STORY: How TechSmith's Morae Can Help Technical Writers

"I just wish I knew what our users were thinking," Matt the software
developer said. "If only I knew where they were looking, or where
they were clicking . . . or gosh darn it, just SOME insight into their
minds!" He put his head down on the conference room table.

"What if there was a way to videotape the user? While simultaneously
recording the user's actions on the computer screen?" Dan the
technical writer ventured.

"Sounds like an interesting concept," Matt said, his voice muffled by
the tabletop.

"And what if you could search the video, based on where the user
clicked, hit a certain key, or viewed specific text?" Dan said.

"That sounds amazing," Matt said, looking up, "though implausible."

"But it's not!" Dan said enthusiastically. "You need to look into
TechSmith's Morae. It's the ONLY all-digital solution for analyzing
human-computer interaction."

"So I'll know what my users are doing?" Matt asked, his voice nearly a
whisper.

"Leave it to a technical writer," Dan said, leaning back in his chair,
"to open up new channels of communication."
