Questions people ask
Does Scrieb send my audio to the cloud?
No. All recording, transcription, and summarizing happens on your own computer, and audio never leaves your device.
Will Scrieb work on my computer?
It runs on modern Windows PCs (Windows 10 version 1903 or later, and Windows 11, x64 and ARM64) and Macs including Apple Silicon and Intel, with at least 8GB RAM recommended; GPU acceleration helps but isn't required.
How is my data protected?
The local database can be encrypted with a key stored in your OS keychain, and audio files are protected by your disk encryption (FileVault or BitLocker); there is also an optional auto-delete mode after export.
Is there a free version?
Yes, Scrieb is free to try with a daily recording limit and no card required; the Pro plan removes the limit and covers both Mac and Windows with one license.
What AI model does Scrieb use for transcription?
It uses OpenAI's open-source Whisper model (Small, Medium, or Large v3 Turbo, selectable in Settings) for speech-to-text, with separate local models for speaker identification and summaries; nothing is sent to a cloud model.
