PastePost: A Web Interface for Editing Instructions with Captured Images

We introduce an effective web page construction method especially for GUI-based instructions and tutorials. Information about specific software tools and their use is often obtained from web documents, such as blogs and product sites. In addition, instructional web pages for specific software need to be created. The process of creating instructional web pages that include text and captured images involves several steps and is time-consuming because the editor must prepare captured image files and upload them to the server. To quickly and efficiently upload clipboard images to instructional web pages, we propose a method that includes the following functions: (1) uploading captured images using a shortcut key, (2) an instant image editor, and (3) organization of text and images in a WYSIWYG manner. We performed an experiment to assess usability and confirmed that the proposed method improves efficiency
