The software's Help Screen Capture tool can automatically generate help pages using the images and text from the active application. The software builds complete web pages using the application's forms. With just a few keystrokes, the user can customize which information is captured...In addition to using the Help Screen Capture tool to document new software, the tool can also be used to capture information from legacy software, and incorporate this documentation into the specifications for new software that will be developed. http://www.helpgenerator.com/help_capture.htm

The family of help generation products includes three add-ins that can automatically generate descriptive help pages with titles, screenshots, image maps, and sections for all controls. The three add-ins look at the Visual Studio .NET, Visual Basic 6, or Microsoft Access application files, and build help pages automatically. Whether a computer consultant who is developing applications for his clients, a software development project manager who wants the entire team to use efficient help file generation software, or a systems analyst who is documenting existing systems that need to be replaced, Help Generator has the tools needed.

The Standard Version of Help Generator costs $199(US) for a single user license. Bundled with the Standard Version, add-ins for Visual Studio .NET, Visual Basic 6, or Microsoft Access cost $299 each. The Enterprise version includes the Standard Version plus all three add-ins, and costs $399.
