In spite of its extensive user-support documents, HelpScribble's confusing, hard-to-use interface and work flow could easily scare a beginner away. On the plus side, the program offers a wealth of capabilities for creating any type of help file, including flat RTF manuals, Web-based documents, and full-fledged manuals, both in the WinHelp and HTML Help standards. We also appreciate that HelpScribble gives you tools that greatly facilitate creating a table of contents and index for your manual. However, the evaluation version adds a watermark to files, won't export source documents, and only lets you save your creation in HTML. These limitations reduce its appeal to more experienced users who could at least tough their way through the program's nonintuive interface.

I never got around to truely trying out this product because I could not load up my existing project which was a chm created with Help Workshop. He does offer a utility on his website to decompile WinHelp projects, but how can I convert my 21st century project into a 1990's version? Step into the new millenium.

There are much better programs than this!

Summary
In all honest I can only compare this to the one other previously evaluated help file compiler which is "Help & Manual 3". HelpScribble was not even half the product and seemed to be a piece of software that has all the right options but just seems to be thrown together. On positive note help scribble is half the price of "Help & Manual 3" but half the quality, from that I will let you work out yourself which one to evaluate. P.S. And no I donÂ’t work for the company that produces Â“Help & Manual 3Â”
