Speak it. Tag it. Done. Scribe is the fastest way to capture what you noticed in the field. Press the mic, say what's on your mind, and Scribe transcribes it on-device—no cloud round-trip, no waiting. Tag the note to a field, an asset, a region, or the whole farm. Mark it actionable with a target date if it needs follow-up. The note syncs to your OpticAg farm the moment you're back on a signal. Built for the way farming actually works... No signal in the back forty? Scribe doesn't care. Every note is saved on your phone first and queued for the next time you're in range. Your day doesn't pause for a loading spinner. What you can do with Scribe • Voice-to-text capture with on-device speech recognition — no typing required, works without an internet connection • Tag notes to a specific field, asset, region, or your whole farm • Mark notes as actionable with a target date for follow-up • Mark notes complete when the work is done • See a unified feed of every note across your farm — yours and your team's • Audio recordings are saved alongside transcripts so the original is always there • Works offline; syncs in the background when you're back online Connected to your OpticAg account... Scribe is a companion to the OpticAg farm management platform. Notes captured here show up on optic.ag, where they live alongside your fields, crop plans, asset histories, and team. Sign in with your existing OpticAg credentials. What's coming: Scribe is in active development. Expected soon: Assisted summarization, weather and location context attached to notes automatically, and broader Apple Intelligence integration for hands-free capture from your vehicle, Apple Watch, and Siri.
