Description
Multi-step procedures are often needed in Technical Documentation. We use bullet lists, and we also add screenshots and text. We add more information, and readers are more likely to lose track. An Xplain, or as we call it, a series of slides that are freely arranged on a large canvas to spark your imagination. HelpXplain is ideal for embedding slideshows into web pages or technical documentation. You can create animated tutorials and quick instructions in minutes, instead of hours. HelpXplain creates animated screenshots that can be edited and replaced at any time. HelpXplain can also record multiple-page screencasts of programs that are running in autoplay mode, just like a video. It is much easier to record and edit them than creating a video. All Xplains comply with HTML5 and Javascript standards.
