Online Help

The samples on this page are just a few of the help systems I have worked on, using tools such as RoboHelp, Microsoft HTML Help, Homesite, Dreamweaver, and Doxygen.

Viisage's FaceTOOLS SDK Online Help
Viisage featured the FaceTOOLS SDK documentation on their web page.

FaceTOOLS® Software Developers Kit

FaceTOOLS SDK was an extensive programmer's reference for Viisage's face recognition software. As sole writer and designer for 100+ topics, my challenge was to draw materials from multiple sources (including automated output from C++ and Visual Basic source code) to produce multiple books and online help modules. Due to proprietary information, no sample is available.

Award of Merit from Society of Technical Communcation competition

Centra Conference

Designed for fast web delivery, I created this lightweight online help in an early version of Homesite. Conference Online Help received an STC Award of Merit at the 1999 Electronic Documentation Competition.

Unyte for Skype

Unyte is WebDialog's desktop sharing plug-in for Skype, the peer-to-peer internet calling and chat software. A challenge in this project was to fit the help page into a small window—only 600 pixels wide.

I wrote help topics as active server pages for Centra's online collaboration hosting service. In the January 2001 issue of Intercom magazine, Neil Perlin featured CentraNow Online Help in his article "Technical Communication: The Next Wave.".
