Getting Started

Step 1: Create an account

Before using ScribeScoop, you need to create a free account. Visit the ScribeScoop website and click Get Started or navigate directly to the sign-up page.

1. Enter your email address.
2. Choose a display name.
3. Create a password. Your password must be at least 8 characters and include an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, a number, and a special character.
4. Click Create Account.
5. Check your email for a verification link. Click the link to confirm your account.

Once verified, you can sign in to the web dashboard and the desktop application.

Step 2: Download the desktop application

After signing in to the web dashboard, you will see a download section on the Dashboard page. Three download options are available for Windows:

• Installer (.exe) -- The recommended option. Runs a standard Windows installer that sets up ScribeScoop on your system.
• Portable (.exe) -- A standalone executable that runs without installation. Useful if you do not have administrator access.
• MSI Package (.msi) -- A Windows Installer package for enterprise or automated deployment.

Download your preferred option and run the file to install or launch the application.

Step 3: Sign in to the desktop application

When you first open the desktop application, you will see a sign-in screen. You have two options:

• Sign In with Browser -- Opens your default web browser to the ScribeScoop login page. After signing in, the browser redirects back to the desktop application automatically. This is the recommended method.
• Email and Password -- Enter your email and password directly in the application.

After a successful sign-in, the application loads the main interface and you are ready to start recording.

Step 4: Make your first recording

1. On the Capture screen, select your microphone from the microphone dropdown. If you are recording a meeting, also select the system audio output device to capture remote participants.
2. Optionally, click Browse next to the output directory to choose where recordings are saved. The default location is your Documents folder under a ScribeScoop subfolder.
3. Click the Capture Session button to begin recording. You will see the timer start counting and the audio level meters will show activity.
4. When you are done, click Stop Capture. The recording is saved to your chosen output directory.

Step 5: Transcribe and summarize

1. Navigate to the Recordings tab in the sidebar.
2. Your new recording appears in the file list. Click on it to select it.
3. Choose a summary profile from the dropdown at the bottom (the default is Meeting Notes).
4. Click Process. The application will upload the audio, transcribe it, and generate a summary. You will see status updates as each step completes.
5. Once processing is complete, the results open in the Results tab where you can read, search, copy, or download your transcript and summary.
