Why ScribeSE

A workbench for reusable knowledge.

Most transcription tools stop at text. ScribeSE keeps the source, transcript, player, and analysis together so every recording can become searchable reference material.

Private by default

Local mode keeps files and transcripts in the browser. Provider API keys stay encrypted in local browser storage.

Built for long recordings

Free users can process video or audio up to 30 minutes. PRO unlocks unlimited media workflows with improved AI processing.

Specialized AI Analysis

Generate summaries, chapters, FAQs, key points, and AI chat using OpenAI, Gemini, OpenRouter, Ollama, or custom APIs.

Study and meeting workflow

Review the video and the transcript together.

Use the integrated video player with timestamped transcript segments, summaries, chapters, and cited chat so lectures, interviews, meetings, and research videos are easier to study and revisit.

Privacy is the differentiator.

Local mode gives sensitive recordings a reason to choose ScribeSE over other cloud services. Users can still opt into cloud mode when they need access from multiple devices.
