Scribe
Step-by-step guides captured automatically as you work
What is Scribe?
Scribe records a process as someone carries it out and turns it into a step-by-step guide with a screenshot and instruction for each action. Guides can be shared by link, embedded in other tools, exported or replayed as on-screen walkthroughs, and its Autocapture feature drafts documentation from work already done without pressing record. It runs as a Chrome or Edge extension, with Mac and Windows desktop apps on paid plans.
Scribe has a free plan. Paid plans start at $13 per seat / month, billed yearly (Pro Team, 5-seat minimum). See every plan
Good for
- Writing SOPs and how-to guides without taking screenshots by hand
- Training new hires on web-based software
- Solo consultants documenting processes for clients
Worth knowing
- The free Basic plan captures web apps only; the Mac and Windows desktop apps are a Pro and Enterprise feature.
- Basic leaves out unlimited guide creation, exports, custom branding and redaction; the pricing page does not state the guide limit.
- Pro Team starts at 5 seats, and every member of a team has to be on the same plan.
- SSO, SCIM, role-based access, translation and the Slack and Copilot integrations are Enterprise only.
Key features
- Automatic guide capture
- Recording a process produces a step-by-step guide with a screenshot and written instruction for each action. Web capture is on every plan; desktop capture needs a paid plan.
- Autocapture
- Autocapture documents work in the background without anyone pressing start or stop, then turns a discovered workflow into a shareable guide in one click.
- On-screen walkthroughs
- Any guide can be launched as a walkthrough that leads a person through the steps inside the web app itself, and guides can be pinned to an element of a page.
- Editing and redaction
- Paid plans add custom branding, screenshot annotation, and manual or assisted redaction. Enforced automatic redaction of sensitive data is limited to Enterprise.
- Sharing and export
- Guides are shared by link, embedded in other tools or sent as video on every plan. Export to PDF, HTML, Markdown and Microsoft Word starts on Pro Personal.
- Workflow insights
- Scribe analyzes captured workflows to point out bottlenecks, repeated work and steps that could be automated. Advanced insights and AI suggestions are on paid plans.
