USER INTERFACE LEVEL TUTORIALS
User interface level tutorials can be provided based upon recording as a tutorial a script and/or a video at a user interface level of progression through application-specific actions. Access to the tutorial can be provided based upon detection of an access to an application and/or a difficulty with the application.
1 . A system to provide user interface level tutorials, comprising a processing resource in communication with a non-transitory machine readable medium having instructions executed by the processing resource to implement:
a record engine to record as a tutorial at least one of a script and a video at a user interface level of progression through application-specific actions; and
an access engine to provide access to the tutorial based upon detection of at least one of an access to an application and a difficulty with the application.
2 . The system of claim 1 , comprising a video generation engine to automatically generate a video when a script is completed.
3 . The system of claim 1 , comprising a video generation engine to automatically generate a video at the user interface level upon detection of the difficulty with the application to enable analysis of the difficulty.
4 . The system of claim 1 , comprising a video generation engine to automatically generate a number of videos at the user interface level of execution of a script on a number of different combinations selected from operating systems, browsers, and user interfaces.
5 . The system of claim 1 , comprising a conversion engine in a dedicated cloud service that automatically edits a script to create a video with additional visually displayable steps.
6 . The system of claim 1 , comprising an upload engine linkable to a video hosting service to upload a video tutorial, wherein the uploaded video tutorial is at least one of downloadable and accessible by video streaming.
7 . A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource to:
record progression at a user interface level through application-specific actions; and
insert a call-out to be displayed during replay of the progression as a tutorial, the call-out directed toward an application-specific action that enables progress through the progression.
8 . The medium of claim 7 , wherein the tutorial is linked to a defined action in an application such that when there is a difficulty the tutorial is automatically offered.
9 . The medium of claim 7 , wherein the call-out is linked to a step in a script of the tutorial.
10 . The medium of claim 7 , wherein to insert the call-out comprises to insert a pause in the progression of the tutorial until the application-specific action is performed.
11 . The medium of claim 7 , comprising to record the progression as a script that automatically performs the application-specific actions.
12 . The medium of claim 7 , comprising to record the progression as a script that semi-automatically leads through the progression of the application-specific actions.
13 . The medium of claim 7 , comprising to record the progression as a video that shows the progression at the user interface level through the application-specific actions, wherein to insert the call-out comprises automatically editing the video.
14 . A method for providing user interface level tutorials, comprising:
recording execution of at least one of a number of scripts and a number of videos at a user interface level through application-specific actions, the execution performed with a plurality of different combinations selected from operating systems, browsers, and user interfaces; and
providing selectable access from among the at least one of the number of scripts and the number of videos for use as a tutorial for an application matched to a particular combination of an operating system, a browser, and a user interface.
15 . The method of claim 14 , comprising generating the at least one of the number of scripts and the number of videos by a party selected from:
an entity associated with providing the application to show a specific use case to a user;
a user to share a solution to a difficulty with the application in connection with the particular combination of the operating system, the browser, and the user interface;
a user to show the entity associated with providing the application a difficulty with the application in connection with the particular combination of the operating system, the browser, and the user interface; and
a user to show the entity associated with providing the application how the user is actually using the application.
