Record Your Screen and Get an Automatic Transcript
This AI screen recorder captures your screen, a browser tab, or an application window, and transcribes what you say while you record. ChatGPT and other text-based AI assistants cannot do this: they have no access to your screen or microphone, so a recorder built on the browser’s own capture API is a separate tool for a separate job.
548 product demos were recorded on ScreenApp in the last 90 days. Speak normally while you record. The transcript is ready a few minutes after you stop, with chapters already marked so a long walkthrough is easy to skip through later.
What you get with every recording:
- A transcript of your voiceover, in 99 languages
- Chapters with timestamps, so a long recording is split by topic
- Ask AI questions about the recording and get answers that point to the moment it happened
- Search across your recordings by name or by what was said
- Export the transcript as PDF, Word, or text, and the video as MP4
- Free plan: one recording of up to 45 minutes, with AI chat on it, and no watermark on any recording or export
Recordings are saved to your account and open on any device where you sign in.
How to Record and Transcribe Your Screen
- Start recording: Open the recorder in your browser and choose your full screen, a single window, or a browser tab. You can add screen, window, browser tab, microphone and camera, with system audio.
- Speak while you record: Talk through what you are demonstrating. Transcription runs on the audio track once you stop, along with chapters and speaker labels.
- Read, search, and share: Search the transcript, jump to a timestamp, or ask AI a question about what happened in the recording. Download the video as MP4 or send a link with team workspaces and share links.
Transcript accuracy depends on the audio. A clear voiceover recorded near the microphone works well; a recording with heavy background noise or crosstalk will have gaps. See how we measure accuracy.

Who Uses an AI Screen Recorder
Course creators and educators record tutorials and walkthroughs, then hand students a transcript they can search by keyword instead of scrubbing back through the video to find a step.
Product managers and SaaS teams record a demo of a feature once and keep the transcript on hand. When something changes, they can check the transcript against the current product instead of guessing what the old recording still shows.
Customer support teams build a library of recorded fixes with searchable transcripts, so an agent can find the recording that answers a ticket by searching for the words a customer used.
Sales professionals record a walkthrough for a prospect and can search back through past recordings for the point where they answered a similar question before.
Content creators and marketers record software demos and social clips, and use the transcript to write captions or a description without re-watching the whole video.
