How do I turn a screen recording into a video guide?
Record the workflow in Rectodo, choose Explainer Video, and pick a language and narrator. Rectodo writes the script, narrates it, adds captions, and applies your branding.
Turn any screen recording into a video guide and step-by-step docs
Record your screen once. Rectodo narrates a video walkthrough and writes the documentation to match, with every screenshot already in place.
Free plan. No credit card. No extension.
Rectodo is an AI screen recorder that produces two things from one take: a narrated video guide and written documentation with screenshots.
How it works
Three steps, one take
Press record in the browser, choose what Rectodo should build, and send the result wherever your team already looks.
-
Step 1: Record in your browser
Press record. Rectodo captures your screen, plus your mic and camera if you want them. Nothing to install.
-
Step 2: Choose what to generate
Video walkthrough, written documentation, or both. Set the language and pick a narrator.
-
Step 3: Send it
Share a link, push it to Notion, or download the file.
Video guides
Video guides, narrated and captioned for you
Rectodo turns your raw take into a finished walkthrough. It writes a script from what you did, reads the script in the voice you pick, burns in captions, and zooms on the part that matters. You never open a video editor unless you want to.
- Narration in nine languages
- Captions written from the script
- Zoom and highlight on key moments
- Your logo and a closing card
Written documentation
The same take, written down
Some people would rather read. Rectodo numbers each action, drops the matching screenshot underneath, and flags the spots where people get stuck. Readers search it, copy from it, and skip ahead.
Both live on the same page. Your reader picks Video or How-to.
The parts that usually eat an afternoon
Trim, split, zoom, and annotate on a timeline — the editing work you would normally hand to someone else.
-
Editing
Trim, split, zoom, and annotate on a timeline.
-
Redaction
Cover a customer name or an account number before you send anything.
-
Branding
Load your logo and colour once. They carry into everything you make after that.
Made for teams with no technical writer
The same recording covers the people who watch and the people who read, so nobody waits on a doc that was never going to get written.
-
Customer onboarding
New users watch the setup or read it. You only recorded once.
-
Support answers
The reply you just typed becomes a link you reuse.
-
Product demos
Record, brand, send. Same afternoon.
-
Internal SOPs
Get the process out of one person's head.
-
Release notes
Ship the walkthrough alongside the feature.
-
Client handoff
Hand over something they can follow without calling you.

Questions people ask
Do I need to install anything?
No. Rectodo runs in the browser, so there is no extension and no desktop app to get approved.
Can I change what the AI produces?
Yes. Rewrite any line, reorder steps, trim clips, swap the narrator, and blur anything sensitive.
What can I export?
MP4 video, PDF, Markdown, a Notion page, or a share link.
Which languages are supported?
English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Hindi, and Arabic.
How is this different from Loom or a plain screen recorder?
A screen recorder hands you a video file and stops there. Rectodo scripts it, narrates it, captions it, and writes the matching documentation from the same take.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan gives you thirty written guides and ten video guides a month, with no card required.
How much does Rectodo cost?
Rectodo has a free plan at $0, Pro at $19 a month, and Team at $49 a month. Annual billing takes 20 percent off Pro and Team.
Record the thing you keep explaining
One take gives you a video walkthrough and the documentation to go with it.
