Scribe
Automatically creates step-by-step guides with screenshots from any workflow you perform on your computer.
Overview
Scribe is a process documentation tool that automatically creates step-by-step how-to guides by recording your screen as you complete any workflow. Install the browser extension or desktop app, click Record, perform the task, and Scribe generates a complete document with annotated screenshots of every click and keystroke, ready to share with teammates or clients.
The AI layer enhances the generated document: it writes descriptive text for each step ('Click the Settings gear icon in the top right corner'), suggests a title and introduction, and formats the guide for clarity. The resulting documentation is accurate and detailed because it captures exactly what was done, rather than relying on manual description that often misses steps.
Scribe is used by operations teams, customer success managers, and trainers who spend significant time documenting processes for onboarding, standard operating procedures, and client training materials. The time saving is significant: a process that would take 30 minutes to document manually takes 3 minutes with Scribe. The shareable link format allows instant distribution without exporting.

- Turn a 30-minute SOP into a 3-minute recording, which is what its reviewers consistently praise
- Capture from a browser extension or the desktop app
- Redact sensitive fields before sharing a guide outside the team
- Share a guide by link or embed it in existing documentation
- Weigh the 4.8 rating Scribe cites across G2 and the Chrome Web Store against your own trial
Scribe is a best-in-class process-documentation tool: it records your screen actions and auto-generates step-by-step guides with annotated screenshots, slashing the time to create SOPs, onboarding docs and how-tos. The browser/desktop capture is fast and the output is clean, making it a clear winner for ops, support and enablement teams.
The free tier is limited and advanced controls (redaction, branding, enterprise admin) sit in paid plans, and it is narrowly focused on how-to docs rather than general knowledge management. Highly recommended for documenting repeatable processes; English-first, global, easily usable from ASEAN.
What we found
Scribe cites a 4.8 rating on G2 and the Chrome Web Store — G2 would not load for us to check the count — and the praise clusters around one thing: turning a 30-minute SOP into a 3-minute recording. Click record, walk through the task, and Scribe stitches together an annotated screenshot for every click with auto-written captions ('Click the Settings gear icon...'). For ops and support teams drowning in onboarding docs, that speed is the whole pitch.
The friction shows up after the first draft. Users report screenshots that need manual cleanup, guides that occasionally save with zero steps captured, and an auto-redaction feature that doesn't always catch what it should — awkward for anyone handling PII or PHI. Editing an existing scribe is fiddlier than recording a new one.
Pricing has drifted upmarket. Basic is still free, though Scribe reserves unlimited guide creation for its paid plans, and Pro Personal runs $35/month (or $25 billed yearly), and Pro Team starts at $17 per seat with a 5-seat minimum ($13 annually). Enterprise is quoted individually, and the jump from the free tier to a five-seat team minimum is what catches small operators off guard.
Scribehow.com has redirected to scribe.com since late 2025; the product didn't change, but bookmarks and search results still point to the old domain. For repeatable, screen-based workflows this remains the category leader — just budget for the paid tiers if you need branding, redaction, or team collaboration.
The company behind it is growing fast: a $75 million Series C in November 2025 valued it at $1.3 billion and launched Scribe Optimize, which analyses how work actually gets done, and Scribe said in May 2026 that it had passed $100 million in annual recurring revenue.

Notable facts
- Scribe documents a process 15x faster than manual documentation — a 30-minute process guide that takes 3 minutes to create vs traditional screen recording and annotation.
- The tool was founded by Jennifer Smith, one of the few female founders in the AI productivity space, after she grew frustrated manually documenting processes for new employees.
- Scribe generates documents that update automatically if the underlying software interface changes — using AI to re-map steps to the new UI.
