What is Vidocu?
Vidocu is an AI documentation tool that converts screen recordings and videos into structured documentation without requiring manual writing.
Users upload an existing video recording and Vidocu generates a step-by-step help article with auto-generated screenshots, AI-generated subtitles in over 100 languages, and an optional AI voiceover that replaces or supplements the original narration.
The output includes both a polished video with subtitles and zoom effects and a structured written documentation article, delivered simultaneously from a single upload.
The platform targets technical writers, customer success teams, and operations teams that produce process documentation, standard operating procedures, and software tutorials.
Organizations that rely on screen recordings for internal training or customer onboarding can use Vidocu to automatically convert those recordings into documentation that is searchable, structured, and formatted for a knowledge base.
The time savings come from eliminating the manual process of watching recordings, writing step-by-step instructions, and taking screenshots.
Vidocu's approach differs from tools that require a browser extension or proprietary recording software. Users simply upload any existing video file, and Vidocu processes it to produce documentation.
This upload-first approach means teams can convert a library of existing recordings into documentation retroactively, not just recordings made through the Vidocu platform going forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of documentation does Vidocu generate from a video?
Vidocu generates both a polished video output with subtitles, zoom effects, and optional AI voiceover, and a written step-by-step documentation article with auto-generated screenshots from the video content. Both outputs are produced from the same uploaded video, giving teams a polished video tutorial and a structured written help article simultaneously without separate production steps.
Do I need a special recording tool or browser extension to use Vidocu?
No. Vidocu works with any video file you upload, regardless of what recording tool was used to create it. You do not need to install a browser extension or record through the Vidocu platform. This means you can convert existing screen recordings from Loom, OBS, QuickTime, or any other recording tool into documentation without changing your recording workflow.
Does Vidocu support multilingual documentation output?
Yes. Vidocu generates AI subtitles in over 100 languages from the uploaded video content. This allows teams to produce documentation that is accessible to global team members or customers without separate translation workflows. The AI subtitle generation runs as part of the standard processing pipeline rather than as an add-on step.
How much does Vidocu cost and is there a free plan?
Vidocu offers a permanent free tier that is not time-limited, allowing teams to evaluate output quality without a subscription. The free plan exports include a small Vidocu watermark. Paid plans start at $29 per month and include all output types with watermark removal. Business and Enterprise plans add custom branding watermarks. Pricing was scheduled to increase in May 2026.
What is the best use case for Vidocu in a documentation team workflow?
Vidocu provides the clearest value for teams with existing libraries of screen recordings that have not been converted to searchable documentation because the manual conversion process is too time-consuming. Uploading a backlog of recordings and generating structured documentation articles from each one dramatically reduces the time to build a complete knowledge base. For new recordings, Vidocu fits into any workflow since it accepts any video file format rather than requiring proprietary recording software.
