ScribeHow
π§ What Is ScribeHow?
ScribeHow (sometimes referred to simply as Scribe) is an AI-powered documentation platform designed to convert your on-screen actions into professional, step-by-step guides. Instead of manually taking screenshots and writing instructions, ScribeHow automatically records what youβre doing and turns it into a structured guide with screenshots, text, and clear steps β all editable and shareable.
Its goal is to make documentation fast, intuitive, and useful β especially for teams that rely on standardized processes to train employees or share knowledge.

ScribeHow works with a browser extension and desktop app that automatically captures your workflow:
Install the Scribe extension or desktop app β available for Chrome, Edge, Windows, and Mac.
Start capturing your process β click βStart Captureβ and perform your task as usual; ScribeHow logs each click and action.
Generate the guide instantly β once complete, Scribe transforms your recorded steps into a guide with screenshots and autogenerated descriptions.
Edit and customize β add titles, extra text, annotations, blur sensitive info, or reorder steps.
Share or export β publish guides as links, embed them, or download as PDFs to share internally or externally.
This makes creating documentation up to 10x faster than traditional manual methods.
