A few months ago I read some colleagues recommending a tool for building program Help systems. They were talking about a product called “Dr Explain”. At the time, I was deeply involved in building some software, but did stop and do some investigation of Dr Explain. I did not give it much time then and continued on with my project.
Now my project is close to finished, I need to build some specific help system for my clients. I would like to go on-site and deliver some training sessions, but they are thousands of miles away.
Something reminded me of Dr Explain, so I researched it again.
This time I put some more effort into seeing what it was all about.
This time I was very impressed and and found that it was at Version 2 and had a heap of new features.
I am now using it with much success. It saves me significant time over the antiquated professional “help” development software that I have been using for about 7 years.
If you are charged with the task of building documentation for software, then you owe it to yourself to take a peek here.
Download a free working copy here. The free download is suitable for building small help systems. You can then purchase and register your working copy for larger projects. Tell ‘em I sent you!
