Create a user manual from screen recordings
Record your product once. Vidocu writes the user manual: chapters, step-by-step guides and screenshots, in 70+ languages.

Why user manuals fall behind
Writing the manual is slow. Keeping it current is slower.
Manuals take weeks
Every task has to be clicked through, written up and screenshotted by hand before the first chapter is done.
Screenshots go stale every release
One UI change and dozens of screenshots are out of date. Nobody has time to find and replace them all.
Translation is expensive
Each language is another round of writing, review and screenshots, so most manuals ship in one language only.
How to create a user manual with Vidocu
One recording per task. Vidocu writes the chapter.
- 1
Record each workflow
Record your screen, upload a recording you already have, or let the AI Recorder click through the flow for you.
- 2
Vidocu writes each chapter
Every recording becomes a guide with headings, numbered steps and screenshots, plus subtitles and voiceover for the video.
- 3
Edit and organize
Fix wording in the editor and group guides into sections, the way your manual is laid out.
- 4
Publish or export
Publish to a hosted Knowledge Center, push to your help center, or export as PDF, Word, Markdown or HTML.
Or let the AI Recorder do it
Describe a flow in plain language. An agent signs in to your web app in a real browser, clicks through it, and returns the video, the screenshots and the article.
Chapters, not loose notes
Each guide has headings, numbered steps and screenshots. Edit any of it in the built-in editor before you publish.
Every language from one recording
Translate the guides and add subtitles and voiceover in 70+ languages, without recording again.
A manual that keeps up with your releases
Pulse watches your product and your code. It checks GitHub, the live app and your existing articles, works out which pages are now wrong, and drafts the updates with fresh screenshots and video.
Scans run daily, weekly or monthly. Nothing is published until someone on your team approves it.
Publish the finished manual to a hosted Knowledge Center with AI search, or push it to Zendesk, Intercom, Notion, Help Scout, Freshdesk or GitBook.
A simple user manual template
Most software user manuals follow this outline. Use it as your table of contents, then record one chapter per task.
- 1
Introduction
What the product does, who the manual is for, and how to use the manual.
- 2
Getting started
System requirements, signing in, and a first-run walkthrough.
- 3
Core tasks
One chapter per task, each with numbered steps and a screenshot of each screen.
- 4
Settings and administration
Account settings, user roles and permissions, and integrations.
- 5
Troubleshooting
Common errors, what causes them, and how to fix them.
- 6
Glossary and support
Terms used in the product, and how to contact support.

Frequently asked questions
List the tasks your users need to do, then record each one on screen. Vidocu turns every recording into a chapter with numbered steps and screenshots. Review the drafts, group them into sections, and publish the result as a hosted manual or export it.
A step-by-step guide with a title, headings, numbered steps and screenshots, plus the video itself with subtitles and an optional AI voiceover. You can translate all of it into other languages.
No. You can upload recordings you already have, or use the AI Recorder: describe the flow in plain language and an agent signs in to your web app in a real browser, performs the steps, and records them for you.
Re-record the screens that changed and regenerate those chapters, or use Pulse. Pulse watches your product and code, finds which articles are now wrong, and drafts the updates with new screenshots and video. Nothing is published until someone on your team approves it.
Vidocu supports 70+ languages for subtitles, voiceover and translated guides, so you can ship the manual in every language your users read.
Yes. Each guide exports as PDF, Word (DOCX), Markdown or HTML. A whole Knowledge Center can also be downloaded as an offline ZIP with its articles, images, videos and search.
On a hosted Knowledge Center at your own vidocu.help address or a custom domain, with AI search built in. You can also push articles to Zendesk, Intercom, Notion, Help Scout, Freshdesk or GitBook.
Yes. Vidocu writes the first draft from what was shown on screen. Your team still checks the details, adds context the recording did not show, and removes steps that are not needed.
