Don't Just Capture One Image At A Time

ScreenSteps is about assembling images into documents, not just capturing single pictures. With ScreenSteps you capture all of the images you need for your document and they are automatically assembled in the order you took them. No more switching between multiple applications. Just capture away. ScreenSteps takes care of organizing everything for you.

Capture, Annotation and Authoring in a Single Package

Most screen capture applications stop after you take a picture. ScreenSteps does much more. With ScreenSteps you can author a complete document without ever having to go to another application such as Microsoft Word or Apple Pages. Image capture, image annotation and document authoring are integrated into single application.

Bloggers Rejoice!

ScreenSteps integrates directly with WordPress, TypePad, Blogger, Joomla and Movable Type. With one click you can publish your complete ScreenSteps document to your own blog. ScreenSteps handles all of the image upload for you.

Cross Platform

ScreenSteps comes with cross-platform support for both Mac and Windows. Purchase one user license and use ScreenSteps on either operating system.

The Ultimate Tech Support Tool

Capture Anyway You Want

ScreenSteps lets you capture and import images any way you would like:

  • Use ScreenSteps’ built-in screen capture tool.
  • Use ScreenSteps’ capture palette.
  • Integrate with third-party screen capture applications by using the clipboard recorder.
  • Drag existing images onto ScreenSteps to automatically import them into your lesson and create new steps.

Integrated Annotations Tools

ScreenSteps helps point out the important parts of your images with simple to use annotation tools.

  • Crop and resize
  • Rectangle and oval
  • Lines and arrows
  • Innovative sequence tool (automatically add numbers to your image)
  • Text annotation tool

Still need something more? No problem. ScreenSteps integrates with any external image editor you have giving you literally limitless annotation possibilities.

Easy Document Management

ScreenSteps auto-saves all your work for you in a lesson library. You don’t have to worry about where to save a lesson, or what to title it. You can easily import and export lesson package files to share them among ScreenSteps libraries.

Complete Customization of HTML or Word Output

Need some specially formatted output? ScreenSteps lets you completely customize the formatting of your Microsoft Word templates. You can also completely customize your HTML templates, making them match your site or even creating specialized XML templates for importing your ScreenSteps content into other systems.

Easy Updates

Tutorials or documentation that is out of date is worthless. ScreenSteps makes it easy for you to update your tutorials without having to start over from scratch. Inline image replacement tools let you update screen captures without having to redo all of the annotations you have added.

What Our Customers Are Saying

I didn’t think I needed “yet another screen capture” application…

What surprised me was that ScreenSteps was completely different

I was able to write documentation in a matter of 10 minutes or less. Normally I’d have to take screenshots then put them in some word-based application. Then format them, and before I knew it 45 minutes had passed. With ScreenSteps it was, and has always been a breeze. If I get a customer who’s confused, I simply rev up my ScreenSteps and in 10 minutes that customer has a clear idea of what to do next.

Sean D'Souza, Pyschotactics.com

Before I used to take screenshots and they would go to my desktop, it was a total mess. Then with ScreenSteps every screenshot was already a step and I could edit the image in any photo editor and save it back to the step. That was huge for me and made the process of writing tutorials much easier and enjoyable.

Fabio Sasso, abduzeedo.com

We had used other capture products.

But with other tools the process from capture to documentation takes quite a few steps. In ScreenSteps we easily move from the capture to documentation to publishing in just a few minutes.

Michael Morrison, Director of Technology Services, Saddleback Valley Unified School District

As a custom web-development shop, we create unique customer-specific applications. At the end of every job, we provide our customers with step-by-step guides on how to use their applications.

Before ScreenSteps we used screen capture programs and put together documents, then saved them as .pdfs for our clients. This was functional but incredibly time consuming. I had to capture or copy the file, then insert or paste it into the document then line it up correctly. ScreenSteps provides a very intuitive interface that allows me to quickly take a screenshot, then it automatically places it in the document and brings me right back to the tutorial I’m working on.

I love the speed at which I can make tutorials, especially for unique situations, such as custom built applications. I also love the way ScreenSteps publishes to blogging platforms like WordPress. That is really helpful for both my personal site, and our business site.

Our clients are always very pleased with the instructions we provide, and because they’re so easy to make, we’re able to build comprehensive tutorials for every project.
