Comparison
SceneRecap vs Scribe
Scribe turns a click-through into a guide as you go. SceneRecap records the session and has the AI write the guide afterwards — with the video behind every step, and three other outputs from the same recording.

When Scribe is the better pick
Short deliberate walkthroughs you want as a guide the moment you stop clicking, inside a large existing library of Scribes.
When SceneRecap is
Longer or exploratory sessions, silent recordings, guides that should link back to the video, and teams who also need bug reports and recaps from the same recordings. Try it free.
Frequently asked
Is SceneRecap a Scribe alternative?
For creating step-by-step guides from what you do in the browser, yes. SceneRecap records the whole session as video, so each step in the guide links back to the moment — and the same recording can become a bug report or recap.
Does SceneRecap take screenshots per step?
Yes. The AI segments the recording into steps and picks a clean frame for each, then you export to PDF, DOCX, Markdown, HTML or Notion. You can edit the guide in the app, and swap a step's screenshot by picking any moment in the video, since the whole recording is there to choose from. Scribe has more tools for editing the screenshot image itself, such as redaction.
Which should I pick?
If you mostly produce deliberate click-through how-tos and want them instantly, Scribe is excellent. If your recordings are longer, messier, silent, or you want one recording to serve as guide and bug report and recap, pick SceneRecap.
