Description

HelpScribble is a versatile and user-friendly help authoring tool designed to assist you in creating comprehensive help files from the ground up. With it, you can seamlessly generate WinHelp (.hlp) files, HTML Help (.chm) files, printed manuals, and online documentation for your website all within a single HelpScribble project. If you have prior experience with another help authoring software, you can easily incorporate your existing work by importing HPJ+RTF files produced by that tool or through the use of a help decompiler. The help files generated with HelpScribble can be utilized to offer context-sensitive assistance for your Windows applications, regardless of the development environment employed. Moreover, HelpScribble allows you to create standalone portable documents for distribution. This software is compatible with a wide range of Windows operating systems including Windows 98, ME, NT4, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, and 10, and it even supports help file creation for older versions like Windows 3.1 and 95. You can easily download a complimentary evaluation version to explore its features and functionality firsthand. This tool is an excellent choice for anyone looking to streamline their help documentation process efficiently.
