Multiple formats from one recording
One screen recording becomes a video with voiceovers, a step-by-step guide, and an interactive walkthrough. Customers watch the format they prefer. Scribe locks you into static screenshots.
Scribe Is Built for Capturing Internal SOPs. Trainn Is Purpose Built for Customer Training Videos & Guides.

Capability Comparison
Trainn vs Scribe
Scribe is a solid documentation tool for capturing your internal processes into annotated screenshots and
text. But a customer figuring out how to use your product at 4PM doesn't want to read screenshots,
they
want a 2 min video.
Trainn turns your screen recording into videos, guides, and interactive walkthroughs — and hosts all of it in one place, so you're not stitching multiple tools together.

Why Customer-Facing Teams Switch
4 Reasons Why CS Teams Pick Trainn for
Customer Training Use cases
A complete training platform
Trainn bundles creation, delivery (academy, knowledge hub, in-app), and analytics in one place. You can run a full customer training program without stitching five tools together.
Faster content production with AI
Trainn’s AI agent LARA turns your screen recording into polished video with AI voiceovers, contextual narration, zooms, spotlights, subtitles, and titles. About 10 minutes per training video and guide, not hours.
End-to-end learner analytics
See who watched, who finished, and where they dropped off, from first view to course completion. Scribe's view count stops at 'someone opened it' — you still can't prove training worked.
3X VIDEO OUTPUT YOY
50% Reduction in Video Production Time
"We compared this year to last, and the difference was clear — production time dropped by half, and our output on Trainn-driven videos tripled. Pages with video score noticeably higher than the ones without."
Fa Lujan Waisberg
Sr. Manager, Strategic Programs, ServiceNow
ELIMINATED 1:1 TRAINING
100+ Videos in 45 Days
"Our team was stuck repeating the same walkthroughs on every call. Now customers self-serve through the BuildOps Learning Center, and support finally gets its time back instead of spending it on training."
Sabina Rana
Head of Customer Support, BuildOps
SMES TURNED INTO CONTENT CREATORS
80% Less Time to Create Training Videos
"Best screen-recording and streaming platform for end-user training and support. Very shallow learning curve. No need for a radio-voice, good microphone or ambiance to record."
Rob B.
Technical Training Strategy Manager, AVEVA
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Trainn? +
Trainn is an AI-powered customer education platform for software companies. Record a product workflow once and its AI turns it into a narrated video, an interactive walkthrough, and a step-by-step guide, then delivers them through a knowledge base, in-app tutorials, or a branded academy with courses and certifications. Analytics show who completed the training.
Is Trainn a good alternative to Scribe? +
Yes. Scribe is built for capturing internal SOPs as annotated screenshots and text. Trainn is built for creating customer training videos with AI voiceover and guides, then delivering them through a branded academy, knowledge hub, or in-app — and learner analytics built in.
What's the difference between Trainn and Scribe? +
Scribe generates a static, screenshot-based guide from your screen recording. Trainn generates a narrated video, a written guide, and an interactive walkthrough from the same recording, and gives you a place to host and track all of it.
Does Trainn replace Loom and Tango too, or just Scribe? +
All three. Loom gives you a plain recording with no structure or analytics. Scribe and Tango give you screenshots with no video or voice. Trainn combines video creation, guide creation, and delivery in one platform, so you're not stitching multiple tools together.
Can I bring my existing Scribe guides into Trainn? +
Yes. You can import existing screenshots and documentation into Trainn and turn them into narrated videos and interactive guides, so you're not starting over.
Is there a free trial? +
Yes. A 14-day free trial with no credit card. Paid plans start at $2,400/year.
