D&D Session Transcription, Recaps & Campaign Wiki
Everything DM Scribe does starts from one recording of your Dungeons & Dragons session: a searchable transcript, a recap your players will read, a campaign wiki that writes itself, and answers you can trace back to the table. Works for any tabletop RPG.
Audio Transcription
High-Accuracy Transcription
Upload a recording and DM Scribe converts it into a faithful, time-stamped transcript using state-of-the-art AI speech recognition. It's built for the messy reality of a game table — crosstalk, dice, snacks, and four-hour sessions.
Record Right in Your Browser
No recording app required: hit Record in DM Scribe, run your session, and hit Stop & Save — the recording flows straight into transcription. Pause and resume freely; we keep your screen awake and warn you before you'd lose anything.
It Learns Your World's Names
Fantasy names are the hardest thing for any transcription engine — so DM Scribe feeds yours back in. Character, place, and faction names from your wiki (and their nicknames) guide each new transcription, so 'Thordak Ironforge' stops coming out as 'Thor Dak iron forge.'
Read, Copy & Download Transcripts
Every transcript is right there in the app: expand it to read, flip on timestamps to see exactly when something was said, copy it to your clipboard, or download it as a text file for your own archives.
Almost Any Audio or Video Format
Bring whatever your recorder, phone, camera or virtual tabletop produces — MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV, MKV, phone voice memos and more. We pull the audio out and transcode it behind the scenes, and a multi-track recording (OBS's mic-plus-Discord setup) is mixed so every voice transcribes. One known exception: FLV — set OBS to MKV or MP4 instead.
Built for Long Sessions
Transcription runs as a background job in the cloud, so you can upload a full session, close the tab, and walk away. We email you the moment your transcript, wiki entries, and recap are ready.
Bring Your Own Transcripts
Already have transcripts from Discord, another transcription tool, or a play-by-post game? On any plan, import them as .txt or .md files (or paste the text) and DM Scribe runs the full AI chain — entities, relationships, recap — without using a single transcription hour. Free includes 2 imports a month; Guild Master is unlimited.
Ask Your Campaign
Answers From Your Own Story
Ask in plain English — 'What did we promise the duke?' 'Who gave us the sending stone?' — and the AI answers using only your campaign's transcripts, wiki, recaps, and relationship graph. If your sessions don't contain the answer, it says so honestly instead of making something up.
Citations You Can Check
Every answer cites its sources, and each citation links straight to the wiki entry, session, or recap it came from. You're never left wondering whether the AI is right — click through and see the moment it happened.
Conversations That Remember
Follow-up questions work naturally — ask about an NPC, then 'and where did we last see her?' Your conversations are saved per campaign, so you can pick a thread back up days later, mid-prep.
Search That Understands Meaning
Behind the scenes, questions are matched both by keywords and by meaning, so asking about 'the creepy lighthouse keeper' finds the right NPC even if nobody ever called him that verbatim. Available on every plan, with a daily question allowance that grows with your tier.
AI-Powered Intelligence
Entity Extraction
The AI reads each transcript and pulls out the things that matter — NPCs, locations, items, factions, and pivotal events — then files them into your wiki automatically. Your campaign bible writes itself while you run the game.
AI Session Recaps
Each session is summarized into an engaging 'previously on…' recap of the key events, choices, and unresolved threads. Read it aloud to re-immerse your table in seconds instead of flipping through pages of notes.
Recap History & Regeneration
Regenerate any recap with the length, tone, and emphasis you want — and nothing is ever lost. Every version is kept in history, so you can compare, restore an earlier one, or hand-edit the summary yourself. Your edits are protected from being overwritten.
Relationship Detection
Beyond listing who's who, the AI infers how your world connects — allegiances, rivalries, who serves which faction — and lays it out as an interactive map. Plot threads and consequences become obvious at a glance.
D&D-Aware Categorization
Extraction is tuned for tabletop fantasy, so a Cloak of Elvenkind lands under items and Neverwinter under locations — not jumbled together. Entries are de-duplicated and aliased, so one NPC with three nicknames stays a single entry.
Campaign Management
A Living Campaign Wiki
Every extracted person, place, and thing becomes a linked, browsable wiki entry that deepens with each session you add. It's the single source of truth for your world — and you never had to type it up.
You're Always in Control
Anything the AI writes, you can edit — and once you do, it's locked: the AI will never overwrite a field you've set by hand. You get the speed of automation without ever losing authorship of your story.
Search That Knows Your Nicknames
Instantly find any NPC, location, item, or event across every session — and because search understands your world's aliases, looking up 'Thor' finds 'Thordak Ironforge.' No more 'what was that innkeeper's name?' three sessions later.
Organize Your Way
Group entries into the categories that fit your world, and run multiple campaigns side by side. Each one keeps its own wiki, sessions, and cast cleanly separated.
Campaign Timeline
A bird's-eye view of your whole campaign: every session in order with its recap snippet and key events, plus which NPCs, places, and factions made their first appearance when. Ideal for returning from a hiatus or tracing where a plot thread started.
One-Click Session Documents
Download any session's recap and full transcript together as a single, polished document — formatted for reading, ready to print or save as a PDF. Perfect for campaign binders or sharing the story so far.
Pre-Session Prep View
Five minutes before game time, open the prep view: last session's summary, active quests, key NPCs and their status, recent locations, and the cliffhanger you left them on — your DM screen, assembled automatically.
Collaboration & Sharing
Player-Facing Wiki
Publish a clean, read-only version of your wiki and hand players a single secure link — no account needed on their end. Everyone shows up to the next session actually remembering what happened.
GM Notes Stay Private
Your private GM notes — the secret behind the cult, the villain's true name — are never included in a shared wiki. Links expire on a schedule you choose and can be revoked at any time. Share the lore, keep the twists.
Always Up to Date
Process a session and the shared wiki reflects it automatically — players always see the latest canon without you re-sending anything. Your prep and their reference stay in perfect sync.
Access Anywhere
Your campaigns live securely in the cloud and open on any device with a browser — laptop at the table, phone on the train. Nothing to install and nothing to back up by hand.
Plus Everything Else You Need
Private & Secure
Encrypted in transit and at rest, private to your account — with self-serve data export and deletion built in
Set It and Forget It
Sessions process in the background with live progress — search your whole campaign the moment they land
Works Everywhere

In more detail
Each of these goes further into how the feature actually works, and where it does not help.
- Session transcription that already knows your characters’ names
Upload a session recording and get a timestamped transcript. Your wiki’s character and place names are fed to the model, so fantasy nouns survive.
- A campaign wiki that is written by the session, not after it
NPCs, locations, items and factions are extracted from your session transcript into a linked wiki you can edit, share with players, and search.
- Session recaps you can read at the table without editing them first
A "previously on" recap generated from your session transcript, with key events, decisions and cliffhangers. Regenerate, hand-edit, and keep old versions.
- Ask your campaign a question and get an answer with citations
Ask what the party promised the duke, or who gave them the sending stone. Answers come from your own sessions, with citations you can click and check.
- A relationship map of everyone your party has tangled with
See how NPCs, factions and locations connect — built from your session transcripts rather than drawn by hand, and editable where the AI got it wrong.
Who this is for
The same product, but the problem it solves looks different depending on how you play. Each of these says plainly who should not bother, too.
- Actual play and podcast crews
Actual play crews already have clean multitrack audio. Turn it into show notes, a searchable archive and accessibility transcripts.
- Professional and paid GMs
Running paid games for several tables means the worst continuity problem in the hobby — and a business reason to solve it. How the notes help.
- West Marches and open-table campaigns
Twenty players, rotating parties, one shared world — and nobody who was at every session. A shared record is the format’s missing piece.
- Daggerheart tables
Nothing in the pipeline is rules-aware, so Daggerheart transcribes and extracts like any other game. The prompts say D&D. Here is what to do about it.
- Pathfinder 2e tables
Pathfinder sessions transcribe, extract and recap like any other game — nothing here is rules-aware. What the D&D-tuned prompts cost, and the fix.
