Leave the lab with the record already done. Speak your notes while your hands are busy. Verbex timestamps every word, organizes it into a clean lab record, and lets you ask your past experiments questions later. All on your device. The protocol says what should happen. Verbex records what actually happened. NEW IN 2.1: RUN A PROTOCOL Open a protocol's PDF and Verbex shows it one step at a time, in the protocol's own words. Change a step or take it out before you start. At each step, speak, type or snap a photo, and it stays with that step. Tap Done and move on. At the end, Verbex writes up your notebook entry for you to check: the steps you did, what you noticed, and how the run went. RUN IT AGAIN Running the same protocol next week? Start it again from its record, and see what you noted last time at each step. A Verbex PDF or Markdown export carries its protocol too, so opening it runs exactly the same steps. ASK YOUR PAST EXPERIMENTS Ask "What changed from the previous run?" and get a short answer from your own notes, with the exact passages it came from. Tap a source to read it in full. Answers are generated privately on your device by Apple Intelligence. CAPTURE WITHOUT STOPPING Speak a note, type a quick update, start a timer, or snap a photo without putting anything down. Every capture keeps its time, so your record shows when things really happened, deviations and all. NO MORE REWRITING AT NIGHT Verbex organizes your captures into Objective, Materials, Procedure, Observations and Conclusion. Review the draft, edit anything, and complete it. It never invents data. SNAP THE LABEL, SKIP THE TYPING Photograph a reagent bottle and Verbex reads the catalog number, lot and expiry into your Materials, ready for your review. A RECORD YOU CAN TRUST Completing an experiment seals the record with its full history. Export to PDF, Word or Markdown for your ELN, your PI or your lab meeting. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Transcription, label reading, drafting and Ask all run on your iPhone or iPad. No account. No cloud. No tracking. Your notes stay yours. CHOOSE YOUR SPEECH ENGINE Use Apple Speech, built in, or download a Whisper model for higher accuracy. Both run on your device. FEATURES - Run a protocol one step at a time, from a PDF or text file - Run it again, with last run's notes at each step - Hands-free voice notes, typed notes, timers and photos - Timestamps on every capture - Structured lab records you review before completing - Ask: answers from your own notes, with sources - On-device reagent label reading into Materials - Sealed completed records with full history - PDF, Word and Markdown export - Import earlier Verbex Markdown exports - Face ID and Touch ID app lock - iPhone, iPhone Duo and iPad ACCESS Choose Weekly, Monthly or Annual access. Subscriptions renew automatically at the price shown unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Completed records stay yours to view and export, even if you stop subscribing. Ask requires a device that supports Apple Intelligence and is available in English. Verbex is a capture and documentation tool, not a replacement for your institution's official ELN.
