Your questions answered about the BugHerd annotation tool and the annotation process.

What’s an annotation tool?
There are a number of different types of annotation tools available.  Some annotation tools, such as BugHerd, are designed to enable a user to provide feedback on a website or online document.  They offer a simple way to give and collect feedback during a design or web development project.

With other types of annotation tools users can label or tag data, making it usable for various applications, particularly in machine learning.  These tools enable users to add metadata to raw data, such as marking objects in images, transcribing speech in audio files, or tagging parts of text.  

Below is an overview of the different types of annotation tools available.  Which annotation tool you use depends on your objective and the type of file formats you require annotated.

  • Website Feedback Tools
  • Bug Tracking and Reporting Tools
  • Image Annotation Tools
  • Text Annotation Tools
  • Audio Annotation Tools
  • Video Annotation Tools
  • Cross-Modal Annotation Tools
  • Data annotation tools
  • Computer vision annotation tools
How does BugHerd help with the review loop?
BugHerd is a specialized feedback tool designed to record and track feedback from websites, PDFs, images, Figma files, designs, and other documents.

BugHerd can be used during website and software development projects and well as design and content creation projects, to help you, your team and your clients share feedback.  It can also be used for quality control and user acceptance testing stages of a website development project, and it's great for collecting feedback on an ongoing basis post-launch.

What makes BugHerd different from other annotation software?
  • BugHerd stands out with its unique point, click and pin visual feedback system.  It provides simple and intuitive annotation features and an easy way for users to highlight and report issues directly on a page; speeding up the annotation process and reducing communication gaps between teams and stakeholders.
feedback on pdf and images
  • BugHerd is simpler to use than most other markup tools. Users can get up and running quickly and start annotating on a live website or document using virtual sticky notes which they pin directly on the element that needs to change.  No other website annotation tools offer that function.
hero image of BugHerd's feedback experience
  • Due to its versatility, BugHerd is also known as an image annotation tool because it's used extensively to provide feedback on images as well as other static files.
image of the feedback on deliverables feature
  • BugHerd's in-built Kanban task board is a great differentiator as you're able to manage all your annotations from the one location, using the one tool.

Can I use BugHerd to annotate a video?
BugHerd is not a video annotation tool as such. There are two main types of video feedback tools on the market which do different things:
  • Video review software applications enable users to provide feedback on videos. This type of video proofing software is commonly used during video production and enables you to iterate on video projects and collaborate with stakeholders.
  • Video annotation tools such as BugHerd enable the user to provide feedback via video on multiple types of files (eg. website, PDFs, images, Figma, and other documents), which greatly assists when the feedback is not straightforward and there are multi-step interactions.
Can I use BugHerd as a data annotation tool?
If you're looking for the best data annotation tool on the market, there are many options other than BugHerd to choose from.  A data annotation tool, or a computer vision annotation tool, is software specifically designed to help label or tag data, which is essential for training machine learning models. These tools enable users to add meaningful information to raw data, such as identifying objects in images, transcribing speech in audio files, or tagging parts of text.

BugHerd, on the other hand, is focused on the facilitation of easy annotations as well as the collection of feedback relating to websites and deliverables such as PDFs, Figma files, images, designs, etc.   In contrast, data annotation tools and computer vision annotation tools focus on labeling data for training machine learning models.  
Do I need to install anything to use BugHerd?
There are two ways to set BugHerd up to get feedback on a website. You can embed a JavaScript snippet into the “head” of your website or you can install a browser extension to your preferred browser.

What level of support does BugHerd provide?
BugHerd offers various support options, including email support, in-product help documentation, and video guides. Deluxe and Enterprise plans also include priority support for quicker issue resolution.
