What's new
- New System settings tab. CPU load, interface language, file recording, logging and startup are now on a separate System tab. The new Start Scribe when I sign in checkbox reads and changes the real Windows startup state.
- Proper installer and uninstaller.
ScribeSetup.exeinstalls Scribe per user (no administrator rights) into%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Scribe, adds a Start Menu shortcut and registers a standard Windows uninstaller. Uninstalling closes a running Scribe automatically and removes the program and all of its data. - One data folder for every build.
Scribe.exealways keeps settings and models in%LOCALAPPDATA%\Scribe, no matter which folder it is launched from. The separateScribe-portable.zipandportable.flagare gone; the installed and standalone copies share the same settings and models. - Automatic migration. If an older copy kept
settings.jsonormodels\next toScribe.exe, Scribe moves them into%LOCALAPPDATA%\Scribeonce on startup and removes the old copies. - Version 1.4.0.
Where settings and models are stored
| Path | Contents |
|---|---|
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Scribe\settings.json
| Interface and recognition language, selected model, hotkeys, replacements, colors, autostart and other settings |
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Scribe\models\
| Downloaded Vosk and punctuation models |
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Scribe\records\
| Transcriptions saved to file |
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Scribe\app.log
| Diagnostic log |
On first launch Scribe creates settings.json with defaults and asks for the recognition language and model. The installed and standalone builds share this folder.
To move Scribe to another computer, copy the whole %LOCALAPPDATA%\Scribe folder (or at least settings.json and models\).
Uninstalling removes everything. After the standard Windows confirmation, the uninstaller closes a running Scribe and deletes the program folder and the entire %LOCALAPPDATA%\Scribe folder, including settings and downloaded models. The next installation starts fresh and asks for the language again. Back up %LOCALAPPDATA%\Scribe\models before uninstalling if you want to keep the downloaded models.
Installing
- Close Scribe completely (tray -> Exit).
- Run
ScribeSetup.exeand follow the wizard. - Start Scribe from the Start Menu.
Scribe.exe is also attached for standalone use; it uses the same %LOCALAPPDATA%\Scribe folder.
Upgrading from 1.3.x
Run ScribeSetup.exe over the existing installation. Your settings and models in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Scribe are kept. If you used the old portable build, the data next to Scribe.exe is migrated automatically on first launch.
