Privacy you don't pay extra for
Personal details are blurred while you capture, on every plan. Nothing is uploaded, so there's no copy on anyone's servers.
One capture, four results
The same click-through gives you a guide, an SOP, a training page and a narrated video that zooms where you clicked.
Guides that guide
Guide me plays a guide on the real website, spotlighting each button, so new people learn by doing.
