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A week later you've got a 40-page document nobody is going to read, and it's already out of date.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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Glitter's manual creator?

Glitter is an AI-powered manual creator that turns one screen recording into a finished user manual. Hit record, walk through the process the way you normally would, and Glitter does the rest: screenshots at every click, your narration transcribed into clean written steps, and the whole thing assembled into a manual you can share, embed, or export. No screenshotting, no typing, no formatting on your end.

How is this different from making a manual in Word or Google Docs?

Building a user manual in Word usually means capturing every screenshot by hand, cropping it, pasting it in, numbering the steps, then rewriting the whole thing when the software updates. Glitter skips all of that. You record once, get a finished manual in minutes, and when the UI shifts you just re-record the affected steps rather than rebuilding the document from scratch.

What kinds of manuals can I create with Glitter?

Pretty much anything software-based: user manuals, operations manuals, instruction manuals, training manuals, employee onboarding manuals, service manuals, SOPs, policy guides. If you can show it on a screen, Glitter can turn it into a manual. There are also ready-made instruction manual templates and operations manual templates if you want a starting point.

Can I export manuals to PDF, Word, or my own knowledge base?

Yes. By default every manual is a shareable web link, so readers do not need to download a PDF. If you do need other formats, you can export to PDF, Word (DOCX), HTML, or Markdown and drop it into your wiki, Confluence, Notion, or LMS. Most teams keep their manuals as live web pages so edits show up instantly, then use PDF or Word exports for compliance binders and offline distribution.

Does the manual creator support multiple languages?

Yes. Glitter transcribes voice narration in 99 languages and can translate a finished manual into any of them with one click. Handy if you support global offices, or if you need a Spanish, French, or German version of a service manual alongside the English original.

Can my team collaborate on manuals together?

Yes. Several teammates can edit the same manual, drop comments on individual steps, and track changes through built-in version control. You can see who edited what and roll back any step you want. That tends to matter for ops, training, and technical writing teams who need an approval pass before a manual goes live.

What happens when the software in my manual changes?

You only re-record the steps that actually changed. Everything else stays put, and the new steps slot back into place. That is a real departure from traditional manuals, where a single UI tweak can mean redoing screenshots and instructions across dozens of pages.

Is the manual creator free?

Yes. The core manual creator is free forever. The free plan covers unlimited recording, AI-generated steps, screenshots, voice-to-text, and shareable web manuals. Paid plans start at $16/month and add unlimited manuals, advanced exports (PDF/Word), team features, and version control. You can build your first manual without a credit card.
