Getting started

A browser being recorded as a cursor clicks a crimson button, with a microphone and record dot, transforming into a step-by-step guide.

Itra is a Chrome extension. Recording, transcription, editing, replay and exports run on your computer.

Install Itra from the Chrome Web Store.

  1. On the Itra listing, select Add to Chrome.
  2. Select Add extension when Chrome asks you to confirm.
  3. Pin Itra to the Chrome toolbar so it is ready when you want to start a capture.
  1. Open the page you want to document.

  2. Click the Itra icon and choose New capture. The popup shows a short pre-flight - narration on or off, your mic status, and an optional mic check. Until you have allowed the microphone, Enable microphone opens the page where Chrome asks for it; skipping it still works, captures just won’t have narration.

    The Itra popup, opened on the page to capture: the heading "New capture" above the page's address, a "Transcribe voice during capture" switch turned on, a note that your mic is used only while capturing, a "Test mic" button, a "Watched page variables" row reading "Nothing watched", and a red "Start capture" button.
  3. Hit Start capture. A small box appears in the corner of the page and lists steps live as they’re captured.

  4. Click, type and navigate as you normally would, and say what you’re doing while you do it:

    “First we search for the product we want… then we add it to the basket… now we check out and confirm the order.”

  5. Click Stop on the corner box. The editor opens; your narration is transcribed on the spot by the speech model inside the extension, and appears under the matching steps.

That’s it - you have a guide. Next: edit it, add checks, replay it, or share it.
