The STC Technical Editing SIG is proud to present Writing and Editing Scripts for Video Tutorials with Tom Johnson. This presentation will explore techniques to make your scripts sound more like natural speech, as well as techniques that voiceover artists often use to make copy sound more natural.

Thanks, Rick!
We're glad you've renewed your Technical Editing SIG membership, Marcia. We look forward to having you with us in 2013.
Hi Anne:
The TE SIG holds quarterly meetings/webinars. You can find out more on the SIG's website: http://stc-techedit.org

Try Jing, they have a free version that I have used for some time and find it's really good. They have both a Mac and a PC version:

It does depend on your processes, who's involved, the broader culture, industry, and so on. Once upon a time I worked in a drug and medical device labelling group; we were part of Quality and had to do the same business improvement/lean/etc. stuff that everyone else did. Processes and procedures got written up, were subject to audit, and there was hell to pay for non-compliance.
Is it necessary to mention the "password" since it's irrelevant? How about: "This feature allows an application to communicate with RWS using a token and an application ID."
@Debbie: Well, that is progress! Please let us know if you receive anymore multiple notifications by posting a discussion or wall post to the My STC Feedback group or the Get Satisfaction via the "Feedback" tab on the side of the screen.
@Rick: Thanks for the reply. I will keep looking into this issue.
I was actually looking at that one, Gillian, because when I went to look for "Writing in the Open," I discovered it is now out of print. And the reviewer on Amazon.com suggested reading "Read Me First" instead. Glad to see another recommendation for it.
