About

BotBook

Features
Read full description

BotBook is a journaling app for adult teams that want a verifiable record of who did what and when: college clubs, hobbyist groups, professional collaborations, robotics teams. Capture moments as they happen with text, photos, voice notes, and live transcription, and BotBook stamps each entry with the server-side time so the record holds up under review. KEY FEATURES • Photos, audio, and text in one entry. Take a quick photo of the work, hold the mic to dictate, and the transcript is right there alongside the audio file. • Server-side timestamps. The entry's "when" is set by BotBook's servers in UTC, not your phone, so the timeline can't be back-dated. • 24-hour edit window. Authors can fix typos and re-attach media for a day; after that, entries lock and anyone can comment but not rewrite. • Team roles. Team admins, mentors, journalees, and parents each see a view scoped to what they should be able to do. Admins can promote, demote, or remove members and invite new people via Gmail. • Live transcription. iOS Speech framework runs on-device by default; voice notes upload alongside the transcript. • Audit log. Every create / edit / delete / member change writes an append-only audit row with IP, device, and timestamp, so the team can prove provenance long after the fact. • Built for both phone and iPad. NavigationSplitView sidebar on iPad, hamburger on iPhone, identical features.
