A pop-up will then appear where you will select the documentation category and add a few words about the goal of your guide.
5. Choose a guide category
We offer a variety of categories to choose from. Note that your selection will impact the phrasing of the AI-generated transcript.

7. Select a language
Select a language and click the "Go" button. You'll then see a countdown before the capture starts.
8. Capture steps
In this example, I want to show how to access our Help Center. Guidde’s recording tool will automatically track each step I take to show viewers. Every click will be logged as a step, while the time between steps will not be included in the video.
For my first step that I would like to be logged. I scrolled down and clicked on 'Documentation' in the footer menu.
In my second step on a new URL, I clicked the ‘Getting Started’ section in the Help Center. While recording, Guidde easily captures your movement between tabs.
9. Click the extension to stop, pause, delete, or restart recording
After showcasing all the steps you wish to capture, simply click on the extension to stop the recording.
You can also pause, delete, or restart the recording. Anything that you accidentally clicked can easily be removed during the editing process.
Here's how it looks when you're in viewing mode. Page includes a table of contents, a video player, and a step-by-step document displayed beneath the video.
Please note that a voiceover will be automatically applied to your step-by-step guides. You can easily change the speaker in the editor mode.
