Sylvador specializes in high quality technical and educational documentation in a variety of fields. We can produce everything from a user guide to a complete documentation system for your company.

With over 35 years of experience in electronics, education and writing we have the talent to do the best job in the industry. We are masters at making the complex appear simple and providing easy to read, properly organized documents designed perfectly for your target audience. We can write effectively for anyone from young children to seasoned engineers, in Canadian, American or British English.

Sylvador has successfully served several clients without the need for on-site visits. Particularly where small devices are involved, email communication and sending samples by courier are usually all that's required. You save the considerable cost of travel time and expenses, and our wide background experience minimises the impact on your engineering staff.

If you are in the Montreal, Laval, Laurentian or Ottawa area, occasional on-site visits can be arranged if required. Please note, however, that all documentation work will be done at our office.

If your requirements include solid quality in an effective, professional presentation, drop us a line at the address below.

Samples

1. We see the product through the client's eyes, not those of the design engineer. We don't assume that anything is "obvious"; our instructions are clear and can be followed by any qualified person.
2. All manuals are written using a template, which guarantees consistency within a series of documents.
3. All manuals use numbered sections for easy reference, and each chapter includes clear statements of the contents, goals, and intended audience.
4. We use clear, simplified, line drawings to emphasize salient points and reduce confusion.
5. You can read our manuals without confusion. They are designed like a good book, with a carefully planned sequence of chapters, while numerous cross references and an index and table of contents make lookups easy.
