You dictate using your computer or a portable dictaphone or notetaker and send your recordings to your typist or assistant by email, FTP or over your computer network.

~ Record to wav, mp3 or dct formats (only dct supports encryption, sender information and notes).

~ Attach additional files to the recordings or type in notes for your typist or for the record.
~ Ability to recover sent dictations.
~ View "Sent Work Progress" and backup sent dictations to hard drive or CD.

The table of contents, which is a hierarchy of topics in the order how the help author placed them. The index, which is a list of keywords that the help author associated with certain topics. And a common "key phrase" search, which is based on consequent scanning of all topics.
You can customize the user interface of Help Explorer Viewer as your needs dictate: you can create and hide windows, configure the toolbar and the main menu and dynamically redirect demonstrations of pages.
