AI globalization platform XTM International has launched the XTM Software Recorder, a new capability that enables multilingual software video generation at scale.
Software Recorder brings two of XTM’s core products, Rigi and Video Creation Cloud, together, giving enterprises a way to capture the steps of the recording process once, instead of having to do it separately for every language.
“Most software videos are out of date the moment UI changes ship, and teams simply can’t keep up,” said Rob Finney, CMO of XTM International. “At the same time, the way people consume information is changing fast. Recent data from the Reuters Institute shows that 65% of global consumers now prefer video-based content.”
“With Software Recorder, enterprises can finally break the re-record cycle. You capture a workflow once, and XTM does the rest, creating, regenerating, and localizing videos at the speed of product development.”
The end of the re-record cycle
Software Recorder replaces the traditional re-record cycle with an intelligent UI capture process. It captures mouse activity alongside HTML screens, then automatically replicates that interaction across every localized version of the UI. From there, Video Creation Cloud generates complete videos with localized titles, voice-overs, captions, and subtitles in 100+ languages.
The result is a massive reduction in the total cost of ownership for instructional video. “The simple act of not needing to re-record and edit per language will save at least 60% of your time,” said Wouter Maagdenberg, General Manager, Video Creation Cloud. “For many companies, Software Recorder makes multilingual video production achievable for the first time. For others, it shifts video from a costly and time-consuming effort into a scalable content channel.”
Key capabilities include:
- Voice-guided recording: Instructions from product docs are converted into a voice-guided checklist overlay, ensuring workflows are captured accurately and consistently.
- Capture once, localize everywhere: Mouse activity and UI interactions are recorded once and replayed against localized UIs to produce native-language video fragments automatically.
- Automated video creation: Video Creation Cloud transforms captured workflows into polished videos with effects, captions, subtitles, and AI voiceovers in 100+ languages.
- Effortless maintenance: When the UI changes, teams update only the affected steps. The system regenerates all multilingual versions automatically.
- TMS language consistency: Because Software Recorder integrates with your TMS, central terminology management and translation memories ensure consistent language, tone, and terminology across the UI, the video, and its underlying documentation.
This release brings UI capture, video creation, and translation together into one connected capability, reinforcing XTM’s vision of a single platform where enterprises manage global content across every language and market. The launch follows the recent releases of XTM Agent and Intelligent Post-Editing, continuing XTM’s focus on AI, automation, and faster execution across the global content lifecycle.
Software Recorder is available as part of a combined Rigi and Video Creation Cloud package, with discounts for existing XTM Cloud, Transifex and Rigi customers.
