You know that documenting your processes is worthwhile doing.

It allows you to:

  • Squash the time it takes for a new staff member to become productive.
  • Settle arguments on how something should be done.
  • Maximise productivity and minimise mistakes.
  • Increase the value of your business; locking in knowledge.

But we also know that they can take a lot of time to write… or do they?

I’ve been using Scribe with a number of my clients this year and it’s excellent if you want to capture step by step guides for using software systems.

No more taking screenshots and putting them into Word documents. Just start the capture process and perform the task.

The software captures each click / input and a screen grab of where you clicked on the screen. After you have performed your task, you quickly review / edit the document and you’re done.

What should have taken days, to capture over forty guides, was completed in a couple of hours with one of my clients. The sharing function within Scribe has allowed teams I have worked with to quickly create SharePoint training sites and radically change how they capture and share their Standard Operating Procedures.

If you are about to embark on documenting your office systems, I would urge you to take a look at this software and save yourself a whole load of time.
