All those tedious hours spent reminding people how to use bits on our purchase/Accounts package. A couple of minutes knocking up a Wink tutorial and I could have left them to sort it out themselves, much less stress. Absurdly easy to use, if you have a regular staff turnover in a PC intensive environment just check out this gem you'll start wondering how you ever did without it.

I registered at snapfiles.com just to review this software. The installation was a breeze and the 2 tutorials in the help menu started me off very quickly. This program is well rounded with lots of extra features that are all organized well, so it is not complicated to use. I recommend this to anyone needing to create tutorials. Don't pay a company hundreds of dollars, you CAN do it yourself with this!

Having only discovered Wink recently, 7/15/06, I have put it to use several times already. I used the Help menu, watched the Tutorial 1 and 2, and was easily able to create How To files, resulting in HTML and SWF file formats. I took it one step further and loaded these newly created Flash videos to my company's Apache Web Server, creating help links on our intranet for staff to learn How To ... whatever on their PCs Some of our staff are unaware as to how to: use company email programs; download Windows security updates; run their anti-spyware and anti-virus programs; and defragment and scan disk their PCs. Wink has allowed me to record and present my own company tutorials, assisting the masses with the simple day to day PC tasks. This program is a life saver. Thank goodness for Wink! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND WINK.

A perfect gem for sharing information (i.e. tutorials, advertising, etc.) in a creative, animated manner. The two tutorials provided with the program, which are actually a demonstration of the program itself, plus a detailed manual make it easy to grasp the various functions of this outstanding program. Highly recommended.

I had tried ... and other software for creating software demo and turtorials but I was always disappointed by tough learning curve and poor output. I must say that Wink is by far the most impressive tool because of superior output and ease of use. I downloaded yesterday and prepared a web-based flash presentation in just 30 minutes. The end result was really good. Keep up the good work.

I ran into problems with tutorials that were too long. The tutorial would just freeze. I was able to get around the problems by changing my frame size , but this lead to a lot of rework. The better solution was to just shorten the tutorial and have more of them. I really can't complain, the results are amazing.

I have never used a program like this before. I always wondered how something like this was done. It wasn't to long after I downloaded it I had a flash presentation on my family tree that I sent to my family who are scattered all over, and they were extremely impressed. This is a user friendly app that I would recommend to anyone. The tutorial is one of the best, no, the best I have ever seen. Get it, you'll be surprised!

ALL tutorials for ANY software should be written with this. Ive made my own tutorials with this software for ages now, works exactly as it should. Make a software tutorial for staff, clients and PC challenged relatives(the worst). A keeper.
