+# Describo Desktop User Guide
+
+Hi :wave:,
+
+If you're here then you've installed Describo (or are about to!) and are ready to start using it.
+
+You have some data that you want to describe and you've heard that RO-Crate is the way to do it.
+Whether you are creating a research dataset for publication or just want to leave some metadata in a
+folder for later, Describo will help you. If you have digitised content (images and documents) you
+have access to tools to help you transcribe it and recognise / mark up the entities you find.
+Likewise, the Describo assistant can help you to easily uncover what's in your data.
+
+Read on to find out more about the components of the application; find out what each does and
+understand when and why you would use them.
