Help & Manual

Help & Manual is a leading technical writing tool and content management system designed to simplify the creation of help files, documentation, and user manuals. What is Help & Manual?

Help & Manual is a standalone authoring tool developed by EC Software. It operates on a single-source publishing model. Writers can create a single master project and automatically compile it into multiple formats, such as HTML Help (CHM), WebHelp, PDF, and e-books. Key Features Single-Source Publishing: Write once, deploy anywhere.

What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG): Visual editing that requires no coding or HTML knowledge.

Multi-Format Export: Generates responsive WebHelp, PDF manuals, Windows CHM files, and EPUBs.

Translation Management: Built-in support for XML-based translation workflows.

Team Collaboration: Multi-user editing features for simultaneous writing. Why Technical Writers Use It Saves Time: Updates apply to all output formats instantly. User-Friendly: Feels familiar to Microsoft Word users.

Highly Customizable: Custom templates allow companies to match their branding.

Robust Media Support: Easily inserts videos, screenshots, and interactive links. If you are currently setting up documentation, let me know:

What formats you need to publish (e.g., PDF, WebHelp, or in-app help)? Who your target audience is?
