A Comparison of Three Visual Help Authoring Tools
Speaker: Neil PerlinTime: 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM Date: June 25
Track: Content Technologies
Experience level: All levels
The last few years have seen the rise of visual authoring tools like Adobe Captivate that let us create tutorials, simulations, web-based product demos, even eLearning, for marketing, training, and tech support. These tools are easy to learn and use, and cheap (well under $1000). All these tools do the same thing –-- create “movies”—–but they offer different feature sets and design philosophies that may determine which one you choose.
This presentation looks at three tools—market leaders Camtasia and Captivate, and a new entrant named Mimic—to examine how they work and how to choose the best one for you.
