Do the task once
Start the Captcher recorder in Chrome and work through the task in your own web app. It captures every screen and every click as you go.
Open beta: free, no credit card
For L&D teams, customer education and subject-matter experts
Interactive software training your team can actually practice.
Captcher is interactive training software for web apps. One run-through is the training: record a task once, and Captcher's AI turns it into a walkthrough. Learners watch it, then practice it themselves on a safe copy of the real screens.
Records in Chrome. Exports to SCORM, embeds anywhere.

How it works
From one clean run-through to finished training.
No video editing, no slide builder and no front-end work. Just do the task the way you'd show a colleague.

AI writes the lesson
Captcher turns the raw recording into clear, numbered steps with instructions and hints. You review it, adjust anything you like, and publish.

Put it where learners are
Send a link, drop a SCORM package into your LMS, embed it in your help center, or download a standalone file that plays offline.
Works with apps you sign into, single-page apps and tasks that open a new tab. What the recorder can and can't capture.
Two modes, one recording
Watch it. Then do it.
Every walkthrough plays two ways. Learners move from watching to doing without anyone building a second version. Play an example walkthrough to try both.

A guided demonstration
The walkthrough plays itself on the captured screens, step by step, with each click highlighted and explained.
You try
Hands-on practice
Learners click, choose and type for themselves. Captcher gives a hint when they're stuck and confirms each step they get right.
Nothing touches your live app No real data is changed Practice as often as you like
Features
Everything after “stop recording” is handled.
AI authoring and AI edits
The AI drafts the whole walkthrough from your recording. Later, you can ask it for changes in plain words, such as “make step 4 shorter” or “add a tip about approvals”.
Safe practice
Learners work on frozen copies of the real screens. It looks exactly like your app, but it never connects to it.
Visual editor and history
Reword a step, move a highlight or reorder the flow. Every change is versioned, so you can always roll back.
Your brand
Save brand profiles with your colors, fonts and logo so the player looks like part of your company.
SCORM and offline export
Download a SCORM 1.2 or 2004 package for your LMS, or a single HTML file that plays with no internet connection. Check which SCORM format your LMS needs.
Embed it, or add in-app Help
Paste one snippet to embed a walkthrough on any page. You can also add a Help button to your own product that opens just the part of the screen the learner needs.
One link
Every walkthrough has a hosted player link. Learners open it and start, with nothing to install.
Use cases
Built for the people who teach software.
Captcher is for teams that train people on web apps used in a browser. It doesn't record desktop or mobile apps, so if that's your software, it isn't a fit yet.
L&D and corporate training
Train your people on the tools they use every day.
Your subject-matter experts already know the steps. Captcher lets them turn that knowledge into realistic practice for your CRM, ERP or HR system without an instructional design team.
- Ready for your LMS. SCORM 1.2 and 2004 packages, including for air-gapped systems. See which format your LMS needs.
- Practice without risk. New hires learn on a copy, not in production.
- Quick to update. When the software changes, record the task again or edit the steps.

Customer education and onboarding
Show customers how to use your product inside your product.
Replace screenshot-and-arrow articles with walkthroughs customers can try. Put them in your help center, your onboarding emails, or right inside your app.
- Embed anywhere. One snippet for docs, help centers and academies.
- In-app Help. Open just the part of the screen the customer needs.
- On brand. The player uses your colors and logo, not ours.

Questions, answered.
What exactly does Captcher make?
An interactive walkthrough of a task in a web app. It's built from real captured screens, so it looks exactly like your software. Learners can watch it (Show me) or do it themselves (You try).
Do learners touch our live application?
No. The walkthrough runs on frozen copies of the pages you captured. Learners can click, select and type, but nothing reaches your real system and no real data changes.
What do I need to record?
Google Chrome and the Captcher recorder extension. Sign in, start recording, do the task once, and upload. Captcher can record most web-based applications.
Can I record an app that needs a sign-in?
Yes. The recorder works in your own Chrome, so you sign in to your app as usual and record. Password, one-time-code and card fields are blanked before anything is captured, and the screenshot is skipped when one is on screen. It can't spot every secret in ordinary text, so record with a test account and sample data where you can.
Will it handle a complex app with pop-ups and screens that change without reloading?
Usually, yes. Each step is captured as a copy of the page, and the recorder takes a new one when a pop-up opens, a panel slides in or the screen updates, including in single-page apps. Drag and drop works too. Where it struggles: busy pages that update on their own, like live dashboards, can capture too often (turn auto-capture off there), and small changes can be missed (use the Capture step button). Content inside an embedded frame from another site isn't recorded.
Can one recording cover several pages or tabs?
Yes. The recording follows you from page to page, and into any new tab the task opens from the tab you started in, so the whole task becomes one walkthrough. Tabs you open separately aren't included.
Does it work with our LMS?
Captcher exports SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 packages, which most learning management systems accept. See the format and settings for your LMS. You can also export a standalone HTML file that plays fully offline.
What happens when our software changes?
Edit the affected steps in the visual editor, ask the AI to revise them, or record the task again. It takes minutes, not a production cycle. Version history keeps every earlier edition.
Can the player match our brand?
Yes. Brand profiles set the player's colors, fonts and logo for hosted links, embeds and exports. The captured screens always stay exactly as your app looks.
How much does it cost?
Free through the open beta, with no credit card. Paid plans will come later. Before they do, we'll tell beta accounts what they cost and give you notice. We will never charge you or move you onto a paid plan automatically; you choose. The beta terms say the same.
How is Captcher different from Scribe, Tango or Guidde?
Two things. In You try, learners do the whole task themselves (click, choose and type) on a frozen copy of your screens, with hints when they're stuck. And SCORM 1.2 and 2004 export is included now, not held for an enterprise plan. See the full comparison, including where the others are a better fit.
Is a beta safe to build real training on?
Captcher is still in active development, so expect rough edges. Your exports don't depend on it, though: a SCORM package or standalone HTML file keeps playing in your LMS or offline, without Captcher. Hosted links and embeds do need Captcher running, so export the walkthroughs that matter and keep those copies. If the beta ever ends, we'll give notice and time to export first wherever we can.

Open beta
Your next training module is one run-through away.
Captcher is free during the open beta. It's still in active development, so some features are unfinished and we'd love your feedback. Wondering how it stacks up? Compare Captcher with Scribe, Tango and Guidde.
