Comparison
SayScreen vs Trainn
Trainn and SayScreen both aim at product tutorials, but they split the work differently. With Trainn you record a workflow and its AI agent edits, voices and packages it as a video, a guide and an interactive walkthrough, with an LMS on higher plans. With SayScreen you never record: describe the lesson, and the AI clicks through your web app, narrates and edits a finished MP4. Choose Trainn for a customer-education platform with distribution built in; choose SayScreen when you want the recording done for you and you'll host the video yourself.

Where Trainn and SayScreen differ
Who records
Trainn starts from your screen recording (or an uploaded video): its AI agent understands the workflow, edits it, adds zooms, spotlights, captions and an AI voiceover. SayScreen's AI records every video itself in a real Chrome browser, from a start page and a one-line lesson.
What else you get
Trainn turns one capture into a video, a step-by-step guide and an interactive walkthrough, and Scale adds a Knowledge Hub, in-app tutorials and an LMS. SayScreen makes the narrated video (MP4 + .srt) and leaves hosting to your help center or video host.
Updates
In Trainn you swap a clip when a feature changes and the agent rewrites the narration. In SayScreen you re-run the prompt against the live app, or edit a line of script to re-voice and re-time it.
