Capture

Capture every conversation, without a bot.

Most AI note-takers join your call as a participant. Scrieb records on your own computer, so nobody sees a bot and nothing is uploaded.

Zoom, Teams and Meet

“Record from App” captures the call's audio and your microphone on your computer. Works with any meeting app.

In-person meetings

Record the microphone only, from the app or the menu bar. Recording is written to disk as it happens, so long meetings are safe.

Files you already have

Drag in MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, AIFF, MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, Opus and more. Scrieb asks what it is and picks the right summary.

Voice memos and dictation

Phone voice notes, dictaphone files and quick memos, turned into text and a to-do list.

Mac, Windows, Windows on ARM

Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, Windows 10 and 11, and a native build for Snapdragon laptops. One licence covers them all.

Record while models download

Start recording on day one. Anything recorded during setup is transcribed as soon as the models are ready.

Summaries

The right summary for each kind of conversation.

Pick a type, or write your own. Summaries come out in the language of the recording, written by a model running on your computer.

Handover practices – ward nurse

Summary & chat
This recordingAll recordings
SUMMARY
Overview

A nurse with eleven years on a surgical ward describes how shift handovers work in practice and where information gets lost.

Questions and answers by topic
  • Handover format. Verbal at the bedside for complex patients, a printed sheet for the rest.
  • Where it fails. Night-to-morning handovers, when the incoming team is already on rounds.
Key quotes

“The sheet tells you the diagnosis. It never tells you what the family is worried about.” — Participant

Open points
  • Follow up on the pilot of the digital handover form.
Where does information get lost?

Mostly at the night-to-morning handover: the incoming team is already on rounds, so the handover is squeezed into the corridor (03:46). The participant also points out that the printed sheet never captures what the family is worried about (04:31).

Search and chat

Perfect memory, stored on your own disk.

Find anything anyone said, in any recording, without your archive ever leaving the computer.

Search inside every transcript

Library search looks through transcripts and summaries, not just titles, and shows the matching passage under each result.

Ask across all recordings

Switch the chat from “This recording” to “All recordings”. The answer names the recordings it used, one click away.

Titles that make sense

“GMT20261011-093012_Recording” becomes a short title from its summary. Titles you typed yourself are never changed.

Frequently asked questions

How is Scrieb different from a meeting bot like Fireflies or Otter?

Those services send a bot into your call and process the audio on their servers. Scrieb records on your own computer and does everything locally, so no participant sees a bot and no recording is uploaded.

Does Scrieb record people without them knowing?

Scrieb does not join or announce itself in a call. Tell participants you are recording and get consent where the law requires it, just as with any recorder.

Can I use it completely offline?

Yes. After the one-time model download, recording, transcription, summaries, search and chat all work without internet. Subscribers can switch on Offline mode so Scrieb makes no connections on its own.

Is there a free version?

Yes. The free plan gives you 1 hour of recording per day, with speaker identification, chat and all export formats. No card needed. Pro removes the limit and covers Mac and Windows with one licence.

Which languages does it support?

Whisper transcribes 90+ languages. Summaries are written in the language of the recording. The app itself is available in eleven languages. Running it on a PC? See Whisper for Windows.

Can someone help me set it up?

Yes. Book a free 15-minute onboarding call.

Simple pricing. One licence for Mac and Windows.
