# Introduction

Most valuable information today is spoken, recorded, or buried inside media — meetings, interviews, lectures, videos, voice notes, and everyday screen activity. But this information is hard to search, reference, and reuse.

Scribe OS is built to make spoken and recorded content usable.

The platform starts with Scribe OS Web, which processes audio and video files into fast, accurate, timestamped transcripts and translations — ready for search, sharing, and downstream AI workflows.

Next, Scribe OS Desktop extends this capability to personal workflows — capturing and indexing on-device audio and context to make everyday work recallable and searchable.

Together, Scribe OS creates a simple pipeline:

Capture → Transcribe → Structure → Search → Use

Not just transcripts — but usable, time-aligned knowledge. Scribe OS makes spoken and recorded content searchable — starting with high-accuracy web transcription and expanding to personal desktop capture.
