Software for Operating Manuals

Operating manuals must meet demanding requirements. DokuTech.app helps you create structured, standards-oriented manuals with 92 predefined chapters and AI assistance in five system languages. Your team reviews and approves the result.

The Problem: Operating Manuals Without a System

Many machine builders still create operating manuals in Word or InDesign – without standards-specific structure, without centralised management and without automated translation. The result: every manual looks different, safety warnings are forgotten, translations are inconsistent, and when standards change, all documents must be manually revised.

Who Is This Solution For?

Machine builders who need to create operating manuals for the EU market
Technical writers who want to efficiently create standards-oriented documentation
SMEs without a dedicated documentation department who still need professional manuals
Importers who need to translate operating manuals into the destination country's language

92 Standard Chapters as Foundation

The DokuTech.app system template contains 92 standard chapters (16 main and 76 sub-chapters), based on EN ISO 20607 and prepared for the EU Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230. Each chapter contains a predefined AI prompt that helps your writers efficiently compose machine-specific content.

AI-Assisted Translation in 5 System Languages

Create translation suggestions in German, French, Italian, English and Spanish. Editors review, revise and approve each language version before publication.

PDF Export with Corporate Design

Export your operating manuals as professional PDF documents with your corporate design. Configure primary and secondary colours, Google Fonts, font sizes, logos and headers/footers.

Typical Use Cases

Documenting a New Machine Series

A machine builder launches a new series. With DokuTech.app, they create the manual based on 92 standard chapters, add machine-specific content using AI prompts and create translation suggestions in five system languages, which the team reviews and approves.

Migrating Existing Documentation

A company has 50 operating manuals in Word. Via drag & drop, they import the documents into DokuTech.app, assign them to standard chapters and use AI translation to create missing language versions.

Managing Machine Variants

A manufacturer produces a machine in three variants. Common chapters are created as text modules (transclusion) and reused across all three documentations. Changes automatically update all variants.
