Step 1: Download Scribe

Scribe offers multiple ways to use our tool: browser extensions and desktop apps.

Browser extensions:

All users can use either our Chrome or Edge extension to capture browser-based apps and processes.

Desktop apps:

Pro and Enterprise users can also capture desktop-based apps and processes by utilizing our Mac and Windows desktop apps.

Step 2: Capture a Scribe

A Scribe is a step-by-step guide automatically created for any digital process. In order to capture a Scribe, all you have to do is turn on the Scribe recorder (via either the browser extension or desktop app), walk through your process as you normally would, and turn it off when you're done. How easy is that?!

Step 3: Customize your Scribe

Scribe does all the heavy lifting to automatically turn your process into a Scribe. If you want to customize your Scribe to make it even more perfect, we offer a plethora of editing tools.

Pro or Enterprise users can also edit your screenshots to crop, annotate, or redact.

Step 4: Share your Scribe

Scribes are meant to be shared, so we offer a handful of different ways you can share your Scribe with teammates.

If you want to embed your Scribe into other tools you're already using (knowledge bases, wikis, etc) you can easily do that with our Smart Embed functionality. Some of our most popular tools users embed into are Confluence, Sharepoint, Notion, Guru and Hubspot.

🤩 And that's it! In just a few minutes you'll have captured, edited, and shared your first Scribe with teammates.
