You can record in Scribenote without an internet connection, but you'll need one to turn that recording into a note or to view your notes. For the best experience, we recommend a strong and stable connection.
Every recording is uploaded to our servers so it can be processed into a note. We call this syncing. Once a recording is synced, your note is available on any device you log in to.
✅ Often working with spotty internet? Use the mobile app. Phones can connect through WiFi or cellular data, so if your WiFi drops, the app can keep uploading over cellular instead. If neither is available, your recordings will wait on your device and finish uploading in the background once you reconnect. Your notes will then process automatically.

Once you press Stop, your recording saves locally on the device you're using. Scribenote syncs it once you're back online.
Until it syncs, the recording:
Can only be accessed on the device it was recorded on
Won't be processed into a note
⚠️ Don't clear your browser cache or delete the app while you have unsynced recordings. This removes the recordings from your device, and they can't be recovered.
For steps to check on or retry an unsynced recording, see our syncing guide:
