Guidde

Turns a screen recording into a narrated step by step how to video and document

As of 1 September 2026, Guidde has a free plan and paid plans start at $19/month. Guidde captures a workflow once and produces a narrated video plus a step by step guide, with synthetic voiceover so nobody has to record audio. Softwr lists it under Documentation. Guidde is available on Web, Chrome, Windows, macOS.

Overview

What Guidde does

Guidde is a documentation tool for software workflows. A browser extension records a process, and Guidde automatically splits it into steps, writes text for each one, generates a synthetic voiceover and assembles the result into a narrated video and a matching written guide. Both outputs are produced from the same capture, which is the point: documentation and video normally require two separate efforts and drift apart as the software changes. The practical advantage is that removing the need to record audio removes the single largest barrier to how to content actually getting made. People will screen record a workflow. They will not re record their voice five times to fix a stumble, and so the content never ships. Synthetic text to voice, which sits on the Business tier, means the narration can be edited as text, which also makes it maintainable when a button moves. Pricing is published and per creator: Free at zero for up to 25 how to videos with basic recording and sharing, Pro at 29 US dollars a month or 19 billed annually with unlimited videos, watermark removal, brand kit and blurring of sensitive information, Business at 59 monthly or 39 annually for up to five creators adding text to voice generation, PDF and PowerPoint export, analytics and advanced privacy controls, and Enterprise quoted with translation, single sign on, review workflows and PII redaction. Note that Business caps at five creators, so a support or enablement team of eight is pushed to Enterprise and a quoted price, which is the pricing cliff most buyers do not see coming.

What people use it for

  • A customer support team producing how to articles for a help centre that need both a video and a written version without doing the work twice
  • A software company documenting a release where the workflow changed and the old screenshots are now wrong
  • An internal operations team writing standard operating procedures for tools that change often enough that hand written documentation is never current
  • A team where nobody will record voiceover, so synthetic narration is the only way the content gets published at all

The honest half

Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Guidde.

  • The Business tier is capped at five creators, so a support or enablement team of eight is forced to Enterprise and a quoted price, which is a steep and unadvertised cliff between 39 US dollars a creator and an unknown number.
  • Text to voice generation, the feature that removes the audio recording barrier that is the main reason to buy Guidde, is not available on Pro at all and requires the Business tier.
  • The free plan retains the Guidde watermark, so any customer facing use requires at least Pro, and the 25 video free allowance is really an evaluation window rather than a usable tier.
  • Automatic step detection is reliable on conventional web interfaces and degrades on canvas based, drag and drop or heavily dynamic applications, where the generated steps need substantial manual correction.
  • Translation, single sign on, content review workflows and PII redaction are all Enterprise only, which puts any regulated or multilingual organisation into a quoted contract regardless of team size.

Answered, with sources

Questions people ask

Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.

How much does Guidde cost?

Free for up to 25 videos, Pro at 19 US dollars per creator per month billed annually or 29 monthly, Business at 39 annually or 59 monthly for up to five creators, and Enterprise quoted.

Is there a creator limit?

Yes. Business is capped at five creators. Above that you are into Enterprise and a quoted price, which is the main pricing surprise for growing teams.

Do I need to record my voice?

No, and that is the point. Text to voice generation produces the narration, so it can be edited as text later. It requires the Business tier.

Does it work on any application?

It works well on conventional web interfaces. Canvas based, drag and drop and heavily dynamic applications produce step detection that needs manual correction.
