Benefits of Video to Manual Conversion
Turn screen recordings into professional documentation without typing a single word. Upload your training video and the AI automatically generates step-by-step instructions, extracts screenshots at key moments, and organizes everything into a readable user manual.
Perfect for software tutorials, product walkthroughs, and onboarding guides. Create comprehensive documentation in minutes instead of hours spent writing and formatting. Update manuals effortlessly by recording new videos when your product changes.
Share manuals as searchable PDFs, web pages, or knowledge base articles. Your team and customers find answers faster with visual step-by-step guides instead of watching entire videos.
How the Manual Maker Works
Record your screen while demonstrating a process or upload an existing training video. The manual maker transcribes your narration, identifying action words and procedural steps automatically.
The AI analyzes the video timeline and extracts screenshots when you perform important actions—button clicks, menu selections, form fills. These images pair with transcribed instructions to create visual how-to guides.
Review the generated manual and edit text or reorder steps as needed. Add your branding, customize formatting, and export as PDF or publish directly to your help center. Updates sync automatically when you upload revised videos.
Who Needs a Manual Maker
Software companies convert product demo videos into searchable user guides. New customers read step-by-step instructions instead of rewatching 20-minute walkthrough videos to find one feature.
Training teams transform internal process videos into onboarding documentation. New employees reference illustrated manuals instead of asking colleagues to re-explain procedures or hunt through video libraries.
Technical writers draft initial documentation by recording their screen instead of writing from scratch. The AI generates first drafts that writers refine, cutting documentation time in half.
Support teams create quick-reference guides from screen recordings of customer issues. Turn “how did we solve this?” videos into permanent knowledge base articles that reduce repeat tickets.
FAQ
What video formats work with the manual maker?
The online manual maker accepts MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM, and most common video formats. Upload screen recordings from any tool—Loom, Camtasia, OBS, or built-in screen recorders.
How does the AI generate manual instructions?
The manual maker transcribes your video narration and identifies procedural language (“click,” “select,” “enter”). It pairs these instructions with automatically extracted screenshots to create step-by-step guides.
Can I edit the generated user manual?
Yes. Review and edit all text, reorder steps, add custom sections, or remove auto-generated content. The manual maker provides a first draft that you refine to match your documentation standards.
Does the manual maker extract screenshots automatically?
Yes. The AI detects significant UI changes and user actions (mouse clicks, keyboard input) to capture relevant screenshots. Adjust timing or manually select additional frames if needed.
Can I create manuals from audio-only files?
Yes. Upload audio recordings of process descriptions and the manual maker generates text instructions. However, you’ll need to add screenshots or diagrams manually since audio files don’t contain visual information.
What output formats does the manual maker support?
Export as PDF, Word document, HTML web page, or markdown. Publish directly to knowledge base platforms like GitBook, Confluence, or Help Scout.
Can the user manual maker handle multiple languages?
Yes. The AI transcribes and generates manuals in over 50 languages. Upload videos with narration in Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, or other languages for automatic documentation.
How accurate are AI-generated manuals?
The manual maker produces 85-95% ready documentation for clear screen recordings with good narration. Accuracy improves when you verbalize every action while recording. Review and refine output before publishing.
