Vidocu vs Tango: from one recording to a complete help article
Tango excels at capturing click-by-click workflows. Vidocu is built for what comes after recording—subtitles, voiceover, screenshots, and a step-by-step help article in multiple languages.
Trusted by product teams, support teams, and creators
If your goal is to capture a web workflow into a step-by-step guide and optionally pin guidance inside tools, Tango is a strong fit. If you start with a video and need professional, publish-ready outputs (subtitles, AI voiceover, screenshots/annotations, and a structured help article) in multiple languages, Vidocu is purpose-built for that workflow.
Vidocu turns one video into multiple deliverables (subtitles + voiceover + help article + screenshots/annotations)
Vidocu is optimized for help centers, knowledge bases, onboarding, and creator workflows—not only browser-click capture
Vidocu supports multi-language publishing with AI voiceover in 65+ languages
Vidocu vs Tango: Feature Comparison
See how Vidocu compares to Tango across key features
| Feature | Vidocu | Tango | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary input | Video recording (screen + voice) as the source of truth | Browser-based workflow capture via extension | Choose based on whether your team starts from videos or from click-through processes in web apps. |
| Help article generation | Auto-generates a step-by-step help article with screenshots and annotations from the video | Creates step-by-step guides with screenshots and descriptions from captured workflows | Vidocu focuses on turning a single video into a help-center-ready article; Tango focuses on click capture and guide formatting. |
| Subtitles & captions | Automatic subtitle generation from your video | Not emphasized on the website as a core feature | If accessibility and captioned training content matter, Vidocu is designed around video outputs. |
| AI voiceover / narration | AI voiceover in 65+ languages | Not emphasized on the website as a core feature | Useful for localized training and consistent narration without re-recording. |
| Multi-language publishing | Multi-language support across outputs (subtitles, voiceover, documentation) | Not emphasized on the website as a core feature | Vidocu is built for teams supporting global users and multi-language help centers. |

What Vidocu Does Differently
While Tango focuses on video communication, Vidocu transforms videos into complete content ecosystems
One recording → multiple professional outputs
Vidocu is designed around a simple idea: recording is fast, everything after is slow. From a single video, Vidocu produces subtitles, AI voiceover, a step-by-step help article, and screenshots/annotations—so you don’t rebuild the same content in multiple formats.
Help-center ready documentation from video
Vidocu turns video into structured written documentation that’s easy to publish in a help center or knowledge base. It’s ideal when your team already trains or explains via video and needs a clean article version without manual rewriting.
Localization without re-recording
With AI voiceover in 65+ languages and multi-language support, Vidocu helps teams ship localized training and support content faster—without scheduling new recordings for every market.
Designed for training, onboarding, and creators—not only click capture
Tango is optimized for capturing web workflows and driving adoption inside tools. Vidocu is optimized for turning recorded explanations into reusable assets for onboarding, training libraries, YouTube workflows, and customer education.
Consistency at scale
Vidocu standardizes the outputs teams typically need: captions, narration, screenshots, and a step-by-step article. That consistency matters when multiple teammates contribute to a help center or training program.

Feature Deep Dive
Explore how Vidocu's features work and why they matter
Video-first vs. browser-capture-first workflows
Tango is built around capturing web workflows through a browser extension and turning them into polished step-by-step guides. Vidocu is built around starting with a video recording and producing everything you need after the recording—written documentation, captions, narration, and visuals.
- Choose Tango when the workflow is primarily clicking through a web app and you want in-context enablement
- Choose Vidocu when training/support starts as a recording and you want multiple publish-ready outputs from it
Documentation that supports different learning styles
Teams often need both video and written documentation. Vidocu helps you deliver both without doubling your work—subtitles and voiceover for the video, plus a structured help article with screenshots for readers.
- Reduce “can you write this up?” follow-ups after recording
- Create accessible content with captions and clear step lists
Multi-language enablement at a practical pace
Tango’s website emphasizes adoption, in-app guidance, and automation. Vidocu emphasizes multi-language content production from video—helpful when you support international customers or distributed teams.
- AI voiceover in 65+ languages for localized training
- Multi-language support across documentation and video outputs
Editing and polish without starting over
Both tools support customization, but Vidocu’s editing workflow is tuned for refining video-derived assets (subtitles, voiceover, screenshots/annotations, and the final article) so content looks professional without re-recording.
- Edit captions and narration to match your terminology
- Adjust screenshots/annotations and article steps for clarity
How to Switch from Tango to Vidocu
Switching to Vidocu is straightforward. Here's how to get started.
List your high-impact guides
Identify the Tango guides that drive the most onboarding, support deflection, or internal training. Prioritize the top 10–20 to migrate first.
Record (or reuse) a clean walkthrough video
For each process, capture a short video that matches how you want to teach it. If you already have training videos, use those as the source.
Generate subtitles and a step-by-step help article in Vidocu
Upload/record in Vidocu and generate the full documentation package: subtitles, help article, and screenshots/annotations.
Add AI voiceover for localization or consistency
Create voiceovers in the languages your customers or teams need. This is especially useful when you want consistent narration across multiple authors.
Edit for accuracy and brand tone
Use Vidocu’s built-in editors to refine step text, terminology, and visuals. Align titles, headings, and callouts to your help center style.
Publish into your help center / knowledge base
Move the generated article into your documentation hub and link the video version for users who prefer watching.
Set a maintenance workflow
When the product changes, re-record the short video and regenerate outputs. This keeps subtitles, narration, and the article in sync without manual rework.
