The WritersUA User Assistance Tools Survey

This Tools Survey is designed to provide our community with a guide to the relative popularity and satisfaction of a number of tools. If you specialize in the area of software user assistance, please take a few moments to contribute. You can answer as much or as little of the survey as you choose. This is the only page.

As always, the results will be publicly posted on this very same web site for your free reference.

There are a lot of tools in the list. We try to be inclusive and represent the "long tail" of usage. However, it can be just a matter of minutes to record your personal usage.  
This survey requires you to enter your name and a valid email address. This is necessary in order to validate the data and avoid unfair voting practices. By default, this information will be deleted as soon as we process the survey responses. If you would like us to use this information to contact you about future surveys and news, select the Opt In checkbox.
