Keep Scribie, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Scribie you could make: documents. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 61 of the 68 other AI meeting note takers grade higher.
What you could make
- Documents: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Scribie’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
