Turn Your Experts' Software Know-How Into Training Tutorials

The people who know your tools best rarely make training videos. Trainn turns their screen recordings into tutorials new team members can follow.

The problem

Let Experts Teach Without Doing Production Work

Teams know their people need more skills than current training delivers. LinkedIn's 2025 Workplace Learning Report found nearly half of learning and talent professionals say employees lack the skills needed to carry out business strategy.

For software workflows, the gap is rarely knowledge. The operations lead who configured the CRM and the analyst who built the reporting workflow know exactly how it works. What they lack is a way to share it without recording themselves, writing a script, and learning a video editor. Reviewers describe valuing tools that turn existing material into video without recording themselves or doing complicated editing.

That is the skills gap: the subject-matter expert can teach the workflow, and the production work stops them from doing it.

The Solution

Trainn Turns an Expert's Software Know-How Into a Training Tutorial

Trainn's AI video agent turns a subject-matter expert's screen recording into a narrated, step-by-step training tutorial. The expert performs the software task once while recording. Trainn adds the narration and splits the task into steps. With Trainn's tutorial video creator, the expert's knowledge becomes reusable training without waiting in a learning and development production queue.

The features

Three Trainn Features That Help You Create Employee Software Training Tutorials

  • Record a Video

    The expert completes the task as usual while Trainn records. Trainn writes the narration, groups clicks into steps, and adds zooms, returning a finished tutorial. The expert's real clicks become the lesson, so the tutorial reflects how the work is actually done.

  • Generate AI Voiceover

    Experts who dislike narrating do not have to. Trainn writes the script from the on-screen actions and voices it. The script can be edited like a document afterward, and the narration regenerates.

  • Turn Video into a Guide

    Turn Video into a Guide

    Create a written step-by-step guide from the same tutorial for employees who want a quick reference instead of a video. Guides export as PDF or Markdown for internal wikis.

“We only have 15 people on our multimedia team, and we support over 200 technical writers who are writing thousands of doc pages.”
Macy Douglas
Senior Manager, Multimedia, ServiceNow

ServiceNow tripled its procedural video output by letting more than 200 technical writers create videos themselves. Trainn gave the writers finished output from their own recordings, so subject-matter experts no longer waited on a small multimedia team.

FAQ

What are video tutorials for employee software training?

They are short recorded walkthroughs that teach employees how to complete tasks in the software they use at work, such as a CRM, a billing system, or an internal tool. A tutorial video for employees follows the same principles as one for customers: one task, shown step by step.

Do subject-matter experts need video skills to create them?

No. Trainn produces narration, zooms, and steps from the expert's screen recording. Read more about how Trainn helps you create training videos.

How is this different from Colossyan?

Colossyan creates avatar-presented training videos from scripts and documents, which suits policy and soft-skills training. Trainn is an AI-powered product video and guide creation platform. It builds tutorials from a real screen recording of the software, so employees see the actual workflow they will use. For employee software training, Trainn is the better fit because the tutorial shows the real software, step by step, recorded by the expert who uses it.

Can I give employees a written version too?

Yes. Turn Video into a Guide creates a step-by-step guide from the same tutorial. The same applies to customer-facing software walkthrough tutorials.

Can I keep tutorials current when our internal tools change?

Yes. Replace the outdated clip in the Clip-by-clip editor and regenerate its narration, instead of recording the whole tutorial again. Product teams keep product onboarding tutorials current the same way.

Can I hide sensitive data in internal systems?

Yes. Blur a Spot hides names, figures, and login fields in any part of a clip.

How much does Trainn cost for employee software training tutorials?

Trainn starts at $19 per month with the Creator plan, which includes a 3-day free trial. Creator gives one subject-matter expert AI video and guide generation, AI voiceovers, and link sharing for up to 15 software tutorials and guides.
