Compare · Vaitly Voice and Scribe
Step-by-step guides, and three more tools.
Scribe turns captured work into guides for teams and AI agents. Vaitly Guides does the guide part on your own computer, with captions and voices, and it sits in the same app as meeting notes with no bot and dictation in any app. Here is an honest comparison.
Side by side
What each one does.
| Vaitly Voice | Scribe | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A desktop app with four tools: step-by-step guides, meeting notes, dictation, and polish and search | A platform for capturing how work gets done, for teams and AI agents |
| Where you capture | A desktop app for Mac and Windows (Guides on the Mac first) | A desktop app for Windows and Mac, and a browser extension for Chrome and Edge |
| How steps are made | From your clicks and from each new screen, while you talk | From captured work; Autocapture records without pressing start or stop |
| Where guides live | On your computer. Nothing is uploaded | Shared by link, exported, or placed in team tools |
| Narration | Your own recorded voice, your computer's voices, or ten natural AI voices that run on your computer | Guides can be shared as text, video or on-screen guidance |
| Captions | A caption bar in the player follows the voice word by word | Not stated on the pages we checked |
| Exports | PDF, Markdown, single web page, playable guide, MP4 (Mac) | Share link, export to a preferred format, team tools |
| Hiding sensitive details | Opaque boxes and crops, flattened into the exported picture | Admin policies that enforce redaction, domain controls and IP allow lists |
| Meeting notes | Yes: calls written up with no bot (Vaitly Meetings, beta) | Not part of the product described |
| Dictation into any app | Yes | Not part of the product described |
| Team admin and compliance | Not offered: it is a personal desktop app | SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, FERPA and GDPR stated; workspace controls |
| AI tools and integrations | Not offered | MCP and API, so AI tools can use guides |

Questions
Vaitly Voice and Scribe.
Is Vaitly Guides a Scribe alternative?
For making step-by-step guides from a task you show on screen, yes. Vaitly Guides keeps everything on your computer and adds captions and voices for playback. It is not a team knowledge platform: there is no shared online library, admin console or browser extension.
When is Scribe the better choice?
If you need a shared workspace for a whole organisation, admin policies, compliance certifications, capture in the browser, translation, or guides that AI agents can read through an API, Scribe is built for that, and Vaitly Voice is not.
When is Vaitly Voice the better choice?
If you want guides made and kept on your own computer, played back with captions and a voice, and the same app to write up your calls with no bot and type for you in any app.
Can I use both?
Yes. Export a Vaitly guide as Markdown, a web page or PDF and put it wherever your team keeps its documentation.
