Description of HelpSmith

HelpSmith is a help authoring tool that you can use to create HTML Help (CHM), Web Help, Printed Manuals, Adobe PDF, MS Word documents, and ePub eBooks from a single source. HelpSmith includes a rich feature set combined with an easy-to-use user interface with a slight learning curve. Among the advanced features available in HelpSmith is the built-in Image Tool that significantly simplifies the way of writing documentation for user interfaces. For example, you can easily capture screenshots, create various annotations for images (balloons, arrows, ellipses, text labels, etc.), add clickable hotspots, and also use control annotations for UI elements that can be exported into the help topic where you can provide a detailed description for each control.

Great product - easy to use and very customizable

I like how it has helped me make my documentation more organized which makes searching through information easier for myself when needed in order of date added or by page number within each document created so far. It's not always super intuitive at times especially if your using some specific formatting options/character sets but once figured out its simple enough as long as there are people around who know exactly what they're doing! Highly recommended!! Making our job descriptions much…

Pros
  • The ability being able search specifically via keywords is also good since sometimes things get changed from time to time
Cons
  • Some disadvantages
