Quickstart

This walkthrough takes you from zero to your first ScribX write-up. By the end you'll have:

  • The extension installed and signed in
  • One meeting captured end to end
  • A transcript, translation and AI summary waiting in your library

It takes about five minutes, and you don't need a credit card — the Free plan covers it.

Before you begin​

  • A Chromium-based browser — Chrome, Edge, Brave or Arc (see supported browsers)
  • A ScribX account — sign up free
  • A meeting to capture (a real call, or just open a Google Meet with yourself to test)

1. Install and pin the extension​

  1. 1Click Add to Chrome
Add ScribX from the Chrome Web Store.
  1. Open the ScribX listing in the Chrome Web Store and click Add to Chrome.
  2. Confirm the permissions prompt.
  3. Click the puzzle-piece icon in your toolbar and pin ScribX so it's always one click away.

Full details and other browsers: Install the extension.

2. Sign in​

  1. Click the ScribX icon in your toolbar.
  2. Choose Sign in and authenticate with your work account.
  3. The extension and the web app now share one session — you won't need to sign in again on this device.

More on this: Sign in & accounts.

3. Capture a meeting​

You have two ways to capture. For your first run, the in-browser path is fastest.

  1. Join any meeting in Google Meet, Zoom or Teams in your browser.
  2. Open the ScribX side panel from the extension.
  3. Click Capture this meeting.

The live transcript starts immediately. To have a bot join the call instead — useful when you can't keep the tab open — see Send a bot.

4. Watch it work live​

While the meeting runs you'll see:

  • Live transcript — words appear within milliseconds, first as interim text, then committed.
  • Translation — turn it on to read every line in your language alongside the original.
  • Checkpoints — decisions, blockers and action items ScribX flags as they come up.

See In the meeting for the full panel tour.

5. End the call and open your notes​

Your meeting in the library — summary, transcript and recording, ready in seconds.
  1. Leave or end the meeting as usual.
  2. Within seconds, open your library — the meeting is at the top.
  3. Open it to find the AI summary, action items, full transcript and the original recording.
Teams — where your meetings land

You start in your own private team; captures land there by default. Create more teams (for a group or client) and switch between them from the team switcher at the top-left. See Teams, projects & roles.

The write-up includes a Quick recap, an Overview by topic, Next steps by owner, and a timestamped Detailed recap — all editable. See The write-up.
