## What is Scriber?

Sitting in a lecture in your second language? Scriber shows every sentence as it is said, with the translation right underneath, and writes the notes while you listen.

Built for international students: record the class, follow along in your own language, and leave with a structured outline, a summary, and an AI you can ask about what was said.

LIVE CAPTIONS AND TRANSLATION
See what is being said as it is said, with the translation underneath. Switch between the original, both languages, or the translation alone at any time. Recording keeps going while your phone is locked or you are in another app.

NOTES THAT WRITE THEMSELVES
Scriber builds a Cornell-style outline as the lecture runs: topics, the points under them, and recall questions alongside. It revises earlier lines as the lecture makes them clearer, so you end up with notes rather than a wall of text.

FLASHCARDS FROM EVERY LECTURE
Each lecture becomes a deck: the recall questions from your notes with the answers the lecturer gave, and the key terms explained the way they were explained in class. Tap Hear it on any card to play the moment it was said. With Pro, every card, a review of a whole course in one go, and daily reviews timed to what you are about to forget.

SLIDES THAT FOLLOW THE LECTURE
Add the lecturer's PDF and every page is matched to the part of the recording where it was covered: open a page to see what was said and the notes taken over it, or play the recording and watch the slides turn with it.

A STUDY GUIDE FOR EVERY COURSE
Read all of a course's notes on one page, and generate a study guide from them: the themes that run through the course, a glossary, and practice questions with answers.

SUMMARY AND KEY POINTS
When the recording stops, Scriber writes an overview of the whole lecture and pulls out its key concepts, in the language you chose.

ASK ABOUT THE LECTURE
Ask questions while you are recording or long afterwards. Answers come from your own transcript and notes, so they are about the class you actually attended.

IMPORT RECORDINGS
Already have a recording or a lecture video? Import it and get the same transcript, translation, notes and summary.

ORGANIZED BY COURSE
Recordings sit in folders. Tap any line of the transcript to jump the audio to that moment, and follow along while it plays.

SHARE
Send one lecture to a classmate with a link, or share a whole folder with a study group.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.0.3 — 2026-10-01

Flashcards, slides that follow the lecture, a study guide for every course — and Scriber now speaks six languages.

• Pick English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Spanish in Settings.
• Every lecture has a Cards tab: questions from your notes, key terms, and a Hear it button that plays the moment each answer was said. Write your own cards too. Free accounts can try the first five cards of any lecture.
• Slides: add the lecturer's PDF to a lecture and Scriber matches every page to the part of the recording where it was covered. Play the recording and the slides turn with it. Free accounts can add slides to two lectures a month.
• Notes & guide on every course: all of a course's notes on one page, and a study guide written from them, with the course's themes, a glossary and practice questions. Free accounts get one guide a month.
• With Pro: every card, slides on every lecture, study guides whenever you like, Study this course to review a whole folder at once, and a Due for review card on Home.
• The calendar holds your own events: add one to any day, and a free day says so.
• Reading a lecture back, the header and the player fold away as you scroll, and come back when you scroll up.
• A new recording screen.
• Urdu is now a translation language.
• Sturdier recording: a microphone that stops is started again, a reconnect keeps your microphone, a recording with no sound says so instead of saving a blank, and a new recording can never pick up audio from the last one.
• Come back to a recording from Home and the translations you missed are already there.
• Summaries are split into short paragraphs, and a short recording gets a short summary.
• A shared lecture's link opens the lecture.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-23

Fixes and refinements from a week of reports.

• Opening a lecture no longer shows an empty screen on iPhones still on iOS 16.3 or earlier.
• An event code now gives you your free month right here in the app, the moment you enter it.
• Home keeps a recording in sight while it runs: a live card at the top with what was just said, and a record button that counts.
• A new sign-in screen, and you can reset a forgotten password without leaving the app.
• Ask AI now fits in the space the keyboard leaves, and iOS's grey bar above the keyboard is gone.
• A folder somebody shared with you appears on iPhone, and everyone can call a shared lecture what they call it — search follows the name you gave it.
• A note's timestamp is a button: tap it to hear that moment.
• The microphone is asked for once at the start of a recording, not again every time the connection blips.
• Starting a second recording no longer loses the first one.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-18

Your plan's recording length is now stated before you start, counted down while you record, and explained if a recording reaches it — and moving to a longer plan mid-lecture raises that recording's limit on the spot. A saved lecture gets a Notes tab with every topic and recall question. New themes for the whole app. Invite friends and redeem event codes from Settings. Fixes for audio that stopped after a few seconds, transcripts that drifted after a reconnect, and translations that stopped appearing after one line spoken in another language.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-16

No release notes.
