One of the most common questions heard on many forums is “What tool do you use for [purpose]?” Answers vary, of course, because everyone has their own favorites and some folks will even answer that the right tool is “the one that best meets your needs”.

Sometimes, many people will answer that you need to look at the different tools, download trial versions, and test. But where is the list of tools to choose from?

It’s here at TechComm Toolbox, your online resource for all applications, services, consultantsm, and trainers related to technical communication.

JUST ADDED: If you are unemployed for whatever reason, send us an email and we’ll add you to the category Looking for Work. Send an email to information AT techcommtoolbox DOT com with any questions or comments. You can add links to your own website, your LinkedIn profile, your email address, or whatever makes it easy for employers to find you. (And let us know when you find a job so that we can clear your entry!)

Want to jump right in?

  • Type a word or phrase in the Search field (to the right). If the text exists anywhere on the site, it will show up in the Search results. This option is best when you know the name of the application or are looking for specific text within descriptions.
  • Use Categories to see a list of the current groupings that are in use. For example, maybe you need an authoring tool or want to see a list of applications related to analysis. Once the categories are displayed, click the one you want. The left side of the screen lists all entries related to the selected category.
  • Use Alphabetical if you want to select entries based on an initial cap. For example, “Char James-Tanny” is listed under C (first initial) and J (first initial of both her last name and her company name).

If you see a star graphic (enhanced listing available) in an entry, it means that an enhanced blurb is available. 

If you have used the product (application, service, consulting, or training), you can leave a comment to share your opinion with others. (Comments used for marketing information will be deleted.)
