## What is LocAIdoc?

A letter to understand? A contract to summarize? A meeting to transcribe? LocAIdoc does it all on your iPhone, iPad or Mac — without a single byte leaving the device.

ON DEVICE, NO NETWORK
• Scan paper, import a PDF or photo, dictate a note: text is extracted locally (offline OCR and transcription).
• Ten tools: scan cleanup, summary, plain language, fact sheet, ask-the-document, deadlines to Calendar, translation into six languages, read aloud…
• Import from clipboard (copied email, screenshot) or from video (audio track transcribed on-device).
• Editable original text: fix OCR or transcription errors before processing.
• Drag & drop (Mac): drop files directly from Finder onto the app.
• Crop before OCR: select the exact area to analyze when importing an image.
• Formatting for export: apply bold, italic or underline — preserved when pasting into Pages, Word or Mail.
• Session memory: your documents and treatments are restored on next launch.
• Everything works in airplane mode. Even in a cave.

TO ONLINE AI, WITHOUT YOUR DATA
Need a more powerful AI? LocAIdoc pseudonymizes first: names, addresses, phone numbers and IDs become neutral markers. Copy the veiled text, paste the AI's reply: the real terms are restored, on your device. The mapping table NEVER leaves the device.

FRUGAL
Local AI does the heavy lifting for free. Online AI only receives (and bills) the essentials: a 149-page file is roughly 200,000 tokens; its veiled summary, 800.

FREE, ACTUALLY
No account. No ads. No subscription. No server. No data collected.

Your documents. Your AI. Your device.

Local AI tools (summary, fact sheet, questions…) require Apple Intelligence; pattern-based pseudonymization and OCR work on all compatible devices.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.8 — 2026-10-29

More refined pseudonymization:
• Consistently shifted dates: delays and timelines stay exact for the AI, while the real dates are never sent.
• Birth dates replaced by a fictitious date, ages given in 5-year ranges.
• Far fewer doubts to review: the app now settles the obvious cases on its own (common words, acronyms, medical terms, addresses).
• Much faster on long documents: repeated lines (headers, footers) are analyzed only once.
• More precise wording: “Pseudonymize” and “Restore” replace “Anonymize” and “De-anonymize”.
• More reliable restoration of dates and ages in the AI's reply.

### 1.7 — 2026-10-21

More reliable de-anonymization: markers ([NAME_1], [PHONE_1]…) are now language-neutral, and real terms are restored even if the remote AI slightly altered a marker.

New “Copy for AI” button: adds an instruction to the veiled text asking the AI to keep the markers unchanged.

Reply check: after pasting the AI's reply, the app reports which markers were found, unknown or missing.

Help translated into more languages. Performance and stability improvements.

### 1.6 — 2026-10-11

New "Transform to…" tool: convert your documents to 17 standard professional formats (VSM, Factur-X, FHIR, iCalendar, vCard…).

New export: PDF, TXT or RTF for any result.

The photo library now accepts videos too (audio track transcribed locally).

Reorganized, clearer Tools menu.

All features are now available on iPhone and iPad — full parity with the Mac version. Improved performance and stability.

### 1.5 — 2026-10-07

All tools now available on iPhone and iPad — full parity with the Mac version.

Improved performance and stability.

### 1.4 — 2026-10-03

Session memory: your documents and treatments are automatically restored on next launch.

Drag & drop (Mac): drop files directly from Finder onto the app.

Formatting for export: select text and apply bold, italic or underline — formatting is preserved when pasting into Pages, Word or Mail.

Crop before OCR: when importing an image, a crop tool lets you select the exact area to analyze.
