"Easy to Use, Highly Customizable Steps with Embedded Video Tutorials"
5/5
What do you like best about Scribe?

I love the ease of use, and that it helps polish my steps with descriptions that I can edit. Being able to highly customize each step is a plus. Probably my favorite thing is bring able to embed video tutorials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scribe?

The only minor things I don't love is that sometimes it doesn't register a click, and I have to redo a step. Also I suspect sometimes Scribe running auto-capture in the background may slightly alter performance of my PC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Tremendous Time Saver for Creating Interactive Guides"
5/5
What do you like best about Scribe?

It is a tremendous time saver. Much faster than inserting screenshots in PPTs. Allows you to create interactive guides as well, not just static screenshots. the guide me feature is very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scribe?

It would be helpful if you could organise your scribes, currently the UI on the main screen puts them all into one large bucket, if I have created pages, then I would like to be able to have the pages and then the associated scribes placed under them, sort of like folders and subfolders.

"Scribe: Automatic Screenshots, Intuitive UI, and Great Intro Pricing"
5/5
What do you like best about Scribe?

The automatic screenshot capture feature, which also captures where on screen it was clicked, or what should be typed in.

The UI is easy to navigate, both as an editor and a user.

Scribe has a good introductory price, and I was able to get a one-month free trial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scribe?

The integrations can be improved a bit I would say. I had trouble starting the app using Google Chrome. It threw a Javascript error when I hit record. But in reality, it was running in the background and ended up capturing a lot of things I didn't need to capture.

The UI can be somewhat janky when editing screenshots.

I encountered a lot of slowdowns when editing an already captured screenshot, where it would take time to replace a screenshot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-Friendly, Cost-Effective with Minor Audio Limitations"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Scribe?

I love using Scribe for how it records the specific clicks and highlights on the screen, making it easy for our teachers to follow along. The setup was super easy, and its intuitive interface is very user-friendly. Additionally, the cost provides great value, making it accessible to many. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scribe?

{"I had the misconception that the software recorded audio instead of using AI for transcription, and I wish this feature was included in my subscription cost.","I would like the opportunity to have audio transcriptions or recordings that can be attached to my scribes, as some learners appreciate hearing voice alongside reading.","It would be beneficial if Scribe added the option to edit downloaded documents directly in the platform instead of needing to use Microsoft to edit for privacy and then convert to PDF."} Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Tutorial Creation with Accurate Step-by-Step Guides"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Scribe?

It makes it very easy to create tutorials and step-by-step instructions for how to do a process or use a piece of software. The desktop app and browser plug-in are very easy to use and produce great results with accurate text based descriptions based on my motions and clicking on the screen. It is easy to share a link to the scribe or create a PDF to share afterwards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scribe?

Sometimes some of the steps disappear from the final scribe. I have had to redo the same process multiple times because some critical steps disappear. The app and AI think it is not necessary, but the steps are in-fact necessary and important to the process I was trying to show. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Scribe’s AI and Browser Integration Make Guide Creation Effortless"
5/5
What do you like best about Scribe?

The most helpful tool in Scribe is the AI that reviews the guide I just captured and tweaks and adjusts it before I have to make any changes. It makes editing the guides I’ve just created a breeze. The guide I’m creating is for a web-based system, and the browser integration is easy to set up and simple to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scribe?

Editing guides after they’ve been created can be quite tricky. You have to make sure you’re in the right section while making changes, and it’s easy for small edits or additions to get thrown in without any proper checking or review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Simple Tool That Saves Me Hours"
5/5
What do you like best about Scribe?

I can quickly create clear, step-by-step guides for processes and common questions, which gives employees and managers a resource they can refer to on their own. It has significantly reduced the amount of time I spend answering the same questions repeatedly, while also making processes more consistent and easier to follow. It’s a simple tool, but it has made a big difference in how efficiently I can support others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scribe?

Too expensive. If it was just for one person it would be incredibly pricey Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
