Scribe should work on any mainstream web browser (such as Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Safari etc.). Browser providers will sometimes issue updates that mean we need to do some work to maintain compatibility. We aim to do this work as quickly as possible. We can’t guarantee perfect backward compatibility with out of date browsers. The sketcher will not work on a mobile browser (Please use our native apps). If you have any concerns at all, or are having problems, please do get in touch via the contact us page.

There is an application available for Windows desktop devices, iOS devices and Android devices, as well as the web-based sketcher. There is no Mac version yet - although this is in the development pipeline, so watch this space!

For the web-based application you will need to be connected at all times to use the sketcher. For Windows desktop, iOS and Android you will only need to be connected when you initially open the sketcher, and again before you close to ensure your sketches are saved.

No, you will need to download and install the standalone application on your mobile device or tablet.
