Scriptorium 0.1.0 (test pre-release)

The first test build of Scriptorium, for trying the app. This is an early pre-release: every feature is implemented and tested against recorded provider responses, but none has yet been run against the live APIs with real keys. Expect rough edges, and check results against your sources.

What it does

• Extract text from PDFs and images, printed or handwritten, with Gemini, OpenAI, Claude or Mistral. Lines are kept as on the page or joined into running text.
• Transcribe audio and video with speakers and timestamps, in the cloud or offline with Whisper (models download from Settings). Speakers can be given their real names in the review.
• Analyse texts with fields you define: a summary, the people, places and organisations named, a tone with a reason, themes from your own list. Ready-made analyses cover the common needs.
• Review every result beside its source, set as a critical edition, with corrections kept apart from the AI output.
• Compare models on the same documents, with their differences and error rates.
• Resume interrupted jobs without paying twice, and save a job's settings as a pipeline.
• Export to text, Markdown, Word, JSON, CSV, subtitles and searchable PDF (from Mistral OCR), each with a provenance.json.

Download

• Scriptorium_0.1.0_arm64-setup.exe: Windows 11 on ARM64 (Snapdragon laptops). An x64 build will follow.

Known limitations

• Unsigned installer: Windows SmartScreen will warn. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
• English interface only; French and German will follow.
• The app icon and name are not final (#1).

Included software

Scriptorium bundles FFmpeg 9.0.2 (audio only) under the LGPL v2.1 or later, with libopus (BSD); nothing needs to be installed separately. The exact source of the bundled FFmpeg, its build configuration and licences are in the ffmpeg-9.0.2-1 release. Offline transcription uses whisper.cpp (MIT).
