showdo vs Scribe
Both turn your clicks into a step-by-step guide. showdo also makes a narrated video you can download, speaks Indian languages, and blurs private details without an Enterprise plan.
Why teams pick showdo over Scribe
A real video, not a read-aloud view
Scribe reads a guide's steps aloud as you play through it. showdo makes an MP4 with a voiceover, captions and a zoom on every click.
Your files in your own cloud
Scribe's plans don't offer your own storage. showdo can keep every screenshot and video in your own AWS, Google Cloud, Azure or Cloudflare R2 storage, and only reaches the one folder you give it.
Indian languages
Scribe's translation is on Enterprise and its list doesn't name Hindi. showdo translates guides, voiceover and captions into 34 Indian languages.
Blur and export without an Enterprise plan
Automatic blur is on Scribe Enterprise, and PDF and Markdown export need Pro. In showdo both are free during early access.

Does showdo have something like Guide Me?
