A Tella alternative for people who don't need a video studio.
Tella is a gorgeous tool — animated layouts, branded backgrounds, multi-camera scenes. Screendog is deliberately plain. We strip recordings down to the essentials: capture it (or upload it), transcribe it, sort it into a folder, share the link.

The right tool for the right output
A Tella recording goes into a tweet, a landing page, or a YouTube short. A Screendog recording goes into a folder, gets a transcript and AI notes, and gets shared with a teammate. Both are valid jobs; they are not the same job.
Why Screendog skips the editor
Most everyday recordings — the walkthrough, the update, the explanation — have a short shelf life. Spending five minutes adding scene transitions to a recording someone will watch once is the wrong trade. We give you the recording, the transcript, the notes, and the link.
Frequently asked
Can I use Screendog for product launches?
You can, but Tella will produce a more polished output for that use case. Screendog has no scene transitions, branded backgrounds, or zoom-in animations.
Is there an editor at all?
No. Recordings are kept exactly as captured. Trim and re-record if you need a clean take, or upload a video you edited elsewhere.
