Screensteps review - 2 copies giveaway
It's been more than a year that I write tutorials almost every week. Even though I got used to the process of capturing screenshots and then organize and save them with the right names for the right steps, it was still very time consuming task. Now, I've found a software that really helps the process of writing tutorials.
Screensteps is as the documentation tool for people who don't want to do documentation.
Basically Screensteps allows you to capture the screens directly to a document. Then you can add title, description, and export it in many different ways: PDF, HTML, straight to your blog, or even to Screensteps live blog system.
But it's not just that. You can edit steps, replace and resize images, add sequences of numbers, graphic elements such as rectangles, ellipses, and arrows. Also you can format the text with bold, italic, and different text colors.
However the coolest thing is that you can create templates and export your tutorial the way you want. In my case, I write tutorials for 2 blogs, Abduzeedo and PSDTUTS, so I have 2 templates and just choose the one I will export it. That simple.
Screensteps really helps the process of creating tutorials, although, I think, there are some features missing that would be very important, like add more than one image per a step for example
I highly recommend you to download the demo and check it out. Besides that we have a copy of Screensteps to giveaway, so just leave a comment and next Tuesday we will announce the lucky winner.

This is cool. I am trying to find a quicker way to make my work into tutorials for others.
Cool, thanks for the writeup. Here's my entry as well.
I've been enjoying, inspired and appreciating Abduzeedo over a year now. i really admire all of you working on it to give us the resources, the beauty of applying ideas, dreams, and ambitions through simple yet interesting, mind blowing representation which leads me to thank you all for your latest website theme. really puts me in the mood of creativity everytime i log on here.
Finally from egypt i declare my appreciation and love and respect for all Abduzeedo members.
Loverman. :)
This is a realy cool tool. I hope that I've a chance to win it.
It's would be funny If I were the winner. Thanks for this post.
Good article. I was always looking for something like that.
BTW, your new site design looks a lot better. Thanks
Looks like a huuuge timesaver! I'm going to download the demo right now!
Thanks for the tip and a chance for a copy ;)
This software looks great and would really streamline my workflow when doing helpfiles and manuals!
It sounds awesome! I'm gonna try the demo. Thanks!
i hope...
wow, that speeds it all up a bit! hahah I am a secondary school ICT teacher and have to make tutorials all the time, started out just screenshotting and pasting, Mac does have some great built in tool for this, the cmd+shift+4 is great but this would just knock that on its feet. a great bit of kit, thanks for sharing!
A nice tool to teach!
Oh wow, very nice. Thank you for sharing this!
Wow, I think that it is the best app for tuts :)
I've used SnagIt to take screenshots and annotate accordingly but a program like this that will easily make the process easier and faster would be very welcome. Otherwise, I would have to take the time to take those screenshots and make my own document.
Wow, this could save me a lot of time, I can't wait to try this out!
That's a new one on me, looks good.
=D This looks like a sweet application.
nice nice

Doing lots of docs/tutes at the moment and this looks perfect.
That sounds like an awesome program. Would solve so many problems I have when making tutorials and such.
Very useful!
OHHH ME LIKEY! I would love a copy of this! Thanks for all the great posts! (by the way your tutorials are amazing so this software must work nicely! lol)
looks really interesting. will have a look into it! thx for the tip..
Very interesting product. I am excited to see how it progresses.
That's snazzy. I don't write tutorials often, but still snazzy.
That would be so helpful haha I didn't know such a thing existed.
I would like a copy :P
Never heard of it before. Looks great! Please enter my name into the hat. Thanks;
I'd love a copy! Thanks for the heads up. Creating the files manually is soooo time consuming!
Awesome! Not only is this great for getting tutorials out there quick and easy, but its a great way to create a library of tutorials, which is beneficial to yourself! Imagine your own personal library of tutorials. With the ability to tag and search, you'll never need to go hunting for that reference again, its all right there in one place! SOLD!
Thank you, Abduzeedo
that is very cool
Screen capping, editing and filing all in one slick app? Thanks! No more screencap renaming craziness! Awesome find man!
Thanks for useful tip, I hope I'll be lucky to have one :)
This would help me finally make a tutorial.

Very awesome software!
I'll try to use it to do some illustrator tutorials to put in my blog .
I hope I'll be lucky. And I thank you for everything. :-)
Looks very promising — I gonna download and give it a try. Hopefully I can get the giveaway copy ...
Thanks for posting about this app! It's just what I need, and I had no idea that an app like Screensteps existed. Even if I don't win, it's going on my wishlist :)

The screenshots look awesome!
Downloading the demo now
Sounds great!
That's cool. I am just about to start writing my first tutorial and this could really help.
Keep up the good work Fabio.
Sounds great!
I've done the odd tutorial over the years and have a folder filled with 100s, if not 1000s of images with weird, random names that probably meant something at the time but don't now. Something like ScreenSteps would be amazing. I didn't even know it existed. Here's hoping!
I love this site and all the giveaways. Abduzeedo, you are amazing.
as a student looking to start to share some of my new found knowledge in the form of some tutorials, I would love this app. i may just by it even if i dont win. i'll have to see i f i can squeeze it into the budget. :)
Cheers,
Zach
