Recently I got a problem with spending too much hours writing docs that describe our workflows, whether it's a how-to guide for a product user or a process walkthrough for a teammate.
And, what made it worse was that starting itself felt like a barrier, you open a blank doc, can't find the words, screenshot one step, write a sentence, get distracted, come back and have to re-orient yourself. So I was looking for a tool that could capture a workflow and convert it into written documentation automatically. Nothing quite fit, so my friend and I built video2docs.
You record your screen - just walk through the workflow like you'd show a colleague, and it breaks the screen recording into structured documentation automatically. Step titles, descriptions, screenshots pulled from the right moments.
The output is pretty accurate itself to use as a solid base, and if you need minor adjustments there's a built-in markdown editor to tweak wording or formatting. Reviewing and refining is much easier then starting from the scratch.
It's free to try, and we're actively looking for feedback, we'd love to hear what you think.
