTML exporting option.
  • Resize cursors added for cropping/resizing of objects.
  • New Save Changes dialog box.

  • Mac OS X 10.5 PPC

This was a very useful product at the time I did my first review and it continues to improve.

The support from the developers is quick and useful.

The companion product ScreenStepsLive (a web site to which you can download lessons you have created in ScreenSteps) is easy to use and flexible. The feedback I have received from the lessons I posted is very positive.

I highly recommend Screensteps - it is good value.

I indicated in my earlier posting that the developer promised an update to fix the small problem I identified. That update was delivered within 3 hours of my first email to the developer. You can't ask for better service than that!

If all software developers were like this it would be a wonderful world.

I downloaded this software to try it before buying. I created a small test file (which was very easy as the software does exactly what the online tutorial says it will do). I was very pleased with the results.

When I came to export the lesson file, it would export as HTML put not as PDF. I sent an email to the support centre and received a reply within 10 minutes. Over the next hour we exchanged several emails and the developer had identified the problem and promised to put out a maintenance update to solve the problem. Meanwhile he gave me sufficient information to allow me to avoid the problem (and save PDFs) in other lessons that I develop.

I am very pleased with the results I am achieving with the product and it is quick and easy to use. I had previously been producing "lessons" about Photoshop and building them in to Powerpoint presentations. ScreenSteps produces better results in a fraction of the time.
