# Generating a Doc

> Automatically transform your video content into written documentation.

Velo allows you to automatically transform video content into written documentation, providing a readable companion for your recordings that captures every UI action and insight.

## Access the Docs interface

Navigate to the top-right corner of the Velo interface, next to the **Video** preview, and select the **Docs** tab. If a document has not been created for the current project yet, the screen will display a "No doc yet" status.

The generated document includes detailed annotations and captions that correspond to specific actions within the video.
