As David implies, it all depends on what seeds you are trying to save. Crops like peppers or squashes produce large numbers of seeds on the inside which you just dry out and save. Beans can just be left to mature on the vine and the mature beans saved as seed. Tomatoes need to have the seeds separated from the enclosing sac. A bit of googling will give you lots of info about individual plants.
