EduSelf Multimedia & Tech Pubs specializes in the
preparation and publication of technical manuals, technical
documentation and translation for high-tech, commercial and

EduSelf uses ISO 9002 as its working

interactive technical training and agricultural science courseware
for high schools, colleges, and universities,
EduSelf
today provides complete technical publishing, making the company
a one-stop shopping center for businesses that need technical
documentation in English and other languages.
Our staff has experience producing Setup and Installation
Instructions, Maintenance & Service Guides, Overhaul Manuals,
Illustrated Parts Breakdowns, Disaster / Emergency Preparedness
Manuals, Context-Sensitive Help (online/embedded), training
material, Health, Safety & Environmental manuals (HSE),
and total documentation program management.. We can deliver
your products in Print, digital format, CD-ROM or web formats.
Our professional services include technical writing, illustration,
drafting, graphic design (including animation and simulation),
editorial and quality assurance, and localization (translation)
program management for today's global, high- technology businesses
in the aviation, IT, energy and medical fields. Our technical
writers and translators are engineers or technicians in the
relevant subject.
The technical writing project starts from scratch with a visit
by our technical writing team to the customer's plant. We
collect data from interviews with the customer's engineers,
engineering reports, and drafts. We then prepare an outline
in conjunction with the customer's or end-user's specifications.
The project is now ready for the next succession of steps:
preparation of sample, preparation of the first draft, drawings
and figures, technical quality assurance by another engineer,
delivery of the first draft to the customer for his feedback,
and implementation of the customer's feedback. After the last
updates and changes - if any - are made, the final product
is ready for delivery as hard copy or on digital media.
Mr Hallphone, the President, has over twenty eight years'
experience with high tech government projects. During that
time, we produced over 1.000,000 new pages.
