Click on the API Key button in the navigation menu for step-by-step instructions on how to get your own API key. Software that does not have AI in the name does not require an API key.

About Our Downloads

Most of our programs are single Windows executable files (.exe). Two of our programs — CondenScribe AI Pro and ScribeForge OCR Pro — come as ZIP files instead, because they include advanced built-in OCR (optical character recognition) engines. Those two are covered separately below.

All of our downloads are completely safe — they do not contain viruses, malware, spyware, or anything harmful to your computer. However, because we are a small software company and our programs are not "code-signed" with an expensive certificate from a commercial certificate authority, Windows, your web browser, and Google Drive may show a few scary-looking warnings during the download process. These warnings are generic and automatic — they appear for any unsigned executable, regardless of whether it is actually dangerous. This page walks you through exactly what to expect and what to click.

If you ever feel uncertain, you are welcome to scan any of our files with your own antivirus software before running them.

Step 1: Clicking a Download Button

When you click one of the download buttons above, you will be taken to a Google Drive page. You'll see a message that says "No preview available" — this is normal. Google Drive cannot preview .exe or .zip files, but the file is there and ready to download. The name of the file you're about to download will be shown in the top-left corner of the page, so you can confirm you have the right one.

Click the blue Download button.

Step 2: Google Drive Warning

Because our programs are executable files (and some are quite large), Google Drive will display one of the following warnings:

• Google Drive can't scan this file for viruses. This file is executable and may harm your computer.

Or, for larger files:

• Google Drive has detected issues with your download This file is too large for Google to scan for viruses. This file is executable and may harm your computer.

This warning appears for every executable file on Google Drive — it is not specific to our software, and it does not mean anything is wrong with the file. Google simply cannot automatically scan executables (especially large ones) the way it scans documents.

Click Download anyway to proceed.

Step 3: Browser Warning (If Shown)

Your web browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, etc.) may also warn you that executable files can harm your computer, or ask you to confirm that you want to keep the file. If prompted, choose Keep or Keep anyway. The file will finish downloading to your Downloads folder.

Step 4: Moving the File (Optional)

Once the file has finished downloading, you can leave it in your Downloads folder or move it anywhere you like — your Desktop, Documents, a dedicated "Assessments" folder, wherever is most convenient for you. The location does not affect how the program works.

Step 5: Opening the File

For most of our programs, the download is a single .exe file. To run the software:

• Double-click the .exe file, or

• Right-click the file and select Open

For CondenScribe AI Pro and ScribeForge OCR Pro, the download is a ZIP file. See the section "ZIP Downloads" below for instructions before continuing.

Step 6: Windows SmartScreen Warning

The first time you run the program, Windows may display a blue warning screen that says:

Windows protected your PC Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognised app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk.

At first glance this looks like Windows is blocking the file because it's dangerous — it is not. Windows shows this warning for any application that has not been run enough times worldwide to build a "reputation" with Microsoft. Smaller software vendors (like us) run into this routinely.

To proceed:

1. Click More info (a small link that appears underneath the warning text).

2. A Run anyway button will appear at the bottom of the dialog.

3. Click Run anyway to launch the program.

The software will then open normally.

ZIP Downloads (CondenScribe AI Pro and ScribeForge OCR Pro)

CondenScribe AI Pro and ScribeForge OCR Pro are larger than our other programs because they include full OCR (optical character recognition) capabilities — they can read text directly from scanned PDFs and image-based documents without needing any other software installed on your computer. Bundling those OCR engines, along with their language data, makes the download bigger but means everything works out of the box.

To keep startup times fast, these two programs are packaged as a folder containing the .exe and a separate folder of supporting files, all bundled together inside a ZIP archive.

Here is what to do after the ZIP file finishes downloading:

1. Find the ZIP file in your Downloads folder.

2. Right-click the ZIP file and choose Extract All. Pick a location for the extracted folder — your Documents folder, Desktop, or anywhere convenient. Click Extract.

3. Open the extracted folder. You will see something like this:

For CondenScribe AI Pro:

• CondenScribeAIPro.exe — The program. Double-click to run.

• _CondenSystemFiles\ — Required support files. Do not delete, move, or rename this folder.

• README.txt — Quick reference.

For ScribeForge OCR Pro:

• ScribeForge_OCR_Pro.exe — The program. Double-click to run.

• _internal\ — Required support files. Do not delete, move, or rename this folder.

• _internal\ — Required support files. Do not delete, move, or rename this folder.

4. Double-click the .exe file to launch the program.

Important: do NOT run the program directly from inside the ZIP file. Windows lets you peek inside ZIP files and even double-click the .exe within them, but the program needs its supporting folder extracted to a real folder on your computer in order to work. If you try to run it from inside the ZIP, it will either fail to start or behave unpredictably.

Important: keep the .exe and its support folder together. The support folder (_CondenSystemFiles or _internal) must stay in the same folder as the .exe. Do not delete, rename, or move that folder on its own. If you want to move the program somewhere else, move the entire extracted folder as one unit.

Optional — desktop shortcut: to make either program easier to launch, right-click the .exe and choose "Send to" → "Desktop (create shortcut)". You can then double-click the shortcut on your desktop. The original .exe must remain in its folder alongside its support folder for the shortcut to work.

Still Having Trouble?

If Windows or your antivirus software is blocking the file from opening even after the steps above, try the following:

• Unblock the file: Right-click the .exe file, select Properties, and at the bottom of the General tab, check the Unblock box (if one is shown), then click OK. This tells Windows that you trust the file.

• Temporarily pause your antivirus: Some third-party antivirus programs may quarantine unsigned programs. You can add our software as an exception.
