# Scribe

> Step-by-step guides captured automatically as you work

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.

## 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.
