Capture the session.
Extract the signal.

KiteScribe turns live audio + on-screen context into clean, searchable artifacts. Record microphone or system audio, capture frames, run OCR, and export a session package you can actually use.

Features

Everything needed to go from “a session happened” to “here’s the usable record.”

Audio

Mic or system audio (loopback)

Record microphone input or system output. Ideal for meetings, demos, training videos, and quick notes.

Transcription

Fast offline speech-to-text

Faster-Whisper transcription tuned for speed and stability—designed for repeatable results and clean logs.

OCR

On-screen text from captured frames

Capture screenshots of an active window and extract the text—useful when context lives on the screen.

Archives

Self-contained session folders

Each run produces a neat archive: audio, frames, transcripts, logs, and exports—organized and portable.

Export

MP4 export on exit

On close, KiteScribe can merge frames + audio into a synchronized MP4 for quick review and sharing.

Portable

Bundled dependencies (FFmpeg + Tesseract)

Packaged to run without admin installs where possible—predictable behavior across machines.

How it works

A simple workflow designed to stay out of your way. Capture, extract, and export.

Capture

  • Select audio source: Loopback or Microphone.
  • Select a target window for periodic screenshots.
  • Run live capture while transcription + OCR stream into logs.
Designed for “start it, let it run, trust the outputs.”

Export

  • Auto-generate a session folder under archives/.
  • Write transcript.txt and OCR text alongside frames.
  • Optional MP4 render on exit (frames + audio).
Outputs are portable, searchable, and meant to be reused.
