You know the process. Writing it down takes a week.
Whether it's a user manual for your software, an operations manual for the office, or a service manual for the field team, the moment you sit down to write it the scope explodes.
You screenshot every screen. Crop, paste, number the steps. Re-screenshot when the UI shifts. Halfway through you notice page 14 contradicts page 22.
A week later you've got a 40-page document nobody is going to read, and it's already out of date.
What if your manual wrote itself the first time you did the task?
Glitter records your workflow once and writes the finished document for you, whether that ends up being a product user guide, a training manual, or a full SOP. The same engine powers our tool that builds step-by-step guides, so the steps, screenshots, and formatting are done by the time you stop recording.
A manual that writes itself. Step by step.
Record once. Get a polished manual instantly.
Glitter takes a screenshot at every click and turns your narration into clean written steps, the same engine behind our tutorial maker. What you get back is a full manual: title, intro, numbered steps, screenshots, and formatting, ready to share as a web page or export to PDF or Word. Translate into 99 languages, collaborate with your team, and re-record only the steps that change.

“This software is mind-blowing! After 2+ months, it's an invaluable asset to my company. The transcription quality is out of this world, and the new image editing tools are so fluid and better than [competitor name redacted]. ...you've saved me so much time; I'm elated and highly anticipate subscribing for another year!”

“Glitter is really cool! The step-by-step guide it created was exactly what we needed for our corporate Salesforce setup, which was a literal mess. Just having a video isn't great because it's a nightmare to update all the fields for billing. This tool is saving us so much time!”

“This is amazing! I just used the desktop app to make a quick guide for a Photoshop tool that I can use in my class. It would have taken me at least 30 minutes before and I just did it in about 5 minutes. Thanks for such a great tool!”

“So far, I'm liking Glitter a great deal; it's very intuitive and useful. Our school district has an old method for online help for our student information system. Glitter is a great way to save many, MANY, person-hours of work, and our IT person is excited about it too!”
