Reviewed work

Capture workflow

Spend less time drafting. More time reviewing.

Capture prepares the first draft from your recording. Your team checks the sequence, images, hazards, and local requirements before the instruction is used.

1
Upload video

Use the source you already have.

Phone footage, mounted camera video, screen recordings, and changeover clips can all start the workflow.

2
Generate the draft

Steps, checks, tools, materials, timing.

The system creates structured instructions and pulls visual context from the source footage.

3
Review output

A person decides what is accurate.

Edit wording, add local requirements, remove noise, and approve only what should become official.

4
Export or send for approval

Choose how to use the instruction.

Export an editable DOCX. Add Capture Pro for hosted sharing and QR access, or Control for document review and release.

What Capture produces

A first version your team can actually review.

Instruction structure
