Nest Recorder — free screen recorder for SAP training
Record your screen while you talk through it, then turn the take into a training video people can follow: captions from your own voice, a webcam or avatar bubble, and a step-by-step Word guide. Recordings stay on your computer.
- Windows 10 (version 2004) or later, 64-bit

Windows will warn you the first time
This build is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen shows “Windows protected your PC”. Click More info, then Run anyway. If your laptop is managed by your employer, the install may be blocked entirely — check the file against the checksum below and ask your IT team to allow it.

What it does
- Record a full screen, one window, or an area you drag — with your microphone, the sound from your computer, and a webcam or avatar bubble.
- Stay out of the way: a floating toolbar (timer, pause, mute, mark step, draw) that never appears in the video, plus click rings and keyboard-shortcut chips that do.
- Captions from your voice, transcribed on your own computer — burn them into the video or save an .srt file.
- An avatar instead of your face: it follows your mouth, blinks and head turns with the camera on, or moves with your voice when it is off.
- Trim and export an MP4, and generate a Word step guide with a screenshot and your words for each step.
Your recordings stay with you
Video, audio and transcripts are written to Videos\Nest Recorder on your own machine. Transcription runs locally, so the audio never leaves the computer. A free Nest account is needed to record; after signing in the app keeps working offline for 14 days at a time.
Good to know
- The app updates itself: new versions download in the background and install when you restart.
- The first transcription downloads a speech model (45–260 MB depending on the quality you choose).
- Just need a quick clip? Record in your browser — no install, up to five minutes.
- It is not affiliated with or endorsed by SAP.
- Third-party licences — the app includes FFmpeg (GPL) and other open-source components.
