Scribe writes the guide. DemoRiff writes it and films it.
Written guides are half the answer. Some people scan, some people watch, and most B2B buying committees contain both. DemoRiff generates the same step-by-step article Scribe would — and a directed video and an interactive tour from the identical capture.
Where Scribe is the better choice
Scribe is excellent at what it does: capture a process, get a clean written guide with screenshots, share it. For internal SOPs and process documentation where video would be overkill, it is efficient and well-liked.
If your need is purely internal process documentation, Scribe is a reasonable and inexpensive answer. If any of that content is customer-facing, the written guide alone leaves the most persuasive format on the table.
Four things DemoRiff does that Scribe does not
Video from the same capture
A directed, branded, narrated video generated alongside the article. Not a slideshow of screenshots — an actual cut with zooms, voice and pacing.
An interactive version for the website
The same recording becomes a clickable tour you can embed on a pricing page. A static guide cannot do that job.
Localization across all formats
Guides, video narration and tour tooltips localize together into thirty-four languages, with staleness tracked per language.
Brand control worth having
Guides inherit a real brand system — type, colour, callout style, screenshot treatment — so they look like your documentation rather than a tool's export.

Switching from Scribe
Guides created in Scribe can be imported as Markdown, and re-recording the flow once gives you the video and interactive versions alongside it.
What people ask us
Possibly, and we would rather say so than sell you something. If nothing you document is customer-facing and nobody has asked for video, Scribe is cheaper and sufficient. The calculation changes the moment a guide needs to go on your help center, in a language you do not speak, with a video at the top.
