Annovox is a software-enabled service that helps organizations capture frontline expertise and turn real work into clear, practical video training. Subject matter experts record processes using a phone or tablet and guide edits through simple voice annotations. Our team then produces polished training videos within 24 to 48 hours, complete with graphics and multilingual voiceover reviewed by native speakers.
Unlike traditional software, Annovox delivers the result of the work, not just the tool. The software powers the process, but our team handles the production. This solves a common challenge across manufacturing and other frontline industries where critical knowledge often lives with experienced employees, while the tools available to capture and transfer that knowledge are too complex, too time consuming, or too disconnected from how work actually happens. The result is equipment-specific, process-driven training that is easier to create, easier to update, and easier to use where work gets done.
