THE OLD WAY
Re-watch the whole clip
14 minutes of footage to find the 40 seconds that mattered.
SCREEN RECORDING → SPOKEN FINDINGS
screenscribe
Talk through the bug once. Get a fix-ready report.
Record your screen and say what's wrong. screenscribe pulls out the important moments, captures the matching frames, and writes the report for you.Use it yourself, send it to a teammate, or hand the Markdown/JSON to a coding agent.

THE PROBLEM
A recording isn't a bug report
Hitting record and talking through what's broken is the fastest way to show it. But a video isn't actionable - someone still has to watch the whole thing, scrub to the right second, and type up what was said. That someone is usually future-you, at the worst possible time.
THE OLD WAY
Scrub, pause, screenshot
Frame by frame, hunting for the exact moment you meant.
THE OLD WAY
Write it all up by hand
Turn "this bit" into words a teammate or agent can follow.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
3 bugs, 1 UI change. Highest impact: checkout total not recalculating after item removal.
BUG
Total not recalculating
Removing an item leaves the cart total unchanged.
UI
Button has no click state
"Add" gives no feedback - users tap twice.
ANATOMY OF A FINDING
One marked moment. Fully written up.
Every finding carries the proof: timestamp, transcript, matching frame, visual check, and a concrete suggested fix.
Finding #03
MEDIUM
"This button looks clickable, but nothing happens when I press it..."
WHAT SCREENSCRIBE NOTICED
The primary CTA appears enabled, but the user reports no response on click.
SUGGESTED FIX
Check the click handler and the disabled / loading state on the CTA component.
- AND IT SHIPS AS THREE FILES
report.html
Open in your browser - synced player, subtitles, and screenshot annotations. No server.
report.md
Paste straight into your coding agent - no video, just what to fix.
report.json
Feed into your own tooling, dashboards, or issue tracker.
HOW IT WORKS
Record. Detect. Verify. Export.
The workflow follows the path you actually need: capture the issue, let screenscribe pull out the moments, verify the frame, and export a report.
Recordscreen plus narration

Detecttranscript finds the moments

Verifyframes confirm the context

ExportHTML · Markdown · JSON
The transcript tells the analysis what to look for before the frame check runs.
Record
Capture your screen and narrate the bugs and changes in plain language. Any format FFmpeg reads works - mp4, mov, mkv, webm.
Detect
screenscribe transcribes the narration and pulls out the moments that sound like bugs, changes, or UI issues.
Verify
Each moment is checked against the matching frame, so the report is grounded in what was actually on screen.
Export
Open the HTML, send the Markdown, or pipe the JSON into your own tooling or coding agent.
PICK YOUR MODE
Which mode should I use?
Start with review when you narrated the walkthrough. Use analyze when the clip is silent, messy, or needs careful manual marking.
review
For narrated walkthroughs
Run one command and get a full report: transcript, detected moments, screenshots, visual checks, and exports.

analyze
For silent clips or careful QA
Open the local dashboard, mark moments yourself, add notes, and analyze only the frames that matter.

FEATURES
Built for a clean handoff
Everything the report needs travels with it, so a finding is ready to act on the moment it lands - for a teammate or an agent.
One interactive file with a synced player, subtitles, and screenshot annotations. No server, no external requests - open it, email it, keep it forever.
review runs the whole pipeline for you; analyze hands you a dashboard where you mark the moments yourself.
Scrub the video, flag the frames that matter, and drop a voice or text note - so the AI only looks where you point it. Works even with no audio track.
A transcript-first lane produces clean TXT, segments JSON, and WebVTT - filtered for hallucinations, ready to paste straight into an agent.
Point screenscribe at OpenAI or any compatible provider and use your own key. You pay the provider directly - there's no screenscribe account, subscription, or charge in between. Vetcoders ships LibraxisAI as the first-party default.
WHO IT'S FOR
Show it once - skip the write-up
You don't have to be deep in the codebase. If you can record your screen and say what's wrong, screenscribe does the write-up.

Hand it straight to your AI
The Markdown is built to be read by an agent - say what's wrong, drop the report in, let it fix.INSTALL
Get started in three steps
Install with uv, add your key, run a review. Bring your own OpenAI-compatible key - you pay the provider directly, nothing in between.
Runs locally. Uses your provider key.
screenscribe processes the video on your machine and only sends configured AI requests to the endpoint you choose. No screenscribe account, no subscription layer.
Install
Run uv tool install screenscribe. It installs the CLI and its runtime dependencies from PyPI in an isolated environment — no source checkout needed.
Choose your provider
Run the setup wizard for LibraxisAI, OpenAI, or a custom compatible endpoint. Your API key is entered through a hidden prompt.
Run a review
Install FFmpeg first (brew install ffmpeg on macOS or sudo apt install ffmpeg on Debian/Ubuntu) — it's a system prerequisite, not installed by the package. On a shared Mac, ask the Homebrew owner or an administrator to install it; do not change ownership of the Homebrew prefix.
BASH
$ uv tool install screenscribe
# choose a provider and enter your key in a hidden prompt
$ screenscribe config setup
# FFmpeg is required before the first video run
# review a narrated recording
$ screenscribe review demo.movPrefer to build from source? See Development / install from source in the README.
