Turn it into something worth reading.

Everything between the first spoken sentence and a finished, distributable book lives in one focused authorship system.

Record-first Live Capture

Four powerful polish levels

Move from faithful grammar correction to expanded prose, deep editorial development, or an Uber ghostwriting transformation.

Premium File Manager

Organize recordings, transcripts, chapters, covers, exports, and revisions without losing the thread of a long project.

A

Book Builder

Arrange chapters, edit final prose, find and replace, revisit revision history, and prepare a coherent manuscript in one place.

Day, Night, or System

A carefully tuned adaptive interface supports bright offices, late-night writing, and your preferred macOS appearance.

Your archive is not old content.

Inside The Scribe

Five movements from voice to bookshelf — each one built into the app you can see below.

01 · Capture

Transcribe anything with a voice.

Paste a YouTube or podcast link. Drop in audio or video files. Batch years of recordings. Or start Live Capture and watch the studio waveform while The Scribe records the complete session. When you stop, it transcribes the finished audio in one high-accuracy pass, safely stores the transcript, and removes the temporary recording only after success.

“Ten years of preaching is a library waiting to be typed.”

02 · The Ghostwriter

“Keeping it Real” writes the book.

Not a summary. Not a cleanup. Hand it one lecture and it returns a structured ebook — title, chapters, Reflection & Application, a final charge to the reader — with the speaker's conviction, rhythm, and fire intact. It even repairs what the transcriber mis-heard, using context. Four levels of polish let you choose how far the editor goes.

“The ebook must feel born from the lecture — never artificially rewritten.”

03 · Publish

Assemble it. Approve it. Publish it.

Pick transcripts as chapters, reorder them, and let the offline AI design your cover — describe the feeling (“stormy sea at dawn, gold light breaking through”) and it chooses palette, motif, and mood, then paints a KDP-ready 1600×2560 cover. Read each polished chapter in the editable preview and press Save as Final — that exact text ships. Then export: EPUB that uploads straight to Amazon KDP and Apple Books, a print-ready 6×9 PDF with contents and page numbers, or Word. In English — or translated into any of 12 languages.

“AI drafts. You approve. The book ships your words.”

04 · Be heard

The same book becomes the audiobook.

Pick any macOS voice, set the pace, and press Listen to audition it instantly. When it sounds right, The Scribe narrates the whole book — one track per chapter, free, private, on your Mac. And for the week ahead, one click builds the Content Pack: titles, quotes, posts, a YouTube description, a newsletter — all from your own words.

“…and heard in every car on the drive to work.”

05 · Think

A study partner that never phones home.

Chat with the on-device AI about anything — attach a transcript and dig in together: five title options, the weakest chapter, Sunday’s follow-up question, next month’s series. It runs entirely on your Mac: no account, no internet required, and your conversations never leave the room. It’s the same private model that polishes your books.

“Ask the sermon what it wants to become.”

Faithful correction

Clean, correct, still entirely yours.

Repairs grammar, punctuation, repetition, and transcription errors without changing your ideas or voice.

Light polish: Persistence is not pretending the storm does not exist. It is choosing to remain anchored while the wind is still speaking.

Questions, answered plainly

Is my sermon or episode sent to the cloud?

Recording, transcription, projects, and local AI stay on your computer. Only the chapter text or cover brief you deliberately submit to Premium AI is encrypted in transit and sent for generation. Audio is never sent for Premium Polish, and your material is not used to train The Scribe.

Will the book really sound like me?

That's the whole design. “Keeping it Real” is instructed to preserve your conviction, rhythm, illustrations, and voice — and forbidden from inventing content or Scripture. You approve every chapter in an editable preview before anything ships.

Is the AI chat really offline?

Yes. Chat runs on the same open-source model that lives on your Mac — no account, no internet needed once it’s downloaded, and nothing you type is sent anywhere. Attach any transcript and work through titles, themes, and content plans in complete privacy.

Can I hear the audiobook voice before exporting?

Yes — pick any macOS voice and speed, press Listen for an instant sample, then export the whole book chapter by chapter.

What computers does it run on?

On Mac: Apple Silicon M1 or newer, macOS 14+, and 8 GB memory. On PC: 64-bit Windows 10 22H2 or Windows 11, a modern 4-core Intel/AMD processor, and 8 GB RAM. We recommend 16 GB memory and an SSD for long recordings and larger local AI models.

Which payment plan should I choose?

Choose Publisher Monthly at $29 for flexibility or a focused book project. Publisher Annual at $149 is the strongest overall value: it saves $199 versus twelve monthly payments and includes managed Premium AI throughout the year. Choose Lifetime Studio at $249 only when you specifically prefer permanent local desktop tools without managed cloud AI.

What happens if I cancel a subscription?

You keep full access through the end of the paid billing period. Your projects and exports remain yours; after access ends, you can renew or move to Lifetime without losing your manuscript files.

How are Premium AI allowances protected and counted?

Publisher includes up to 100,000 completed polished words per monthly allowance period. The app shows remaining usage before you submit more work. Failed model requests are automatically refunded, duplicate submissions are not charged twice, and unusually large or automated traffic is rate-limited. Allowances are personal, non-transferable, do not roll over, and may not be pooled, resold, scraped, or accessed by bots or third-party services.

Does The Scribe store manuscripts sent to Premium AI?

No manuscript text is stored in The Scribe’s usage ledger. The service records privacy-minimized operational data such as hashed license identity, selected polish level, word and token counts, cost estimate, status, and request time. Only the chapter you deliberately submit is sent securely to the model provider; recordings remain local.

Can I publish and sell the books it makes?

Yes. The KDP Publishing Assistant validates metadata, creates a clean publishing package, opens your Amazon KDP Bookshelf, and guides the upload. For account security and accuracy, The Scribe never stores your Amazon password and you review the preview, rights, territories, and pricing before pressing Amazon’s final Publish button.
