HelpSmith User Testimonials
“By the way, I looked at about 6 different programs before I purchased your program. If I had to sum your program up in one word it would be "AWESOME". I use a lot of different high end software packages and I normally do not get excited about software but your progam is intuitive and does exactly what I need it to do and it does it well (the best part is I dont have to deal with editing html files).”
— Terry Clarkson, ATC Industries
“Just a quick word to say thanks for a great product. I have found your help editor very easy to use. The user interface is simple and intuitive, yet very powerful. I am loving your software! I wish I had know about this years ago.
I have only been working for a day and yet have almost an entire help system written for my software package, and that time includes the slight learning curve for your product.”
— Karl Sangree, One Zen Tech, LLC
“This tool is wonderful. I am a software engineer consultant and I want to focus on my code. This tool allows me to add professional help & documentation with little effort. Even better you have a single source which to generate all the artifacts which allows for easy maintenance.”
— Stephen Terapak, Terapak Consulting
“I just want to say that you have a brilliant product and I love it. It is powerful, yet simple. You have done a tremendous job with this tool.”
— Luis Contreras, AzTech International, LLC
“I am a technical writer, and I was checking on some products on the Web for documentation and came across this product. My company was kind of skeptical about buying a costly product such as RoboHelp or Flare. When I downloaded the evaluation version of HelpSmith, I was amazed with its features which I never imagined to be part of a lesser known and low-priced authoring tool. I evaluated the tool for half an hour and found it really COOL. We are working on acquiring the license ASAP.”
— Girish KS, eGovernments Foundation
“I have just purchased HelpSmith 3.0 and I am very pleased with all of the features I have used thus far. I was a Robohelp Office user that had to make a change due to the incompatibility with Office 2007. HelpSmith imported my RoboHelp HTML files and started right up. I have yet to find a bug in the editor. The PDF document create works great, which RoboHelp never did. I recommend HelpSmith to any Windows developer.”
— John Maultsby, Constructive Computing
“HelpSmith has been a tremendous product! It has been the easiest yet most robust Help program I have used. I use HelpSmith to create online help files for MS Access databases I write for the company I work for.”
— Buz Hopper, The Harris Products Group
“I was searching Google for a help tool to work on my new employer's project. After trying a numerous of HATs available on the net, my choice is HelpSmith. This tool has the most powerful implementation of styles (working even better than is MS Word!) and extremely fast user interface (what I cannot say about RoboHelp, by the way). And I also like the way it works with images.”
— John Siewert, Tech. Writer
“HS is that kind of software which I always enjoy to work with. I bought Helpsmith when it was a too early version with only one help format supported. And today it's one of the best help file creation tools available on the market. I really love this product.”
— Mike Gartner, Software Developer
“I basically hate documenting, but with HelpSmith I might actually get some produced. I very much like your product. Thanks for the good work.”
— A.Campbell, HelpSmith User
“I've been using HelpSmith for a month for now but still impressed with this help auth. tool. You cannot be a professional tech. writer unless you can't work with stuff like CSS. But with HelpSmith, you can! I've been able to write my first help file (with HS) containing of 120 topics and about 60 images. I'm very pleased with HelpSmith and will be recommending it to my friends.”
— Stephen White, Tech. Writer

— James Robbins, HelpSmith User

— Sieting Morris, Delphi and VBA Developer

“I've been a user of your HDS/HB software for many years and was very pleased to see a modern Vista-compatible product, HelpSmith. All I could say when saw the screenshots and worked with the demo version for the first time was "WOW!". I think HelpSmith is a developer's must have application.”
— Edward Forrest, Software Developer
“I work for a software company and started using your Helpsmith product to create both chm and online tutorials for our app. With Helpsmith I could generate Help in both of the formats in a couple of days. It's really worth the money spent on it.”
— Andy Lysenko, Tech. Writer
“I am a software developer from a micro-ISV company who often has to do a lot of the non-programming jobs. Frankly speaking, I hated documenting (and so do most of the developers in the world, I think :) until I found HelpSmith. HelpSmith's simplicity in usage and especially its dynamic styles feature makes this product a fantastic application in my toolkit.”
— Michael Stevens, Software Developer
“I am a technical writer who is trying out your 30-day demo. For eight years, I used Robohelp at my previous job. After creating some topics and index entries and making links, I am really impressed by HelpSmith's ease of use. It's very intuitive, I really like HelpSmith; it's very well designed, and its cost is much less than Robohelp or Flare.”
— Martha Lance, Tech. Writer
“HelpSmith is the most powerful help authoring tool I've ever used. Dynamic styles is just a terrific feature which saves much of the time I spend on documenting. I also like the possibility to generate C++ headers without having to type all the contexts. Thanks.”
— Stephen Krawec, C++ and C# Developer
“Your product seems very impressive and potentially a home run. I love the way that the web help simulates the chm file with the icons on the menu system. I also like how the printed manual creation has a table of contents. I like your web help and the result is much better than in HelpBreeze (I used before).”
— M.Hanes, HelpSmith User
“Just now I have purchased HelpSmith ver 2. I liked it very much and I bought. It's really good.”
— S.Bhattaram, HelpSmith User

— Rene Murphy, VB/VBA Developer
“I am a freelance ASP.NET and PHP developer and a satisfied user of your product. Creating an online-based WebHelp system that has a TOC and full-text search capability could not be that easy without it.”
