EpiDOCX is a rapid, automated documentation tool which creates
documentation
and training in five output formats – Microsoft Word (.doc),
Acrobat (.pdf),
PowerPoint (.ppt), Web documents (.html) and XML (.xml –
DocBook Compliant)
using customized templates or our library of templates. It
is a single-user, node-
locked license that is simple and intuitive to use.
EpiDOCX is based on the Epiplex500 capture technology that enables capture
on Mainstream Windows, Java and Green Screen applications including IE
browser based, SAP, Oracle, MATLAB, PeopleSoft, CAD (CATIA, UGNX, etc).
This
can be used to generate Software documentation, user guides, System
procedure guides, training manuals & slides, Sign-off documents and Task ‘cue’
cards.

 Capture: Shadow actions
performed on Mainstream Windows,
Java & Green screen applications –
IE browser based,
SAP, Oracle,
MATLAB, PeopleSoft, CAD (CATIA, UGNX) etc. – convert the sequence of events to
step-by-step instructions
with screenshots.
 Store: Stores author files.
 Develop & Edit: Review, compile, sort
& sequence the files to get the desired
output. Add annotations - callouts
(help bubbles), sticky notes, text and
graphical boxes.
 Publish: Documentation and Training – in
Word, Adobe pdf, PowerPoint, HTML, and
XML formats.
Based on the
extent of detail, there are 3
types of document types – Individual
(each step with snapshot, meant for
beginners),
Consolidated (steps on a
single screen with consolidated image,
meant for advanced users) & High-level
(different
screens visited, meant for
experts who use it for lengthy
procedures).
Technical Documents (Software documentation and Manuals, User guides, System procedure guides, Sign-off documents,
Task ‘cue’ cards)
 Microsoft Word (.doc)
Acrobat Reader (.pdf)
Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt)
XML (.xml) – DocBook Compliant
Web documents (HTML)
(Training manuals, Training slides, Job aids or Task ‘Cue’ cards)
The outputs can be
obtained in 17 languages – English,
Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian,
Dutch, Italian, German, French,
Thai,
Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Bahasa, Hindi,
Kannada, including the right-to-left Arabic and Hebrew scripts.

Capture |
Wide Spectrum of Application capture |
Since EpiDOCX capture is application agnostic, it can be used on
mainstream Windows, Java, Green Screen applications and others
including IE browser based, SAP, Oracle, MATLAB, PeopleSoft, CAD
(CATIA, UGNX, etc). |
|
| Robust and accurate application capture |
This decreases the effort post capture for publication -ready content.
It reduces the turn around time required to develop content. Owing
to the sophisticated Epiplex500 capture technology, menu selections,
mouse movements and events, typing, drop down lists and other
controls are comprehensively captured. |
|
| Template based Sentence description |
Automates the translation of the captured steps into readable step
descriptions (sentences). These sentences are generated through a
sentence template which can be edited or a new template can be
created to suite the organization's standards.
New sentence formats
can be created in different languages as well.
Formatting (Font Name,
Size, etc) of sentences is also applied through
templates. Facilitates the application of a consistent style and format
to all content.
|
|
| Adding Notes |
Enables the Subject Matter Expert to add process information to the content.
|
|
| Aliases |
Some applications to be captured may not support capture of the
names of objects like Text Boxes, Dropdown List Boxes, Check Boxes,
and Buttons etc. or may not have names for some of the objects. The
alias names defined automatically get applied to the objects in all
future
captures on the application.
Increases the accuracy and consistency of step descriptions during a
process capture. |
|
| Securing & Masking texts |
Post capture any field can be marked as secured and the text can be
masked. Once marked as secure, all future captures of that field will be
treated as a secure control. Permits securing of sensitive information
like password fields and Social Security Number in published content. |
|
| Image Masking |
Post capture sensitive information can be masked thereby preventing the flow of information into the published content. |
|
| Develop & Edit |
Annotations |
Rich editing capabilities allow adding annotations like Call outs (Help
Bubbles) and Sticky notes. This assists in providing more information
to the end users at each step level. |
|
Information step |
Provides detailed description of a step or process like images, links to external documents, websites, etc. Allows the developer to include additional information or description to any key step of a process, if required. |
|
Template based outputs |
The document outputs are template based. EpiDOCX provides various templates along with the product installation. Organizations can
develop and publish content in accordance with their corporate
standards, themes and layouts. |
