Scribe is the quickest way to get software procedures written down. Turn it on, do the task, and it produces a step-by-step guide with annotated screenshots that you can edit, brand, redact and share by link or embed. The paid plans add desktop capture, exports to PDF, HTML, Markdown and Word, comments and a Confluence integration, and Scribe's Autocapture AI can turn work your team has already done into guides. For a team, Pro Team costs $13 per seat per month billed yearly, or $17 monthly, with a 5 seat minimum, while Pro Personal costs $25 for a single seat. Scribe is a documentation tool rather than a training system: it does not assign learning paths, run quizzes or track who completed a procedure, so many teams pair it with an SOP platform or wiki. Version history is limited to one week on Pro plans.
