The task takes five minutes. Writing the instruction takes an afternoon.

The person who does the task best has no time to write it down. Every step needs a screenshot, a crop and an arrow. Then the software changes and the pictures are wrong.

So the new person learns by watching, and the task gets done three different ways.

What if the work instruction wrote itself while you did the task?

Most work instruction software is a template and a folder. Glitter writes the instruction. Do the task once on screen, narrating as you go, and you get a finished work instruction with numbered steps, a screenshot at every click and the wording already drafted. It captures the small things an expert does without thinking, which are exactly the things a template never asks for.

Work instructions sit one level below procedures. When you need the procedure itself, with roles and scope, use our SOP software. When you are documenting how a whole process runs across a team, start from process documentation software. For the writing conventions, see our guides to standard work instructions and work instruction examples.

One recording becomes a complete work instruction.

Do the task once. Hand the instruction to your team.

Glitter records your clicks and your voice. The AI writes the instruction: title, numbered steps, screenshots. Share a link, embed it, or export to PDF or Word. When a step changes, re-record that step only.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is work instruction software?

Work instruction software helps you create and maintain the step-by-step instructions for one task, so every person does it the same way. Most tools hand you a template and a place to store the result, and you still write every step and take every picture. Glitter writes the instruction for you. Do the task once on screen, and it produces numbered steps with a screenshot at every click.

How does Glitter create a work instruction automatically?

Glitter records your screen, your clicks and your voice while you perform the task. Each click captures a screenshot. Your narration becomes the step text. The AI organizes it into a work instruction with a title, numbered steps and annotated images. You can also upload an existing recording and get the same result.

What are digital work instructions?

Digital work instructions are work instructions delivered on a screen instead of paper: a live link, a knowledge base page or an LMS embed. They stay current because you update one source and everyone sees the change. Glitter publishes every work instruction as a live link and keeps a version history.

What is the difference between a work instruction and an SOP?

An SOP describes a whole procedure and who is responsible for it. A work instruction describes exactly how to do one task inside that procedure. Glitter builds both from the same kind of recording. For the procedure level, see our SOP software page.

How do I update a work instruction when the tool or the process changes?

Re-record only the steps that changed. Glitter replaces those steps and their screenshots and keeps the rest. Every version is kept, so an auditor can see what changed and when.

What formats can I share work instructions in?

Share a live web link, embed it in a knowledge base or LMS, or export to PDF, Word or Markdown. Translate into any of 99 languages with one click.

Is Glitter free?

The core builder is free. Record a task, get the work instruction, share the link. Paid plans add team features, longer recordings, branding and more.
