Indigo Byte Systems has released Dr.Explain v. 3.0, a unique Windows tool that lets web site
designers provide their visitors with documentation that makes it simpler for them to use the
web site. Dr.Explain can read any web page, analyze all of its content, parse all of its
elements, and make it simple for you to quickly document your web site.
Prior to version 3.0, Dr.Explain's mission was to help software developers dramatically
reduce the time needed to produce help files by automatically generating the necessary help
topics for the program's CHM files, HTML help, online manuals, and printable documentation. In
version 3.0, Dr.Explain applies its unique technology to web sites, too.
Dr.Explain can view a web page as it appears in Internet Explorer, even if the page requires
scrolling to fit onto a normal computer screen. The program recognizes each of the web page's
elements, including Flash applications, query strings, images, search boxes, search buttons,
login forms, and menus and submenus. It associates each design element with a numbered box,
and generates corresponding numbered paragraphs to explain each of these design elements.
Simply add text, and the resulting images provide web site visitors with useful documentation
that will explain how to get the most out of your web site.
Dr.Explain continues to support Windows software developers in their efforts to simplify the
creation of documentation. Before Dr.Explain, software developers spent days editing
screenshots and formatting text for their documentation files. Dr.Explain captures screens
from your live application, analyzes them, and creates stunning screenshots that make it easy
for users to understand how the application works.
Similar to its web site documentation regimen, each screenshot contains numbered references
to all Windows buttons, edit fields, options, menus, radio buttons, dropdown lists, toolbars,
trees, and other controls. In addition, Dr.Explain creates a numbered paragraph for each of
these numbered controls. Simply add text to each numbered paragraph, and you'll have
everything that you need for professional help files in CHM or HTML format, as well as RTF
documentation files that can be printed or loaded online.
The new text editor in version 3.0 lets you insert images, tables, lists, predefined
variables, and macros. The new capturing engine makes it easy to grab entire web pages, web
interfaces, Flash, individual buttons in toolbars, and undocked windows and toolbars. You can
even automatically capture sub-windows.
Dr.Explain takes the pain out of creating documentation. By automating the process, the
creation of manuals, user guides, and help files becomes an enjoyable part of developing
software or creating web sites. The savings in time and tedium on a single development project
will pay for the software many times over.
Dr.Explain v. 3.0 runs under Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista. It processes the applications made
with all major Windows and web development environments, including Visual Studio
C/C++/C#/.NET/MFC/WTL/WinForms, Visual BASIC, Delphi, and Clarion. Dr.Explain costs $125(US)
for a single-user Regular License. The single-user Advanced License costs $165(US), and
includes validation and compacting tools, command line support, menu auto-capturing, print
versions of HTML pages, and pop-up tooltips on screenshots. Multi-user discounts are
available. You can download a free trial version from the company's web site -
